1. What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her.
2. Is he/she important to the general plot?
3. Can you relate to this character at all? Does he/she grip you emotionally?
4. How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
5. Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by his/her relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
6. Is there anything about the character you would change?
7. If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how would you see yourself interacting with him/her? Would you get along well? Fall in love with him/her? Dislike? Have a friendly rivalry?
8. Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?

Geillis from Outlander or Balthazar from SPN :)

Geillis-- This will be based on what I recall of her mainly from the books and, because it's been a while since I've read the earlier books, this could be rather brief.

1. What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her.
I like her well enough.

2. Is he/she important to the general plot?
In the early books, she has a part to play in explaining the time-travel through the stones but overall, I would say no.

3. Can you relate to this character at all? Does he/she grip you emotionally?
Not really. She's very much a femme-fatale, not above using her body and sex to get what she wants. The fact that I barely remember her means she didn't have a big impact on me.

4. How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
It seems to be very open and welcoming. From the couple of LJ comms I'm following they are especially good to people who have only seen the few eps of the TV show and be very careful not to spoil upcoming eps and the books.

5. Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by his/her relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
Nope.

6. Is there anything about the character you would change?
At this time, no. I would have to re-read the books she's in to see if there is anything worth changing.

7. If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how would you see yourself interacting with him/her? Would you get along well? Fall in love with him/her? Dislike? Have a friendly rivalry?

Probably not be good friends but I could see myself wanting to talk to her about the potions and herbs she uses.

8. Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
No.

9. Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about this character (if you dislike) to someone new to fandom?
Neither really as she is such a minor character in an enormous story with so many other, more important and interesting characters

Interesting! Let's see if the screen version can make her noteworthy for you ;)

Balthazar

1. What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her.
Loved him. Very sexy and cheeky and so not what angels are supposed to be, even in the SPN 'verse.

2. Is he/she important to the general plot?
No but for the few eps he was in, then yes he was central, usually by screwing things up that the boys then had to fix.

3. Can you relate to this character at all? Does he/she grip you emotionally?
I can relate to his love of enjoying all the good things in life, to not worrying about the consequences and just do whatever the hell he wants. And yet, he wasn't selfish. When Cas or the boys were in trouble he did what he could to help even when it put himself in danger. So I relate also to his loyalty and concern for his friends and those he loves.

4. How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
This fandom is my life, it seems. I love it. Have made so many wonderful, life-long friends online and in RL. It's completely crazy and over-the-top with enough occasional wankery to keep things really exciting. Seems like barely a week goes by without some sort of controversy between different factions and yet when we need to pull together to win People Choice awards or buying t-shirts to support the actors charities and then buying more for complete strangers who can't afford them we all work as one amazing team. We truly are a Family and one that I am immensely proud to be a part of.

5. Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by his/her relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
Yes!!! Souless!Sam. Would have loved to have seen what purpose Balthazar would have used Sam for after giving him the soul rejection spell. I think sex would have certainly been involved, super dirty, super kinky sex that Souless!Sam would have embraced as eagerly as he did hookers and random bathroom ravishings.
Other than that, I think it would have great for Sam to have his own angel to confide in and bond with, like Dean has with Cas.


6. Is there anything about the character you would change?
Yes!!!! That he wasn't dead. Would love it if they could bring him back somehow, even if it's just 1 episode. Another wonderful character killed way too soon, especially since so many of the current or recent angels are so boring and lacking in personality

7. If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how would you see yourself interacting with him/her? Would you get along well? Fall in love with him/her? Dislike? Have a friendly rivalry?

Hell yeah. Just put us in a room with lots of sexy, sexy guys and girls and lots of alcohol. I would insist we do that ménage-a-what's French for 12?? thing he mentioned in one ep, while drinking champagne out of Sam's belly button. We'd get along like a house on fire, I think.

8. Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites? Yes, certainly top 10 and probably top 5 if it's SPN only. Love him to bits.

9. Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about this character (if you dislike) to someone new to fandom?
Oh, definitely. However, I would warn folk not to get too attached given how short his run on the show. I hate falling in love with characters only to have them killed off.

[supernutjapan.livejournal.com]

Thank you for your awesome answers :D He was totally killed off way too soon. But what a presence!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Damn, I was gonna ask that! LOL!
