Meme again??

[sincere]

I'm not usually much on memes, but I've seen a lot lately that I like.

Name a character from one of my fandoms and I'll give you
(a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon
(b) a reason he/she sucks
(c) a reason he/she is awesomecakes
(d) five things that never happened to that character
or and
(e) up to three people that character never fell in love with and why.

One character at a time, but not limited to one, if you're inspired.

Fandoms that are on my mind recently: KH, FF6-12, Suikoden 1-3, Tales of Symphonia/Abyss; Bleach, Avatar, Ouran, GetBackers, s.CRY.ed; um, Harry Potter

Stolen from a friend of a friend (fanfare).

a.
..Riku loves to work with his hands -- to make things. Building rafts, carving keychains, whittling wood, whatever. It's simple and calming and makes him happy, and then he has neat things to enjoy with his friends, or give away as gifts.
..Riku likes being out in a boat, sometimes just lying in the sun and drifting; he can almost hear voices whispering over the wind. (He didn't know he really could.) One day when he was young, he was doing just that when the boat bumped shore and he "discovered" the play island.
..He's used to being the tallest, but a little embarrassed he got quite this tall in only a year. He sometimes winds up unconsciously slouching.

b.
..Riku sucks because, um. He's too cool for me sometimes. <--no, really, sometimes "I'm cool" is such a glaring character trait that I just roll my eyes. Also, he overangsts it a bit lol.

c.
..Riku is awesome because he's really incredibly dynamic as a character, and the center of so many fascinating ideas I'd like to explore.

d.
..During the time when everyone's memories of Sora were disassembled, Riku never once worried about Kairi. He just felt confident that she was safe. It wasn't until after the memories returned that he realized she was alone and unprotected, and started watching out for her.
..Riku never succeeded in making a shadow of Kairi the way he did of Sora, but he tried. For some reason, the failure made him feel guilty, moreso than actually succeeding with Sora.
..Sora was so pleased about being "a natural" at skateboarding that Riku will never tell him that he absorbed the ability from the fake life they imprinted on Roxas.
..After the mistake that was taking DiZ's advice about Roxas, Riku was torn about Namine; he never would've let her vanish into Kairi if Namine hadn't assured him that she would still be there. (Which is why she said it.)
..He almost -- but didn't -- kiss Kairi once, a little while before the whole incident. Sora has no idea, but it's why Riku and Kairi were a little strained beforehand.

e.
..Riku never fell in love with Roxas. Obsess over him, yes, but even in the digital world where DiZ made him so much like Sora, he wasn't... really like Sora, like the Nobody's personality was too deeply-ingrained to be replaced that easily. Besides, he was too incredibly troubled at the time to even develop real (and not-confused) feelings for Roxas, and with the way things were to end... He clung to Namine instead.

..Riku never fell in love with, uh, Yuffie. But they'd be kind of cute-- damnit. Uh, mostly because I don't think they ever met, yeah.

Riku has too many potential love interests that I like for me to do this right. Well, I don't mind Riku/Roxas either, so let's just pick another pairing I think is cool but not especially canon.

..Riku never fell in love with Namine. He felt terrible for her, wanted to protect her and defended her from DiZ's cruelties; he liked her and leaned on her like a crutch (ironic, because she wanted someone to lean on herself) for a long time in there. But in the end she made him wonder too many things he'd rather not wonder about -- feel too much that he didn't want to feel, like sympathy for the Nobodies -- and he couldn't quite be comfortable with her.
