Character meme

[icepixie]

Since my thesis only gave me two paragraphs before stopping communication, have a meme, originally from spleeny:

1) Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands [fannish etc.] that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.
2) Have your f-list guess your favourite character/member from each item.
3) When someone guesses correctly, strikethrough the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.

Some of these should be blindingly obvious for anyone who's read my journal ever. Others have multiple correct answers.

1. Northern Exposure
2. due South Benton Fraser (magsyb)
3. Castle Kate Beckett and Richard Castle (magsyb)
4. Slings & Arrows Geoffrey Tennant and Anna Conroy (munditia)
5. Babylon 5 Susan Ivanova (magsyb)
6. Corner Gas
7. Doctor Who (entire franchise) Charley Pollard (magsyb)
8. Deep Space 9
9. Battlestar Galactica Laura Roslin (munditia)
10. Vorkosigan series Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan (munditia)
11. Farscape John Crichton and Aeryn Sun (spleeny)
12. Earth 2 Julia Heller (rensong)
13. The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne Rebecca Fogg (rensong)
14. Crusade
15. Wonderfalls Jaye Tyler (spleeny)
16. SG-1
17. Atlantis Elizabeth Weir (spleeny) [There's still one more possibility for sharing the number one spot, if anyone cares to guess.]
18. Harry Potter Hermione Granger (spleeny)
19. Cupid Claire Allen (alethialia)
20. Pushing Daisies Aunt Lily (magsyb)

I mean seriously.. do you KNOW how many companions there are/were? I mean seriously!! Male or female? Human or alien? Did they go off to do a spin off series? Let's try and narrow this down a bit bit more.. ;)

Heh heh. Okay, more hints: She's human, and she's a she. No spinoffs that I know of. Oh, and she's had adventures with more than one version of the Doctor. (And Sarah Jane is probably my...hmmm..second or third favorite. After the character in first place, there's kind of a jumble of favorites, including one version of the Doctor.)

20. The only other abrasive character I can think of is Aunt Lily.. so Aunt Lily.. it has to be!! Final answer!

Aunt Lily it is! I have a weakness for snarky older ladies with guns and eyepatches.

That would leave Polly, Tegan, and Rose.. I'm gonna knock Rose off the list since this is obviously NOT an obvious choice... and I'm going to go with Tegan simply because you tend to favor the 4th and 5th doctor... and hey she traveled with both versions... so yeah.. IT HAS to be Tegan!

Please tell me I finally got it right...

Tegan is a very good guess, and I do like her a lot, but NO! You're not thinking nearly obscure enough.

I have two icons of her. Her name is also in two of my tags. One of the Doctors she travels with (and who is also my favorite) has a Liverpuddlian accent.

*headdesk* Charley... *whimpers*... it has to be Charley....

This game is evil... and that was sooooo not easy... I was trying not cheat... but then you went and gave me the cheat signals... and I had to... and even then it was by process of elimination... le sigh... *goes off mumbling about evil game* ;)

Indeed it is Charley! I told you it was obscure. :D Honestly, I figured only about three people on my flist might get it, and those people all knew me back when I was writing Charley fic in 2006.
