Character ID/Description Meme

[dlgood]

Doing a short version of this meme, which I might likely finish answering. Most recently from likeadeuce.

Name a fictional character that I'm familiar with (feel free range far and wide), and I'll tell you:

1. My favourite thing about that character.
2. My least favorite thing about that character.
3. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
4. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
5. Something I've made in my head up about that character.

And yes, I still haven't finished the Two Random Characters Crossover and Have Dialog meme, because I fail at writing dialog between Dexter Morgan and Jim Profit. Seriously. It's been a month, and I still haven't gotten past the part where they're just sitting there, looking in the other's general direction, too wrapped up in their own inner monologues to actually speak for more than 5 seconds.

1. Her loyalty. Particularly now that she's gotten much better at judging who to be loyal to than she was early in her run as a character. I don't know that you could trust her not to be a bull in a china shop, but you can trust her to have your back. Also, her wicked sense of humor and general zestiness...


2. For lengthy stretches, her lack of sensitivity and sensibility. Faith had poor judgment, and almost no confidence in her decisionmaking - and thus behaves thoughlessly and is prone to follow whomever would order her with the most unwavering purpose. Even as she's gotten more confident and mature, I think she's still someone who is going to unwittingly step on toes because of her impulsive nature.


3. As mentioned below, I liked the idea of Gunn/Faith a lot.


4. I think Faith is someone who could do well relating to a lot of people, because she doesn't have high expectations to meet - (especially now as she's starting to believe she can have her expectations met - which I think she didn't way back when...). I've gone more on the comedic side, and funniest things for Faith involve stories where Faith must seduce someone to infiltrate their organization. For example, Faith must seduce Kenneth the Page as part of a plan to take down the Sheinhardt Wig Corporation. In a more serious verse, she'd have to be dating somebody awesome. I'll have to think more about it.


5. Certainly, I've shared my opinion that Faith very much the embodiment of a typical Red Sox fan. But only recently started rooting for the Patriots when they suddenly came back into vogue again. And at this point, would have no qualms whatsover breaking up Giselle and Tom Brady, but would also go in for a threesome with him if they were up for that. OTOH, she kind of has a recurring fantasy of running into Derek Jeter and getting all flirty, just so she can reject him. Because he's a Yankee.

Coolness. Faith infiltrating 30 Rock is win.

Have you followed the Season 8 comics at all? I'm not over the moon about them, but you might like the Faith story that should be coming out in paperback soon. (And soon apparently means June? What the hell, marketing department. Anyway.

I hadn't really been following the S8 comics. Presumably, I will let my FLIST summarize when it comes around...

As to... I was mentally cataloging what how some characters would be super-wacky fits on various TV shows. I think Cordy would be a fit on 30 Rock too, except she's dead now...

Actually, given the level of zaniness, you could pretty much imagine any number of ways a character runs into that show.

I mention it because it involves Faith flirting/infiltrating. With an evil Slayer. And then she runs off with Giles. It's kind of great.

Ah. Neat. But there is no Jack Donaghy. Or Jonathan? Heh.

Actually, I'm sure it will be cool. At some point, I will follow up. Maybe during the summer lull between Basketball and Football starting back up.
