:: MY FAVOURITE LITTLE GUYS EVERRRR

A dramatis personae of The Characters that float around in my head all of the time...!

Maya Fey
Ace Attorney

Art of Maya Fey from Ace Attorney posting with her back to the viewer, hands interlaced. She is smiling.
Name Maya Fey
Age 18
Occupation Spirit medium, Wright & Co. co-counsel, fast food menace, Steel Samurai fangirl
Quote How do you address a Great Witch...? "Hail to thee, oh magnificent magical one!" Or maybe just: "Wassup, witchy baby?"

Why I like them I knew Maya was going to be an all-star favourite character the second I laid eyes on her. She's so cute and funny and I love what she adds to the cases she's on — her and Phoenix are the duo of all time! Her story's so interesting and compelling (and her family is so scary...) Every time she shows up you know it's going to be a great case.Burger queen of my HEART!
Maya Fey's shocked sprite.

Franziska von Karma
Ace Attorney

Art of Franziska von Karma from Ace Attorney posing with her whip at the ready, smirking confidently.
Name Franziska von Karma
Age 18
Occupation Prosecutorial prodigy, Interpol liaison, repressed horsegirl, foolish fool annihilator, courthouse food critic
Quote A prosecutor who has shamed himself with defeat should crawl into a hole and die!

Why I like them Repressed queen... she's brash and bold and takes no nonsense, but at the same time, she's the world's loneliest 18-year-old. I've constructed an entire haunted house mythos around her for a reason! I think she's really well-written and the arc she got in AA2 was a really fantastic start to her character. I could talk about her forever and ever.

Trucy Wright
Ace Attorney

Trucy Wright from Ace Attorney, posing with her puppet, Mr. Hat.
Name Trucy Wright
Age 15
Occupation Magician extraordinaire, perception user, nice & normal teen girl, nuclear family lover
Quote They always say that, on stage, you should hit the crowd with speed and ferocity!

Why I like them TRUCY YOU ARE SO SCARY! I love how silly she is, but at the same time, how she hides all the sharp and angry parts of herself away for the sake of the act. She contains MULTITUDES! I am very worried about her. AA4 wrote her so well, and while I wish that consideration carried through into the 3D games,I don't mind that much because what her debut game delivers is so meaty. She's so bizarrely unhinged, it's incredible.
Trucy Wright talking with a hand on the brim of her top hat.

Connor
Detroit: Become Human

Art of Connor from Detroit posing with a gun.
Name Connor/RK800
Age Like, 3 (months)
Occupation Detective prototype, feelings-haver, prospective music listener, homewrecker (literal)
Quote(s) [1] I like dogs ^_^ [2] Coming, Lieutenant -_- [3] Sorry, Lieutenant ◔_◔ [4] Adapting to human unpredictability is one of my core features >_^

Why I like them I have a huge soft spot for dorky characters being manipulated by forces outside of their control who then have to rebel against said forces! I also have a huge soft spot for killing machine robots. It doesn't hurt that there's a lot of nostalgia attatched because I've known him since high school... if only his game was good.

Blue Sargent
The Raven Cycle

Blue from the TRC graphic novel, arms crossed and wearing a skeptical expression.
Name Blue Sargent
Age 17
Occupation Weirdgirl supreme, the table everyone wants at Starbucks, hippienaturedruiddaughter, short king
Quote Fate is a very weighty word to throw around before breakfast.

Why I like them Has there EVER been a more spectacular character! She's the template she is the moment (and I was very vindicated when the GN cast her as brown. I ALWAYS KNEW.) Every YA 'manic pixie' has been trying to be Blue Sargent since TRB first dropped,and every one of them has failed. No one will ever have her raw panache ever again so DON'T EVEN TRY. My good friend Jane :-)
Blue, shocked, saying, 'Ah!'.

Dick Gansey
The Raven Cycle

Gansey from the TRC graphic novel standing and wearing a surprised expression.
Name Richard Campbell Gansey III
Age 17
Occupation High school student, dead Welsh king connaisseur, fashion terror, feminist, pet owner
Quote What fresh hell is this?

Why I like them Where to even start. Sweetest young man to ever exist. Endlessly charming. My favourite quirked up white boy. Words cannot explain how much Gansey means to me, which sounds dramatic and overexaggerated, but it's really not. I've attachment onto him like a limpet to a rock. Just like his raven boys. Every part of him, from his manners of speech to his earnestness to the arc he goes through feels tailor-made to make me lose my marbles. My good friend Dick :-)
Gansey snapping his fingers and smiling as he says, 'Owain Glendower!'

Marina Domek
Fear and Hunger: Termina

Art of Marina from Termina's intro screen. She's got one arm behind her back and is wearing a bloody eyepatch over one eye.
Name Marina Domek
Age 18
Occupation Occultist, witnesser of the horrors, butterfly, absolute cutest pie
Quote A practical gift? How nice... Hee hee, you notice the sarcasm in my voice?

Why I like them Honestly, the characters in Termina are pretty weird because they are individuals but their being a vessel for the player is more important. That being said, I'm VERY fond of Marina! I think her story's very interesting and I love when you can get a feel for her personality when she talks. She's also just superduper cute and gives me mother hen aggressions though, to be fair, all the characters do that to me.

Samarie
Fear and Hunger: Termina

Art of Samarie clutching a knife to her chest.
Name Samarie
Age 18
Occupation Dark priest apprentice, ninth circle kid, lonely caterpillar waiting to shed its skin, professional yandere
Quote WHAT!? WHO ARE YOU CALLING CRAZY?

Why I like them Samarie occupies maybe 3% of Termina's total runtime so really, I don't have an excuse. I think Samarie's cute and I love her "relationship" to Marina (the toxic yuri of it all...) What dialogue she gets is really fun. I'm very fond of her :-) because I luv creepy crazy magical girls. I love her dearly even if she's hardly in the game. She compels me! Consider me compelled!

Gandalf
The Lord of the Rings

Art of Gandalf smoking his pipe and walking, beard blowing in the wind.
Name Gandalf + 1000 others
Age 25,000+
Occupation Monochrome wizard, halfling leaf admirer, creator of troubles and causer of mischief, anti-retirement propagandizer
Quote Be silent. Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I did not pass through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm.

Why I like them Listen. OK? Sometimes what you need in your life is to idolize an awesome old wizard, and that's exactly what I've been doing for the better part of mine.

I don't have to explain this one further. Like, it's literally Gandalf.

The Baudelaire siblings
A Series of Unfortunate Events

The Baudelaire siblings as shown on the cover of The Bad Beginning.
Name Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire
Age 14, 12, and 1
Occupation Cake sniffing orphans, inventor, reader, biter, very fearful darlings
Quote They say in every library there is a single book that can answer the question that burns like a fire in the mind.

Why I like them These three were, like, the genesis of all other characters I grew to adore. Being a kid is so scary and discombobluating and wonderful and weird, and ASoUE/the Beaudelaires were my window out from the world of childhood. I never felt talked down to - I felt like my fears were legitimate - and I felt brave seeing them be brave. I spent my childhood STRESSED for these three.
