Casey Jones is the perfect side character for the Ninja Turtles. He's a deceptively simple idea that shouldn't work but does because you can do just about anything with him, from a depressing rise and fall battle with alcoholism, fatherhood, or even just being so whacky he manages to out-weird the Turtles despite being just a guy with a baseball bat.

@ami_angelwings Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan, from Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga books. Tougher than any Barrayaran native, best Mom ever, and gets to basically bookend the entire sprawling series with her own adventures, if that's not too grandiose a word. Suffers fools only to a point, and sometimes that point is of a very sharp blade.

@LeoJetSkiFuelnardo good pick, love Casey Jones

Not even Frank Herbert's preoccupation with mommy-dommies and weird inability to decide if Fremen had gender roles or not diminishes from the headcanon potential and I really enjoy Zendaya's portrayal in particular.

@ami_angelwings Cloud Strife forever. I feel so validated that what doesn't kill you makes you weirder

@ami_angelwings #FavCharacterAtoZ #FavCharacterC Cain, from John Wick 4. The writing in the film wasn't the best, but that character was a really interesting exploration of how someone blind would fight. Furthermore, I really enjoyed how the film displayed his reluctance to fight for the maquis, and the fact that he fights alongside John in the leadup to the final duel.

@ami_angelwings after choosing an Andor character for B, of course it's gotta be Cassian himself for C (with a shoutout to the ruthless Cinta, and best adoptive Dad, Clem).

"He knows everything he needs to know and feels everything he needs to feel. And when the day comes, and those two pull together, he will be an unstoppable force for good."

Don't worry, it's not going to be Dedra for D though.

@arcadiagt5 @ami_angelwings Outlanders was central to introducing me to Japanese comics as a teen, so it has a special place in my heart.

So I had a LOT of trouble with #FavCharacterC b/c I was trying to decide between Claire Redfield, Columbo & Cassandra Cain. I've decided to go off the board and go with...

Carrie Kelley from The Dark Knight Returns (which I enjoy, I know many people have qualms with it & I'm not uncritical but I like it), who is smart, brave, and has a lot of agency. She becomes Robin on her own, saves Batman multiple times and even breaks his orders to do so, displaying superior computer knowledge in the process. (I also love the generation gap between the two when Batman asked her where she learned to use computers because to Bruce computers are a Big Deal and she says "had to learn something in school" cuz kids grow up on computers now).

We just won't talk about the DKR sequels.

I actually assumed Columbo would show up a lot in #FavCharacterC but so far I haven't seen his name.

#QuestionOfTheDay #FavCharacterAtoZ

Who is your favourite fictional character from any work whose name (if they only have one) or first name begins with the letter "D"?

Please include the series/work the character is from and why they are your favourite.

Include the hashtag #FavCharacterAtoZ also, so we can easily group the answers.

Similar to the rules on "C", Detective/Doctor/etc don't count unless that's a proper name & not a title. (i.e. Detective Chimp & The Doctor count, Detective Lennie Briscoe & Dr. House do not)

Add the hashtag #FavCharacterD to it so there's sub-sorting as well.

@ami_angelwings Well, obviously no one can pick him, his first name is Lieutenant.

[ami_angelwings@urusai.social]

@otherdracula that's also true

@ami_angelwings I am contractually obligated to say Dracula. #FaveCharacterD

Definitely one of the best developed female characters in video games across the timeline from 2000 to date.

@otherdracula if you didn't I would be obligated to flamethrower you as an alien imposter

[yon@sakurajima.moe]

@ami_angelwings Donut, or rather Princess Donut. She’s now a talking cat, before she was just a cat, and hangs out with Carl from yesterday’s #FavCharacterAtoZ in the dungeon crawl.

She’s sassy, she’s a diva, and she’s insecure as hell but a lot smarter and more capable than what she lets on.

#DungeonCrawlerCarl

(And she’s totally taking the spotlight from Carl:))

it's interesting that Dr. Strange is an edge case b/c Dr. Strange is both his professional title and his superhero name.

[silvergm@dice.camp]

@ami_angelwings #FavCharacterAtoZ #FavCharacterD Dall Sabin, from Tactical Breach Wizards. She's a hero of the resistance, that outright stole a riot cop's gear, and uses it themselves. Interestingly, while her nation is oppressed by a theocracy, she's not an atheist; she actually follows an opposing denomination of the same religion. The writing of the conflict is fascinating. On top of all that, she's a lot of fun to play, ramming into enemies at high speed.
