@ami_angelwings she is pretty great

Angua, probably one of the most relatable characters Terry Pratchett ever wrote. Sarcastic werewolf would be an obnoxious power fantasy anywhere else, but Angua is lost and torn in a million directions in an amazingly mundane way. You'd never -want- to deal with what she has to, but you do every day just by having to get up in the morning.

@ami_angelwings #FavCharacterAtoZ #FavCharacterB I promise not all of these are going to be #pathfinder Golarion gods, but I can't mention them without bringing up my personal favourite: Black Butterfly, Empyeral Lord of introversion, silence, and travel. She considers herself one of the Great Old Ones, but out of spite; she constantly fights cosmic horrors. She also encourages people to communicate non-verbally and appreciate moments of silence, something our world could really use.

@ami_angelwings Aunt Petunia's favourite nephew. Because he's us at our best AND worst: too stubborn and ugly to quit.

Balto! This was one of my favorite childhood movies. I like how he goes from being ashamed of his wolf heritage to embracing it over the course of the story. I still hope to see the Balto statue in Central Park one day; that's been on my bucket list since I was a little kid because of this movie.

I've read some of the novels too. Some feature Balsa, some Chagum.

[ami_angelwings@urusai.social]

@pkemner i've read parts of the first novel and i plan to read the entire thing, one thing is I liked the ending to the novel better than the anime simply because when the creature was swatting away all the torches, I was thinking "why don't you throw something at it with a torch following right behind?" and that's exactly what Balsa did and I like when heroes hit upon the obvious clever solution like that

@lalah BALTO! Good mention!

[pkemner@urusai.social]

@ami_angelwings It's funny they left that out in the anime. It probably didn't strike the storyboarder as significant.

#FavCharacterAtoZ Favourite Fictional Character from Any Work: A & B.

"A" would be Ami Mizuno, who was already chosen, but I have my biases.

"B" I'm going with Bill S. Preston, Esquire, because I'm planning to try and do the whole list with time travel characters. He narrowly beats out Dr. Ben Song.

(Ami was also a time traveler in Sailor Moon R.) #TimeTravelAuthors

[ami_angelwings@urusai.social]

@pkemner they knew it would make her too cool for the screen to handle

[press_rouch@mastodon.green]

@ami_angelwings

The really obvious ones would be Bojack or Buffy, but I'm going to go for (at the risk of just choosing Andor characters for the rest of this series): Brasso.

The most trustworthy friend anyone could want. The choices he makes to protect his comrades make him a legend in my eyes.

And he's an absolute unit too.

#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 "C"?

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

Note: Captain/Commander/etc only count if that's a proper name & not just a rank. Captain America/Marvel, Captain N are their proper hero names so they count, but Captain Picard/Kirk do not.

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

Also add the hashtag #FavCharacterC so we can sub-sort the answers too.

[nighttimeapparition@indiepocalypse.social]

@ami_angelwings My favorite character is Battia Bureitin Rou, Officer First Class of the Santovasku Empire. (Outlanders, Johji Manabe)

She is a messy character, but she is loyal, caring, and would die to protect those she loves.

I had a crush on her when I was like, 14.

@ami_angelwings Here's an offbeat one: the Chief of CONTROL, from the 1960s series Get Smart, played by Edward Platt. His job was to convince himself every week that it was still a good idea to send Maxwell Smart on assignments while also trying not to strangle him. Platt was very very good at doing a slow burn.

(I think this counts as a C? His real first name comes up once, but everyone calls him Chief, and it's even how he's listed in the credits.)

@ami_angelwings Right now, Carl. Who you ask? From Dungeon Crawl World: Earth!

Recently picked up the first book (Dungeon Crawler Carl) and I’m hooked. It has some issues that I usually find tropey but the author pulls it off anyways. It’s a bit self aware.

Carl is a great character because he’s not a super human or has some kind of flawless super character. He’s a flawed protagonist that tried his best. Sure he obviously succeeds wildly better than most, but if that wasn’t the case it would have been Dungeon Crawler Carl, the short short story.

His insecurities and strengths and choices makes him an interesting and likable character. Paired with a story shock full of twist and turns that doesn’t feel forced but actually organic. Like the forces we aren’t fully aware of actually function, not just “let’s take all his equipment and put him in a cell” twists. I hate those. Real life is full of fuck you your life is ruined. Don’t want that in my entertainment.

Anyone who has read the books knows my choice for tomorrow

@ami_angelwings someone else replied A2 from nier automata and I think I agree, she has a really compelling emotional arc in the time you spend with her and I just like her a lot. Especially in the supplemental material

@ami_angelwings

Chirin from Ringing Bell!

He is a sheep determined to become a wolf after a wolf kills his mother. A cool film about becoming the thing you hate.

@ami_angelwings my #FavCharacterC is Clairen from rivals of Aether just on account of being my favorite character I've ever maimed in any game I've ever played. I wish it were more complex than that but it isn't, I just love her
