Peaches!
19. Favorite minor that decided to shove himself into the spotlight and why!
Definitely Peaches. She started out as just a work friend for Leota, because I felt we needed to see her outside of her family and Corr and his team. She just ought to have friends - it always bothers me when characters on a show are only friends with the other characters, when they don't have outside connections. So that's what Peaches was, just a consistent character to be in hospital scenes with Leota, and for her to mention as part of a social life. Over time, she developed and grew more vocal and now she's one of my favorites.
She's also a good example of character detail. I have all this backstory, personality traits, likes and dislikes for a character that may not ever make it into the show, but I feel a lot better knowing them. Peaches' last name is Henderson, although everyone calls her by her first name. She's from Arkansas, and she originally wanted to be a vet, but not being able to fully communicate with an animal frustrated her. So she's a people doctor, although I'm not sure what her discipline is. She likes to work with the elderly and is close to her grandfather. She still loves animals, and the zoo is one of her favorite things about St. Louis, along with The Hill, because she loves Italian food, and all the casinos. She likes gambling, golf, and Risk. She and Leota met in med school, and were possibly roommates at one point. They like to go shopping together, although Leota never finds any clothes she likes. I usually dress Peaches in pastels, especially peach (I'm so original - this is also why Green wears green), pink, and orange. Her favorite Halloween costume is a mermaid. My speculative future for her is that she hooks up with a scruffy guy from the UK who played a werewolf at Leota's extravagant supernatural-themed bachelorette party. They have a little girl named Siobbhan, which I'm pretty sure is an actual name and not one I just made up.
Here, have a picture:
I've got to stop writing papers at the last minute. This time it was a comparison/contrast essay for English, about how Lost has changed (and stayed the same) between its first and current/sixth/final seasons. I thought it would be easier writing about something I love, but I didn't think about how it would be harder to write about something as insanely complicated as Lost. It turned out decently, although my conclusion is definitely rushed. I'll probably post it sometime soon. I'm thinking about doing weekly television posts, like I do with my Writing Wednesdays.
