I was REALLY considering going off the board for my #FavCharacterE & saying Elizabeth Shelby from Star Trek: TNG's Best of Both Worlds even though she only showed up in 2 episodes (& technically never had a canonical first name until ST: Picard) & then Peter David turned her into his Gary Stu's waifu which sucked.

But I think I'll go with my planned pick even if it's chalk (the obvious/frontrunner choice, for those that don't know what "chalk" means).

Éowyn from The Lord of the Rings. She really only has that one big moment, but what a moment.

"But no living man am I! You are looking upon a woman. Eowyn am I, Eomund's daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him."

@ami_angelwings my #FavCharacterE is Emil from the Nier series, he's just such a tragic character but I don't think that tragic-ness DEFINES him so much as it informs him? He's just a lost boy thrust into a world that never cared for him, and he finds so much purpose surrounding himself with people that see him for who he is and there's a sincerity to that that's really powerful. Not to mention that he's queer character that has to reckon with an unrequited attraction that adds onto the fact that it feels like the world was never on his side, but even with nothing going his way he still fights and pushes on because he has his little family.

I dunno, I think that's beautiful

@ami_angelwings Eilonwy, from "The Chronicles of Prydain", by Lloyd Alexander, because she is a princess, an enchantress, and she has the most lovely way of speaking. She is brave (she is the one who in fact rescues Taran of Caer Dallben, not the other way around) and adventurous.

Also, Elspeth, from "The Heralds of Valdemar" series by Mercedes Lackey, because she is a princess, a mage, and she is brave and adventurous (this might be a pattern).

@ami_angelwings

Eithan Arelius from the Cradle series. Mysterious and infuriating, annoying but with unexpected depth. Doesn't seem to take anything seriously, but the times he lets his humanity show reveal what his surface character is hiding.

@ami_angelwings Detective Ema Skye (Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney) is a grumpy, sour, moody bitch. Unless! you ask her about her forensic gear. If you can give her a forensic test to do she'll light up like a supernova and tell you all about her new science device while she does the test – or maybe even teach you how to do it. Ema Skye lives for forensic science, and nothing brightens her day more than an unexplained splotch of smeared blood.

And I think that's hot.
