Last seen on alemara's journal:

1. Post a list of fandoms.
2. Have your friends list guess your favorite character from each fandom.
3. When guessed, bold the fandom, enter in who got it and a sentence about why you like the character/person.

Some of these will be easy. Some might not be! Keep in mind that I am going by canon favorites for this assessment.

1. Harry Potter ceitfianna and flyakate guessed Hermione, and yes, she is my favorite in canon. I always loved Hermione because she was smart, and she didn't care who knew it.
2. Supernatural viridian guessed Dean. Yeah, I'm a Dean girl. He's just- he has this yearning quality to him that appeals to me very much. What Is and What Should Never Be kills me dead every time I watch it.
3. Neverwhere viridian guessed Door. This was one of the easy ones. Door kicks ass. Literally and figuratively.
4. Chronicles of Narnia flyakate guessed Edmund, and yes, he was my childhood favorite, and I am still awfully fond of him. It's the character arc thing. He comes so far from the whiny, angry boy to the King of Narnia.
5. Lord of the Rings
6. Sandman viridian guessed Death. How can you not love Death? She's beautiful, she dresses well, and she does her job so well that I wouldn't mind seeing her at the end of my line.
7. Star Trek: The Next Generation coppinggoggles got it! I loved Data back in the day. I seem to be drawn to character arcs in which characters grow a great deal. So a non-human character trying to be human? Yeah, that punches all my buttons. Plus Data was adorable.
8. Buffy the Vampire Slayer oneechan19 remembered it was Anya! Oh, Anya, snarky, funny, and so vulnerable to the hardships of humanity. I loved you so.
9. Ugly Betty
10. Dr. Who

1. Tom Riddle?
2. Dean?
3. Door?
6. Maybe Death?
8. I couldn't even begin to guess. Um. Spike?
10. Nine?

Ooh, give that girl a cookie!

You got 2, 3, and 6.

Heh, I mostly picked my favorites or ones I lean toward if I have no favorite because I've noticed you & I share some similar fandom tastes. :D

[crazedcrusader.livejournal.com]

8. Faith! And if it's not it should be! ;)

[vivien]

Alas, she is one of my favorites, but she is not my top all time favorite.

[ceitfianna]

I'm going to go with Susan for number four and maybe Tom for one but that feels almost to easy.

[vivien]

Ah, this was the not so easy answer category. In RP and fanon, Susan and Tom are absolutely my favorites, but in canon reading, they are not.

[ceitfianna]

I'm not terribly surprised to be wrong actually. Then second guess for one I'm throwing two in Dumbledore and perhaps Hermione.

Honestly I'm really not sure for Narnia.

[vivien]

You got it! Hermione.

Deleted and reposted because I fail at figuring out which "reply" replies where...

[flyakate]

Granted, many of these are based off my personal likes, disregarding the HP one...

1. Hermione? McGonagall? Maybe two at once is cheating :o)

4. Edmund

8. Xander? He's always been one of my favorites.

10. Ninth Doctor, unless of course we're talking Classic Who and then... I have no idea.

Re: Deleted and reposted because I fail at figuring out which "reply" replies where...

[vivien]

You and Fi got #1 - it's Hermione.
And yay, you got #4!

[flyakate]

\o/ Woo! I love Edmund too for similar reasons, because we get a real sense of how he changes as the stories continue, even between LWW and Prince Caspian.

[oneechan19.livejournal.com]

Is 8. Anya? (I guess this since long long ago you played her at MW.)

[vivien]

YOU GOT IT! I knew you would, if you remembered that. :-)

I'm going to go with Eowyn for LOTR. She's kickass enough to be your type.

[vivien]

I love Eowyn, but she is not my top favorite.
