Princess Diana of Themyscira, Paradise Island

It couldn't be anyone else. The inspiration for my first tattoo. I could not tell you what my first exposure to the character was, why I already loved her before picking up my first Wonder Woman comic (2006's WONDER WOMAN No. 1). She is like something supernatural in my life, an inspiring presence that has always been there and always will be.

@ami_angelwings Delenn from Babylon 5, who I've found extremely relatable for a whole bunch of complicated and very personal reasons that are difficult to explain. But also, she kicks ass and that's easy to explain

Also I just saw on her Wikipedia page that they were originally considering making the character a trans woman?! :O

This both explains why she's so damn relatable and yet also feels like a missed opportunity 😭 #FavCharacterD

@ami_angelwings My #FavCharacterD is Deku from MHA. There's something about a vulnerable boy that grows through his fear and inability into someone deeply capable and strong that never forgets what it feels like to feel sad and alone, and reaches out to everyone that I find really compelling.

So many other characters like him are Good™ for little stated reason, but Deku really explores that archetype in a way I find it hard to not be moved by.

D is Diane Nguyen from Bojack Horseman. Voice-actor casting aside (she does an amazing job regardless), I've never felt more seen as a mixed race second generation immigrant. Her stubborn sense of justice, even to the detriment of her relationships, resonates hugely with me too. And the depressive episodes...well, fuck.

For D I will have to go with Don Wei from Oban Star-Racers. He's the father of the protagonist, Eva, and to say their relationship is strained would be a massive understatement. Usually I dislike stories about making amends with shitty parents because they tend to excuse treating children terribly... but Oban Star-Racers is actually great and seeing their relationship develop is super satisfying.

Basically, Eva's mother (Don's wife) died and Don was so depressed that he couldn't take care of Eva anymore and sent her off to boarding school. He never even called her on the phone or anything. Years later, Eva gets tired of this so she runs away from school and tries to meet him, but when she does, he doesn't recognize her because it's been so long. She feels intimidated so she makes up a fake identity and becomes a member of his racing team. They butt heads all the time because Don is kind of a jerk and also completely clueless he's interacting with his long lost daughter. I won't spoil how it ends, but it's really good! One of my favorite cartoons.

What can the harvest hope for, if not the care of the reaper man?

#FavCharacterAtoZ For "D".

Well, still picking characters who time travel, we'll have to go with The Doctor.

You know, the one in the picture below.

Heh. Heh heh.

D

He's a pretty sympathetic anti-hero, and yoshitaka amano's artwork is amazing.
