gacked from rachelthedemon:

Name a character from one of my fandoms and I'll give you either (a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon, (b) a reason he/she sucks, (c) a reason she/he is awesomecakes, (d) three things that never happened to that character or (e) three people that character never fell in love with and why. You pick the character. I pick the letter.

GAH! No fandoms listed!

I know Avatar, at least, so I'll bother you about the following characters:

Zuko

Ty Lee

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Sorry! I didn't know we needed to! But check out my tags - most of my fandoms are in there, and there's a LOT.

Zuko: he's awesome because, even though WE know that he's going to do a face turn, he spends most of the first book being a competent villain, and doing everything possible to catch the Avatar.

Ty Lee

1.) Is awesome because she is the one person who consistantly stands up to Azula - saying, no I don't want to go with you' even if she later changes her tune, and her pwnage at Boiling Rock.

It's funny...I'm always torn, when I hit these things on your journal, between trying to be original or just breaking down and naming a main Avatar character. Today, I think I shall be lazy.

Katara. ♥

I know, I puzzle over the same things.

1.) Jet. Honestly, the only thing that prevented her from falling for him was time - if he'd had more time to prove he had changed...

2.) Aang, if she had had the time to see him grow up, became a man and not just a boy or the avatar... maybe. As it was, by the time he was someone she could love romantically, she was already married to someone else.

3.) Batou. It was never spoken of, but it was quite common in the water tribes for well-established men to take young brides, and Hakoda would have like to have Batou bound to the family by marriage and not solely friendship; for many years it was just understood that when they returned from war, Batou would have a bride. Batou took one look the way the newly crowned Fire Lord watched the Avatar's Waterbender, and knew he didn't have the slightest chance.

He wasn't sure if he was relieve or disappointed.

Twin icons, ftw. ♥ And lovely snippets...you know I mostly ship Zuko/Katara, but I do kinda panship them both over a certain range, and a little part of my heart is warmed that Haru is not on this list. ^_^;

It's always relatively hard to pick what fandom to use for these, but I'm going for Firefly this time and saying River Tam.

awesomecakes: the "my turn" scene in serenity. If only violence were always that gorgeous.

I will go Black Jewels Trilogy on you and ask for Surreal SaDiablo.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

1.) She's one of the few whores who honestly likes sex, even if she lost her taste for the games that prostitution requires.

2.) Since coming to the Shadow Realm, sometimes, late at night, the jealousy (that she's alone while everyone else has that special, special person who made the pain all worth it) claws up inside her and she feels like she's going to split apart with rage and wishes futilely that there was call for her other profession here.

3.) By the time she meets the love of her life, she's give up on him ; it took quite a bit of work to win her heart and not just a place in her bed, and he things it would be worth a hundred times more effort than it took to make her fall for him.

Also, great icon.

[ivy-chan.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I'm loving that you have her showing jealousy towards all the people (frighteningly many) who managed their Happily Ever After. I've wondered about that angle as well, and if she often feels like she's being rejected as both a highly dangerous, competitive woman (assassin, without the nurturing qualities of Jaenelle and the women who were happily married), and as an experienced one (former whore, a label that carries a lot of stigma.) ...And then I want to write femmeslash between Surreal and Karla.

And thanks! Made it in an icon-making burst after watching POTC2 for the first time. ^__^

I was going to go with Sakura, but instead, because you don’t like him, I give you Shikamaru.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Fanon facts:

1.) She lost her virginity to 'this guy' who's name it takes her at least 30 seconds to remember. It was after Sasuke left, after Naruto left, and she was... she could just see herself in ten years as the pathetic ninja virgin still pining after Sasuke, and the thought of finding someone she loved as much as she'd loved him was exhausting, so she'd found some civilian who'd looked nice (not terribly handsome, but attractive enough), gotten half drunk with him, and gone home.

The sex sucked, but she popped her cherry before Ino, and that was worth a whole lot right there.

2.) The family situation's tense. Kakashi never quite new the details, but he does know that for a while there - the weeks after returning from Wave Country, before the chuunin exams arrived and he (he kicks himself to think this) had better things to thing about, she used to come over to his apartment a couple nights a week and practice cooking dinners. (She got pretty good too, although she was always best at breakfast.) At first, he thought she was trying to butter him up. It took him a humiliating amount of time to look underneath the underneath and realize she just didn't want to go home at night.

3.) She keeps her hair short for three reasons: it's a very shinobi cut, she likes it, and it proves that she's over Sasuke. (Now if her heart could just get the message.)

as for Shikamaru:

awesomesauce: I always like guys who don't think girls should diet.

[solace-adrift.livejournal.com]

Shikamaru really doesn’t strike me as the type to really care about appearances that much. Probably comes from him understanding that they’re far too much work to maintain, and that any girl that thinks they are worth the effort obviously has her priorities all messed up. And that is why he thinks Temari is so hot.

Also, the second Sakura one makes a scary amount of sense. As in it sounds like fic material…

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

c.) Because she is RAGING, SELFISH BRAT for the first two episodes after her introduction, and EVERYONE FORGETS THIS.

[terenewen.livejournal.com]

Claire from Heroes.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

c.) Because she's both the classic 'just a girl' cheerleader and a hero. Buffy had always know she was the Chosen One from the pilot, but with Claire we got to see her grow and for herself into a hero, and she made herself in a lot of ways.

Plus her relationship with her daddy makes me wibble.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

c.) The smile.

Enough said.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

three people that character never fell in love with and why.

1.) Sasuke. She was never in love with him - if fact, she doesn't really like him that much. But she knows Sakura does, and she can't stand the thought of those to together - besides, when he was younger, he was adorable.

2.) Shikamaru: there's a hell of a lot of reasons not to love him but the dealbreaker wasn't that he was smarter than her, didn't think she was fabulous, or was in love with that skank from Suna.

3.) Choiji: she could have been in love with him, later, once she realized the benefits of liking guys who were actually nice - but by that time, her pride wouldn't let her.

[spfizz.livejournal.com]

God knows you're into a hell of a lot of fandoms. But eh, since it was the fic I found you by, what about Hellsing? Integra.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

1.) Because she's badass enough that at thirteen, Alucard is like, 'you're badass enough to be my master."

2.) Because she's strong enough to hold her own against the Section 13's best.

3.) Because Section 13's best gives her a fucking escort just because she's so awesome.
