dividedbyblueThree weeks for Dreamwidth: Name five characters from five different fandoms that you like
Seven of Nine (Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Voyager)
An intriguing character who joined Star Trek: Voyager mid-show. She’s a rescued Borg, whose journey to individuality continues throughout the remaining Star Trek: Voyager seasons. She’s reintroduced in Star Trek: Picard, where you find out what happened to her after Voyager came home. She’s strong, extremely intelligent, and charismatic. I loved her journey in Voyager and the backstory they gave her in Picard. I wish they did some more with her in that series, however, though I like how they ended the series for her.
Morrigan (Dragon Age: Origins)
The 'witch of the wild’, as she is called. She’s beautiful, powerful, and lovely sarcastic towards her companions throughout the whole story. I loved her character so much while playing the game. I know she’s also featured in other Dragon Age titles, but I haven’t come across her yet. I’ve only completed Dragon Age: Origins, and played just a part of DA2.
Sara Lance (Legends of Tomorrow, Arrow)
She almost drowned when a yacht she was on sank, but was picked up by members of the League of Assassins to become one of them. She cheated death several times, and had a great story arc in Arrow, and also -partly, in my opinion - in Legends of Tomorrow. I say partly because a lot of her character is left unexplored in the later seasons and they made a weird decision in season six that I really hated They killed her on a random alien planet and replaced her with a clone version of herself, that was half alien. Then everyone acted as if the clone and the Sara that died were the same person.
Alti (Xena: Warrior Princess)
I wanted to include a character from Xena that was not one of the leading ladies and I was hesitating between Callisto and Alti. Both are great villains, Callisto’s psychology and past are better explained than Alti’s, but in the end I choose Alti because I just loved the character when I was young and watched the series for the first time. Alti is an evil shaman: alluring, ruthless, power-driven, and wants to pull Xena to the dark side. But she’s also very charismatic, thanks to the wonderful interpretation by Claire Stansfield. I loved every scene with her in it.
Éowyn (The Lord of the Rings)
One of the few powerful female characters in the Lord of the Rings saga. She wants to escape the life she has, but finds herself blocked from possibilities again and again, till she dresses up as a soldier and takes matters into her own hands and goes away to fight the war. She also suffers from her unrequited love for Aragorn, which is a sad part of her story. I read the books, and in that, she was described as someone who grew older with life passing her by, and was surrounded by an air of sadness. Though her story ends more happily in the books.
