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

1) Bobby "Iceman" Drake, X-men
2) Gwen Cooper, Torchwood
3) Annie Sawyer, Being Human (UK)*
4) Michael Westen, Burn Notice*
5) Burton "Gus" Guster, Psych*
6) Light Yagami, Death Note
7) Winry Rockbell, Fullmetal Alchemist
8) Gohan Son, Dragonball Z
9) Vash the Stampede, Trigun
10) Uryū Ishida, Bleach
11) Rick Castle, Castle
12) Naruto Uzumaki, Naruto*
13) Raylan Givens, Justified*
14) Abigail Brand, Marvelverse
15) Hagi, Blood +


I had no idea what the common denominator was (other than AWESOME) for a bit. Then I decided that one of the things that jumped out at me was loyalty. I have a thing for characters who do stuff because their friends are doing it and need help.

The ones up there with astricks are ones where I had a really hard time choosing a character. In fact, in all of those, there are other characters that would be in my favorites list and may displace some of the top 15 if I weren't limited to one per fandom. And I don't care that Bobby Drake and Abigail Brand are both Marvel. I heart them both so much it hurts. And they share Hank in common, so... *g*

I also have a thing for the slightly psychotic characters, as can be seen from this list. LOL. Oh well.

I'm only really familiar with the first three on your list-but they struck me as the innocent. Often times the unknowledgable stand-in for the audience.

Of the 3 Annie's the nicest "monster" on Being Human, Bobby is often depicted as "the kid" of the group and Gwen was most definitly there to help the audience figure out what was going on.

Now you really made me want fic where Winry hangs out with Agent Brand.

you seem to like characters who are underestimated but totally badass (based on iceman, Raylan, gus, castle and mike weston)

Naruto and Vash the Stampede also fit that pattern.
