MEME: Most Wanted

[nabooqueen]

Technically it's too late to call this a Christmas wishlist, but OH WELL.

Darrow's Most Wanted list is a constant work in progress, and one which isn't complete at present. This meme is your opportunity to add to it in a more detailed manner.

Comment to this post with the names and canons of characters you would especially like to see in the City. Whether you're simply listing or you're posting extensive essays complete with pictorial evidence (gifs) of why these characters need to be apped, anything goes. The more, the merrier!

Yes, all right, this is entirely selfish, but Darrow needs more Discworld pups. I have no gifs, but I do have some encouragement in the form of canon quotes. Here are my very predictable top three.

Sybil Vimes

She smiled at him. And then it arose and struck Vimes that, in her own special category, she was quite beautiful; this was the category of all the women, in his entire life, who had ever thought he was worth smiling at. She couldn’t do worse, but then, he couldn’t do better. So maybe it balanced out. She wasn’t getting any younger but then, who was? And she had style and money and common-sense and self-assurance and all the things that he didn’t, and she had opened her heart, and if you let her she could engulf you; the woman was a city.

Carrot Ironfoundersson

Some people have inspired whole countries to great deeds because of the power of their vision. And so could he. Not because he dreams about marching hordes, or world domination, or an empire of a thousand years. Just because he thinks that everyone’s really decent underneath and would get along just fine if only they made the effort, and he believes that so strongly it burns like a flame which is bigger than he is. He’s got a dream and we’re all part of it, so that it shapes the world around him. And the weird thing is that no one wants to disappoint him. It’d be like kicking the biggest puppy in the universe. It’s a kind of magic.

Angua von Uberwald

It was hard to be a vegetarian who had to pick bits of meat out of her teeth in the morning. She was definitely on top of it, though. Definitely, she reassured herself. It was Angua’s mind that prowled the night, not a werewolf mind. She was almost entirely sure of that. A werewolf wouldn’t stop at chickens, not by a long way. She shuddered. Who was she kidding? It was easy to be a vegetarian by day, It was preventing yourself becoming a humanitarian at night that took the real effort.

But seriously, GIMME ANYONE AND EVERYONE.
