@ami_angelwings Natsuki Subaru from Re:Zero is my #FavCharacterS (familial names vs given names in japanese have continued to make these questions hard for me as a westerner i always get which way people stylize them backwards but I digress)
There's something compelling to me about a story from the perspective of a fundamentally flawed person that is effectively either given the option to change or continue to villify the people around them? He's a stereotype in a genre ridden with them, but he examines the kind of person that wants to end up isekai'd into another world and the way that archetype gets prodded repeatedly and results in him growing as a person is just a really compelling story, and I find his growth to be really comprehensive and naturalistic in a way I don't usually see
@ami_angelwings #FavCharacterS for time travel must be Sam Beckett, the original leaper from Quantum Leap. (Sorry Suzuha Amane, we literally just had a Steins;Gate character.)
A show so good they brought it back over 25 years later. Oh boy. #FavCharacterAtoZ
The older I get, the more respect I have for Superman. But I've known my boy Peter for as long as I could read. So of course #FavCharacterS is Spider-Man. And don't you forget the hyphen.
Beat him up, destroy his hopes, no matter, with great power must also come great responsibility, and so Spidey always rises up and cracks a joke to hide the pain, Parker luck be damned.
@ami_angelwings Gotta be Superman for me, yeah? He's an icon, a legend, a modern myth, and just an all-around good guy

The ronin who popularized one of the most iconic archtypes in media today, the badass just stumbles into trouble and kills their way out of it. Tashiro Mifune really was one of the all time greats.
@ami_angelwings #FavCharacterS: Sorawo Kamikoshi from Otherside Picnic. She may seem like your standard "Socially Awkward Protagonist" at first, but she's more than that: she actually kind of sucks.
She's antisocial and awkward to the point that her inner monologue is inevitably "ugh, this sounds like a pain" when she can't escape being considerate to her friends and the people around her.
She can be pretty callous, especially towards strangers and in especially traumatic situations, but mostly for good reasons.
She's not terrible, she's just moderately awful. I love her.
She's been trying her best, but she still struggles to express herself and her needs, and her awkwardness still results in friction with the other characters.
I like that... I don't know how to say it... the series doesn't just make her social issues a cute affectation, and also doesn't just trot them out for eye-rolling romantic misunderstandings and drama. It's just an element of her life that produces bigger or smaller difficulties.
@ami_angelwings So many! Samwise Gamgee, Sarah Connor, Sheev Palpatine, Satsuki Kusakabe, Sam (Freelance Police), San (a.k.a. Princess Mononoke), Saul Goodman, Saw Gerrera, and I'm sure I'm forgetting many more.
But I'm going with Sonic The Hedgehog, who more than any other represents the pure joy of childhood gaming in my memory, even if I haven't kept up with him in adulthood.
