I'm sensing a trend among the characters who end up as my favourites
the most traumatized characters, usually with scruffy hair, and which give me a desire to protect and comfort them. poor babies.
Lloyd from ninjago: faces probably the most trauma of all the ninjago characters, adorable scruffy hair, must protect (also he's dealing with anxiety in season 2 of dragons rising, relatable.)
Cole from ninjago: depressed teen, also with scruffy hair, must comfort
Remus Lupin from Harry Potter: sad wolf who blames himself for everything, must comfort and protect from further harm
Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter: an exception, she's basically me, weird and unashamed of it
Gilligan from Gilligan's island: weirdo who gets blamed for everything, although it's mostly because he causes all the problems, he's just bad luck. poor Gilligan.
