Friday Fannish 5: Teachers and mentors
Today's Fannish5: Who are your five favorite fictional teachers or mentors?
There were other canon characters I could have put in here, but if they weren't shown teaching in canon, I left them out.
- Giles, for all the times he didn't really know what to say to his Slayer but he tried anyway (BtVS)
- Mr. Miyagi, for all his common sense. ("Hey, could you break that tree in half?" "Don't know. Never been attacked by tree.") (Karate Kid)
- Rebecca, for teaching Amanda she could be more than a thief, and she damn well could take on men and win (HL)
- Ramirez, for dumping Connor out of the boat and trying to keep him from breaking his heart (HL)
- Deth, the High One's Harpist, for everything he taught all the land rulers and land heirs, but even more for letting them remind him about love and trust (Riddle-Master trilogy)
