30 Day Character Meme - Day 26 (Kaleido Star) ... And another meme

[heavenly_pearl]

26. Character you wouldn’t mind having as your boss



Cathy Taymor

I kind of wish this question asked which character you WOULDN'T want as your boss, 'cause I could probably write a whole essay about how terrible a boss Kalos is. *laughs* But answering the actual question, I guess I'll go with Cathy, the director of Layla's off-Broadway play who ends up following Layla back to Kaleido Stage and becoming Mia's mentor. (Cathy's the one with the magenta hair. That's Mia she's terrifying.) Yeah, Cathy is demanding and kinda scary sometimes, but unlike Kalos, who would rather sit back and let his employees figure things out on their own, Cathy is at least willing to help people to get the results she wants. She actually LEADS.


27. Character you wouldn’t want to run into in a dark alley
28. Character you’d want personified into a dog
29. Character you’d want personified into a cat
30. Character you’d want to cosplay as


And this little meme has been traveling around my FL lately. This particular version is dark_branwen 's, because I also have too many fandoms to limit the list only to fifteen. I'm also sticking to anime/manga only.

List fifteen twenty-five (I have too many fandoms) of your favorite characters from different fandoms, and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, if they're so inclined.

(Order is totally random)

1. Shigure Sohma (Fruits Basket)
2. Rue (Princess Tutu)
3. Yuri Killian (Kaleido Star)
4. Helios/Pegasus (Sailor Moon)
5. Yuko Ichihara (xxxHolic/Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle)
6. Ran Kotobuki (SuperGALS)
7. George (Paradise Kiss)
8. Sora Naegino (Kaleido Star)
9. Gourry Gabriev (Slayers)
10. Yurika Doujima (Witch Hunter Robin)
11. Harima Kenji (School Rumble)
12. Touya Kinomoto (Card Captor Sakura)
13. Haruka Shitow (Rah-Xephon)
14. Touta Matsuda (Death Note)
15. Tooya (Ayashi no Ceres)
16. Nicholas D. Wolfwood (Trigun)
17. Hotohori (Fushigi Yugi)
18. Sagara Sousuke (from Full Metal Panic)
19. Sailor Pluto (Sailor Moon)
20. Balsa (Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit)
21. William Jones (Emma)
22. Yasushi (Yasu) Takagi (NANA)
23. Kyoya Ootori (Ouran High School Host Club)
24. Tazusa Sakurano (Ginban Kaleidoscope)
25. Junko Saotome (NANA)

Argh, it was hard to narrow it down to even twenty-five! I almost decided to do thirty so I could list Light (Death Note), Kaho Mizuki (CCS), Takumi Ichinose (NANA), Hatori Sohma (Fruits Basket), and Michiru Kaioh (Sailor Moon), but all those fandoms were already represented at least once on the list... Well, I guess I ended up listing them anyway, didn't I? *laughs* Just not officially.

Anyone see any patterns?

Some excellent choices. I was noticing the ones I know all have dark hair, except Gourry. But that can't be the only thing. Sly sense of humor maybe? But some are a little more overt with that, and some are more stoic. Hmmm....

Good observations! Yeah, there are a lot of dark-haired characters on the list -- at least about half. (Possibly more, depending on the more "unusual" hair colors.) And I do have a fondness for both funny comic relief characters and stoic straight men.
