Original question by: @JoMiran@lemmy.ml
Have you ever read a novel, comic, manga, watched a movie, play, TV show etc., and you found yourself invested in a side character? Ever cared for and felt more intrigued by that side character than the mains? If so, what character was it and what are some.things that make you so interested in them?
Megan from Bridesmaids totally stole every scene she was in for me. Such a fun chaotic character.
Not sure if this counts but Elizabeth from Bioshock Inifite was such a better and more interesting character than Booker. She’s not playable so I figure she’s a side character even if the entire plot of the game revolves around her.
Also not sure if it counts but Toph from Avatar the Last Airbender is one of my favorite characters in any medium. She’s not introduced until partway through season 2 (why she may count) but is part of the core group of main characters (why she might not count).
Ok, Toph is just one of the best characters in fiction, she’s fantastic! And yeah, that totally counts.
