Who is your favourite fictional character from any work whose name (if they only have one) or first name begins with the letter "C"?

Please include the series/work the character is from and why they are your favorite.

Note: Captain/Commander/etc only count if that's a proper name & not just a rank. Captain America/Marvel, Captain N are their proper hero names so they count, but Captain Picard/Kirk do not.

Include the hashtag #FavCharacterAtoZ also, so we can easily group the answers.

Also add the hashtag #FavCharacterC so we can sub-sort the answers too.

Who is your favourite fictional character from any work whose name (if they only have one) or first name begins with the letter "D"?

Please include the series/work the character is from and why they are your favourite.

Include the hashtag #FavCharacterAtoZ also, so we can easily group the answers.

Similar to the rules on "C", Detective/Doctor/etc don't count unless that's a proper name & not a title. (i.e. Detective Chimp & The Doctor count, Detective Lennie Briscoe & Dr. House do not)

Add the hashtag #FavCharacterD to it so there's sub-sorting as well.

@ami_angelwings For E we are coming back to Discworld with Granny (Esmeralda "Esme") Weatherwax. Among the foremost of the leaders the witches of the Ramtops don't have, she is a very powerful witch but she didn't have to be to be my favourite. In keeping with the Discworld theme that magic is best used sparingly Granny often gets her way with a mastery of headology that would make Nate Ford blush, and is in a constant struggle with the temptation to become a 'bad witch'.

A lot of her adventures feature a struggle against the flow of narrative and efforts to force people into shapes that fit a predetermined story (often specific stories that readers from Earth may know well). She also doesn't hold with worshipping gods or demons despite knowing full well that those beings are real as "it only encourages them".

A model of iron will and choosing for oneself who one will be, Granny also often enjoys riding the minds of the various animals of the Kingdom of Lancre—an activity that also plays into her themes as one must take care not to get lost in the animal or else be fit into its shape. During which she often puts out a sign reading "I Aten't Dead" so as not to scare anyone who stumbles upon her apparently lifeless body.

Granny Weatherwax. She's very cool and absolutely terrifying. And I didn't even talk about the coven she is part of or the young witches she mentors over her career.

I think I'm a bit choked up that there won't be any more stories about her or the rest of the Discworld. #FavCharacterAtoZ, #FavCharacterE

@aesmael @ami_angelwings Not unusual for Pratchett, but she’s an amazing character. Got the old very grumpy but is actually very kind trope going.

Her brother is pretty funny too:)

I like how the witches are a force of nature but the wizards are a bunch of nerds :)
