My lymph nodes are so swollen that it hurts to lift my chin or move my neck. If it's not one thing, it's another lately. I'm fairly sure this is just another sinus cold, so I'm not all that worried, but I hate losing my sense of smell. Not because of smell itself, but because of how it screws with my sense of taste. I lose all will to eat once I ( Read more... )

Re: *strokes chin malevolently* Multiple Characters, you say? ivy_chan July 15 2009, 03:57:42 UTC
1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.

Riza is descended from the almighty well of stoicism and loyalty from which all stoic, awesome, sharpshooting second in command types come from. She is pure and unadulterated love, and she's good with puppies. (Potty training with guns. So hardcore!)

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?

She's an important supporting character. Her presence is fairly crucial for Roy: she gave him the secret of his alchemy, she supports him and maintains his morality, and together they angst about the Ishbalan war in which they slaughtered an innocent culture.

3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?

I can't relate to her, but she does grip me emotionally when she is thrown into a state of fear and anxiety over what new fatal situation Roy has gotten himself into this time.

4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?

Like it, love it, want more of it.

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

...Do I have to answer this one again? I ship Roy/Riza! See Roy response for details. XD

6) Is there anything about the character you would change?

I'd make her more of a main character and mover-and-shaker. The manga is really good to its ladies, but doesn't allow them main character spotlight like it does for the guys.

7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)

I would want to BE her.

8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?

Nope. I think that if FMA was on my big fandoms list, she would, but since it's one of my 'awesome manga, no interest to write for it' fandoms, none of the characters are my all time faves. I'd have to want to write them for that.

9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?

I would hype her like no one's business. It's not often you get a character like her in any medium, much less an anime one.

10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?

Happily, yes. In the context of Roy/Riza.
