Nabbed this off ginger_veela, since I share her need for a distraction.

I like her! She's a little mean to Hermione at times, she's involved with the Skeeter scam in GoF, she cares for Draco a lot and maybe loves him - we don't see much of her, and what we do see isn't all great, but it's kind of classic-teenager-cute. And I love her in DH. I think her standing up and saying "let's send Potter out there" is great. She has no reason to think Harry can defeat Voldemort, which means to her, it's a choice between sending Harry out there so he dies, or keeping Harry there until Voldemort invades and Harry dies along with everyone else. I actually think she makes the moral judgement although I don't judge the others - they love Harry, or they want to believe he can save them. And she does it publically, even though the rest of the school aims their wands at her. GOOD FOR YOU, PANSY.
2) Is he/she important to the general plot?Nope. She's one of Draco's crowd, a Slytherin female leader, a voice against Harry - she has her ( ... )

I think you capture quite well Pansy's motivations and train of thought in her Great Hall moment in DH, though I can't help having mixed feelings about her there.
But my favourite is Pansy/Ron. It's a hot pairing and they're both used to being second-best but they could be each other's first choices, and I can see them being far more long-term compatible than Ron/Hermione.
Fandom wise, I noticed that I normally tend to write Pansy/Hermione, but I also love a good Ron/Pansy. I agree with you that they'd be more compatible than Ron/Hermione. I can easily see Ron and Hermione drifting apart after the war, once the storm settles into a normal calm.

I might try to steal this meme, though... I'm kinda lacking motivation after the response to my last one (for which I was so curious).

Yeah, I think it's fair enough to have mixed feelings about that, heh. :D
Steal it! It's fun. And self-indulgent.

I really like him :D He always feels inferior, and the plot seems to agree with him, which is always endearing. I hate that when he gets made prefect, his celebratory dinner is full of people assuring Harry that it's cooler not be one, and that when he gets to be the Quidditch hero neither of his best friends are at the match. He's funny and he tries hard, and he leaves and returns and therefore actually has a bit of a character arc in DH. I love that with Quidditch he's not a great natural talent like Harry or Ginny; he has to train and work for it. Also, he often points it out when things are stupid. I like that.

Funny, loyal, BAMF, love's bitch. He has a massive inferiority complex and identity crises everywhere and those things are v likely to make me love. I like that he's both a poet and a fighter, unashamedly submissive (with a bit of switch), and that he takes care of Dawn because he promised Buffy. Also, it makes my heart hurt that the Scoobies didn't support him as he tried to get better. Morally or otherwise. His redemption arc is awesome.
His ability to regenerate himself and adapt in response to those around him is fascinating and great too.
2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
HOW ABOUT YES.
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Does he/she grip you emotionally?
He does grip me emotionally, although, you know, less so than some of the fandom because I don't love him with every cell of my body :)

Like it a lot, and love the source material madly.

I still largely react the way I did at fourteen, though, which is before I knew I was bi: "move your naked torso out of the way, Marsters, I'm trying to look at Buffy's hair."

I like him a lot! I like that he's clever and cultured and doesn't fall into the Thick Copper cliche; I like that he loves his wife and puts a lot of work into their marriage; I like that he believes in the rules, although his breaking and bending of them is not so great. I love that he wants to help Neal break out of the steal-get-caught-get-jailed-or-shot cycle and that he puts all this work in, and that he's never jealous of what Neal can do :D
2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Obviously
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Does he/she grip you emotionally?
He grips me emotionally, most powerfully when it comes to his relationship with El, but I don't relate to him at all :)
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
It's new, but it's a lot of fun - both fandom and source material :)
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by his/her relationship ( ... )

I like her; she's introduced as a bookworm, and younger sister to the Slayer. Her sister really is more special, and that sucks. She is totally messed up all through series six and nobody realises except Giles and Tara, who both leave (and Tara has to, after what Willow does). Everybody leaves her! :( I like how she develops: from the girl with a crush on Spike, utterly intrigued by him, to the girl who refuses to be friends with someone who tried to rape her sister. From the girl who feels perpetually left out and incompetent to the Watcher-in-training and HBIC of s7. She deals far more elegantly than Xander with being dismissed by the narrative.

She's the McGuffin in s5, but never beyond that.
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Does he/she grip you emotionally?
I definitely feel for her a lot, even if I don't relate to her exactly.
