Note: for the next three questions I'll be answering this in terms of the series I write fanfic for, as opposed to characters in my own stories.
The easier answer would be Rukia from Bleach, but as you all know she's my favourite character to write, so that would be just repeating myself. Instead I'll talk about Harry Potter and how he captured the imagination of myself (and plenty of my friends).
At first, I didn't want to read the Harry Potter series - I thought it was overhyped. But then my parents borrowed the books and I thought oh well, since it's in the house I may as well give it a try. I nearly threw the first book out after the first chapter - I was quite honestly bored by all the nattering about The Boy Who Lived. (This proved to be the tone in the later books but I was too far gone to care. XD) And then we switched to Cinderella-Harry and I was hooked.
Why is the Harry Potter of the first few books my favourite protangonist? Well, it's because he's not exactly your typical hero. He's smarter than most heroes, though not exactly studious - that's why we have Hermione, but he does learn spells that are useful to him, and keeps them in mind. (This is before he became the one trick pony. EXPELLIARMUS!) He doesn't get everything he wants - he still has to return to the Dursleys at the end of the yeare. He's got a little deviousness in him - SLYTHERIN! (And I still hate JK for not exploiting that. Sigh.)
Above all, in the first few books, he's got Potential. He's The Boy Who Lived - he could do a lot of world-sweeping, if he really put his mind into it. He's Tom Riddle gone good. He doesn't have to restrict himself to just killing Voldemort. Unfortunately, he winds up too much a Dumbledore man to do anything different (dammit!) but as far as fic potential goes - GOLDMINE!
Too bad I don't write more HP fanfic, other than the stories for my friends. =)
Rest of the Questions:
18. Favorite antagonist and why!
19. Favorite minor that decided to shove himself into the spotlight and why!
20. What are your favorite character interactions to write?
21. Do any of your characters have children? How well do you write them?
22. Tell us about one scene between your characters that you've never written or told anyone about before! Serious or not.
23. How long does it usually take you to complete an entire story—from planning to writing to posting (if you post your work)?
24. How willing are you to kill your characters if the plot so demands it? What's the most interesting way you've killed someone?
25. Do any of your characters have pets? Tell us about them.
26. Let's talk art! Do you draw your characters? Do others draw them? Pick one of your OCs and post your favorite picture of him!
27. Along similar lines, do appearances play a big role in your stories? Tell us about them, or if not, how you go about designing your characters.
28. Have you ever written a character with physical or mental disabilities? Describe them, and if there's nothing major to speak of, tell us a few smaller ones.
29. How often do you think about writing? Ever come across something IRL that reminds you of your story/characters?
30. Final question! Tag someone! And tell us what you like about that person as a writer and/or about one of his/her characters!
