The 15 character meme going around

[shadowkat]

I'm not sure about this meme...because it requires a response and doing posts that require people to respond, worry me. Because, hello, what if no one does? Then you look a bit silly, right? Not to mention lonely? Also isn't a bit presumptious to be asking people to respond to your post and talk about you? I'm guessing no one else ever worries about these things?

But this looked a bit interesting to me...

List fifteen of your favorite characters from different fandoms, and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, if they're so inclined.


1. Spike (Buffy)
2. Aeryn Sun (Farscape)
3. Susan Ivanonva from Bab 5
4. Kara Thrace (Starbuck) from Battlestar Galatica
5. Owen from Torchwood
6. Greg House from House
7. Sir Jamie Lannister (aka The Kingslayer) from Song of Ice and Fire
8. Illyria from Angel
9. Wash from Firefly
10. Nikita from La Femme Nikita
11. Kalinda from The Good Wife
12. Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games
13. Lock from Lost
14. Veronica Mars - Veronica Mars
15. Dr. River Song from Doctor Who

You like characters that chose their own way and defy stereotypes, also women who take joy in the extraordinary things they do. Not angsting about being the chosen one but enjoying their own competence, if you know what I mean.

The men I know from the list all have a thing for sarcasm (well except Wash).

Thank you. This is a great response. Particularly this bit:

characters that chose their own way and defy stereotypes

Yes! Love those characters. Other favorites from Song of Ice and Fire are Ayra Stark and Tyrion Lannister - who equally defy stereotype.

and

Exactly. Don't like whiny characters. LOL!

On the men? I like the crack through the tough exterior, that soft underbelly of vulnerability - which Frenchani nails below, probably because she has the same taste.
