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

Pick any character from the Harry Potter, BTVS/Angel, Doctor Who/Torchwood, White Collar, or Misfits universes and I'll answer the following questions:1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her ( Read more... )

Pansy Parkinson :)

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 ( ... )

Nice answers :) I confess I began to like Pansy thanks to a friend of mine, because Pansy was her favourite character and I thought I could try to figure why :) Nowadays I like Pansy quite a lot.

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).

:D That's a cool reason!

Yeah, I think it's fair enough to have mixed feelings about that, heh. :D

Steal it! It's fun. And self-indulgent.

Yeah, can be a good reason... though I'm currently hating the fact that another friend is making me like Obi-Wan, from Star Wars. LOL. Maybe it has more to do with the fact that I play him in our RP, though :P
