Character Name: Peter Parker Series: Spider-Man (MCU) Timeline: Post-Homecoming Canon Resource Links:Character WikiHomecoming Wiki
Personality: Peter Parker is just your average, every day teenage boy going to school and living his life. Just kidding, that's just his cover story- he's actually a super cool, badass superhero that saves lives and takes names. There, that's better- that's what he wants you to think.
In actuality, Peter is a goofy teenager with a strong sense of right and wrong who believes that because he happened to get super powers, it's his obligation to be a vigilante and keep the peace. Because if he doesn't, then he's responsible because he could have done something, but didn't. He's not graceful, he's not efficient and he talks way too much when he probably shouldn't.But he tries and most of the time he's stubborn enough to come out the other side victorious. Most of the time. And if not, he's still stubborn enough to try and keep going until you tell him to take a sit.
His obligation to being Spider-Man tends to trump everything else he has in life. He's faced many a time with the chance to hang out with friends or do something fun- even with the person he's crushing on but instead of doing what he wants, he chooses crime fighting every time. He doesn't do it to be famous or cool- though that's a bonus- he does it because he's gotta. That's just how his brain works.
When he's faced with anything exciting, he's like an overly caffeinated ten year old. Meet your favorite super hero? He'll talk their ear off. Put him in a battle against other cool super heros? He'll still talk their ear off, because he's genuinely thrilled to have the opportunity. After the battle? You bet your ass he's vlogging that shit and reenacting it every step of the way in vivid detail because he had so much fun. Peter is just an excitable boy who tends to get in over his head.
He's also hella smart. We're not talking straight A's here, we're talking about develop your own spiderweb formula in secret in the middle of class type smart. He's not the best student because he's always running off and fighting crime, but he Tries™ There was a point in time where he would have gladly left school and became an Avenger- in fact, it's what he wanted. But shit happened, he realized that would be a pretty bad idea and he chilled out. He realized he needs to have a semblence of a normal teenage life. A friendly neighborhood Spider-Man before an Avenger... He'd still totes go on missions at the drop of a hat though. That's different.

Victory Road Sample: Oh man! I've had to make a lot of hard choices in my life. Like this one time, I had to pick between doing the right thing or hanging out with this girl I liked. Man that was a tough one. But this one is proooobably the hardest one I've ever had to make in my entire life. Johto or Kanto?? The ferry is right there! It's calling my name. "Peter! Ride me!" Wait that sounds weird, can we redo that? "Peter! Relive your childhood! Go to Kanto!" Yeah that's a way less weird. There we go. Anyway, so yeah then you've got Johto, which is new and different and full of cool stuff, I assume. Ugggggh I'm so indecisive. Internet, help!

Character Name: Lance Series: Voltron: Legendary Defender Timeline: End of S2E7 Canon Resource Links:Wiki Linkage
Personality:
For starters, Lance is tiring. He's a highly energetic teen with what's probably the universe's biggest ego and a penchant for toilet humor and fart jokes. He's boastful, impulsive, pretty much conceited as all hell, and he's (wrongly) convinced he is a ladies' man. No woman is safe around him, not even Princess Allura. On their first meeting where she collaspes into his arms, he blushes furiously and commences to hitting on her with lewd innuendo throughout the episode until Team Dad Shiro reigns him in. He continues to hit on her in various ways throughout the series, going as far as to offer to buy her sparkly presents at the swap moon to win her favor. Of course his eye for the ladies does get him into trouble where he ignores the gut feelings of his teammate Hunk in regards to some stranded passengers. Lance immediately starts flirting with the sole female on the other team and takes her on a ride in the Blue Lion just to show off. Unfortunately for this hormone driven buffoon, it turns out those passengers aren't stranded at all but are bounty hunters who are trying to get ahold of Voltron so they can clear their name with the Galra. The girl uses Lance's infuation against him and ties him to a tree on a random planet while she skips off with the Blue Lion. Certainly this dude was thinking with the wrong head and let his guard down big time.
And while one can excuse his behavior as just being a seventeen year old boy, one cannot forget how utterly immature Lance can be. When it comes to Keith, everything is a competition with him. Everything. He's literally convinced that it's a known fact in the Garrison that Lance and Keith were rivals, running neck and neck, up until Keith is booted out. But being convinced of that doesn't mean it's true at all, but when has that ever stopped Lance? He even manages to drag other people into his one-man rivalry with Keith. Rescuing a Shiro in need? Lance wants to be the one to do it over Keith. When Keith and Allura leave the safety of the castle to test a theory of whether or not Zarkon is tracking them, Lance's first reaction on their return is not to ask if they were safe. Instead, this dummy asks Keith if Allura is with him, but not in the manner of accompanying him, but implying that he's asking if Allura and Keith are an item now which, no. Keith and Allura clearly have better things to do at that moment, but try telling Lance that when he's feeling a little jealous. Any time is a good time to fight Keith in his eye, nevermind that half the time Keith isn't even bothered by him.
He also has a bad habit of getting caught up in the glory and praise that comes with being part of Voltron. For every mission that goes off well, Lance wants a ticker tape parade regardless of how dangerous and serious the mission might be. Crowds are his favorite as those are an opportunity to show how great Voltron is and wouldn't you all like to support this big ass robot and the cutie in the Blue Lion leg?
However, while this is all happening on the outside, on the inside Lance is actually more than a shallow teen. He's very attached to his large family that's back on Earth and he misses them dearly. He also misses Earth itself too, the rainfall, the beaches he grew up by, even his favorite food, garlic knots. Lance also takes care of himself, relishing in self-care like facial masks, silky robes, and soft music to help him sleep. It's easy to dismiss Lance as a bundle of impulsive bravado, especially when he rarely shows this softer side of himself. His hunger for glory and praise seems to be a result of him thinking that he isn't good enough, not as good as the rest of the team, definitely not as good as Keith. Sometimes Lance even questions whether or not he is the best choice as a Paladin for Voltron. He has high expectations of himself, yet he doesn't quite seem to reach them, so his defense mechanism is to pick fights with a person he secretly admires (Keith) and be the class clown and be his own hype man when no one else has a reason to be. Lance desperately wants to prove himself useful as a Paladin, but it seems like he wants to push this proof more to himself rather than to anyone else.
That said, he's also very friendly. Lance is quick to smile, quick to lighten the mood if needed. His free-spirit is strong and it wouldn't be wrong to say he enjoys the action packed parts of defending the universe. Adventure is probably his middle name and it's easy to see that he gets along with the rest of the team regardless of his less than savory antics.. Yes, even Keith sometimes. A miracle, really. While Lance is the only one who missed the fact that Pidge is a girl, his moments of perceptiveness do come in handy with him being the first one to be chosen by the Blue Lion and realizing that the Lions are sentient and that they communicate with their Paladins. He also is the one that prevents Keith from rushing headlong into a battle by reminding him that the surface they are fighting on is actually a living creature that's already been injured and following Keith's reckless plan, they would just cause it more pain. Keith actually agrees with Lance and continues on with a successful plan that Lance comes up with on the fly. Lance is actually a better Paladin than he gives himself credit for, but he isn't there yet in his journey to realize this himself.

Character Name: Yuuko Nishigori Series: Yuri!!! on Ice Timeline: Post episode 12 Canon Resource Links:Wiki link
Personality: Yuuko is a nice person. It may seem a bit presumptuous to start out with the word “nice” as a descriptor, but a consistent trait of hers is how she is kind, friendly and supportive to nearly everyone she meets. Being a childhood friend of the main character, Yuuri Katsuki, she has always been close to him, having grown up learning how to skate with him at the same skating rink that she now works at. Her warm and bubbly personality is shown to have been a constant source of comfort and support for Yuuri, who has long suffered from anxiety and doubts about his skills as a figure skater. She is the first person he truly opens up to after returning to his hometown of Hasetsu in the first episode, having practiced famous skater Victor Nikiforov’s program so he can perform it for her and remind himself of the times they shared while skating together, in order to pull himself out of his depression. From there, she continues to support her friend as best she can, both by keeping an eye on his progress when he practices at the rink and by watching his competitions on television with her family.
Her kindness doesn’t only extend to those she knows well; she’s also able to reach out to those who are less than friendly, being the only person in Hasetsu who’s able to befriend the short-tempered teen skating prodigy Yuri Plisetsky. In the lead up to the Hot Springs on Ice competition, she goes so far as to help him train and give him encouragement even though he’s competing against her childhood friend, and she’s the only one to show concern for him when he leaves before the results of the competition are announced. From there, they still maintain a friendly relationship, keeping in touch by texting, and she is one of several people who Yuri dedicates his program to later on (the program in question being based on agape, the ancient Greek concept of unconditional, platonic love). This just goes to show how much Yuuko’s kindness can touch people, whether they’re her friends or angry teenagers.
That’s not to say that Yuuko’s patience has no limits, though. In flashbacks, we see her telling off her other childhood friend Takeshi for picking on Yuuri; considering how Takeshi has matured since then and is also now married to Yuuko, it’s safe to say that she was effectively able to keep him from becoming too much of a bully by intervening whenever possible. She also has to deal with the challenge of raising her six-year-old triplet daughters Axel, Lutz and Loop; the triplets are mischievous as well as highly precocious for their age, which leads to Yuuko constantly having to scold them for staying up too late to watch figure skating competitions or using her social media accounts without permission. Though she does love her daughters, their antics do often make her frustrated with them.
Finally, it should be mentioned that Yuuko has a huge passion for figure skating. She’s loved it since she was young, having grown up as rinkmates with Yuuri and Takeshi, and Yuuri mentioned having looked up to her as a skater (and at one point she earned the nickname "the Madonna of Ice Castle Hasetsu"). She was, and still is, a huge fan of famous Russian skater Victor Nikiforov; she was the one who introduced him to Yuuri (leading Yuuri to become a fan himself), and the two of them would often try to imitate him during practice. She no longer skates seriously herself—she would have given birth to the triplets when she was 19 or so, thus preventing her from continuing her skating career further—but she still works at the skating rink along with her husband, and her daughters (who are all named after figure skating jumps) have definitely inherited their own obsession with figure skating from her. Even if she doesn’t participate in the sport anymore, she still loves it and is always willing to lend her support to those who do skate, just like she lends support in everything else.

Victory Road Sample: Text So why did none of you tell me that there's a skating rink here??? ∑(;°Д°)
...okay, sorry, I'm just a little excited since I used to work at the local skating rink back home, so knowing that there's a rink here helps to make this place a little more familiar. So I got to thinking...would anyone here like to learn how to skate? I could charge a small fee for lessons, since I did teach kids, including my own girls. I mean, I do enjoy Pokemon breeding, but it would really be nice to go back to my roots. I did used to figure skate competitively so if you want to learn things like spins and jumps you're welcome to that, but if you just want the basics then that's fine too. Since I've been told that it's the off season for hockey right now, it would be a great time to learn!
...at least, I hope the rink will still be open to the public once I actually get to Mahogany Town. Hopefully I can talk to whoever's in charge and work something out...

Character Name: Yu Narukami Series: Persona 4 Golden Timeline: 23/08, just after the beach trip Canon Resource Links:Here!
Personality: As a malleable protagonist, most of Yu’s canon, personality-wise, is up to the player. However, his dialogue options and unprompted actions are consistent enough that you can draw a picture of a base personality from which to draw. The most obvious thing to notice is a certain level of stoicism. While he’s by means completely unflappable, most of Yu’s reaction to things are far more restrained than other characters’, with him often being the one maintaining his composure when things get dire and action is needed. In fact, this trait of his is the key to unlocking the true ending of the game. He still reacts to things that surprise or scare him, of course, as well as to the shenanigans some of his friends get themselves and him into, mostly through what’s implied in-game to be facial expressions.
Something else consistent about Yu, is his ability and even ease to connect to people. He’s canonically referred by others as someone that looks dependable and easy to approach, with nothing to hide, and that draws people to him more than once. Throughout his life in-game, be it through a part-time job, or his home and school life, he forms bonds, however superficial at first, with people. All people he forms bonds with tend to describe him as someone kind and considerate (and those that don’t, tend to emphasize other traits of his, such as him being somehow different from their usual social circle), while still capable of asking questions and making comments that can get to the heart of their problems and issues.
This isn’t to say Yu is, or even can be perfect. He joins a raid by the boys to the girls’ room while they stay at an inn after an incident at the hot springs; he abandons a paralyzed Teddie at a ramen restaurant after Teddie orders a ridiculous amount of ramen on their tab, just to give two examples. He is perfectly able to participate in less noble actions on his own accord and the player choice dialogue of the game allow him to be downright mean. He never really has to be, though, and perhaps and that’s the main point to take from it: he has the capacity to be mean, but never feels obligated to do so. This also applies to his humor: he can make sarcastic jokes that might poke fun at his friends, but never without also being able to simply say something else.
Yu is a person that grows stronger in his powers through his bonds with people that he grows close to. Arguably, this extends to him as a person too; throughout the game he’s described as someone inherently seeking for the truth, someone with an innate capacity for hope. While whether or not he really changes as a person due to the game is up to debate, it’s easily intuited that who Yu already is as a person is reinforced, giving him a place he can always home and friends that will never forget him and, likewise, that he won’t forget.
Pokémon Information Affiliation: Trainer Starter: Eevee. Thematically, Eevee is a great fit for Yu for two reasons:
1. Yu is canonically known as a ‘wild card’, someone whose powers don’t have the same restrictions as the others, and is thus filled with possibilities, much like the number 0. This is a good parallel to Eevee’s evolutionary possibilities and how it branches off depending on player/trainer choice.
2. Another important part of Yu’s role is his relationship with others, and how by helping them, they too help him. This is another good parallel with Eevee due to how it has 3 evolutions that depend on its relationship with the trainer.
Victory Road Sample:So I was thinking… Some of us know about this place already from videogames, right? In fact, games where you make enemy monsters your allies are kinda common. So… What are videogames here like, anyway? Do they have games with like… Fake Pokemon to catch and battle? Being able to do that for real probably takes some appeal away, but then again, there’s games about stuff we can do in real life back home, so that might not be a deterrent here either. Has anyone looked that up? I’ll do it myself of course, but I was curious if anyone had done it already.

Character Name: Mabel Pines the most awesome sweater maker in the whole wide world!!! Series: Gravity Falls Timeline: Season Two, Episode Fifteen: The Last Mabelcorn <- SCREW THAT UNICORN!!!! Canon Resource Links: Okay so this is all about me and sometimes about Dipper and Grunkle Stan. Oh and Wendy and Soos and all my other friends. But it's super important and if I had enough time I would have put together visuals but there was only so many crafting supplies available.
Personality: Mabel is pretty much what you'd expect a twelve year old girl to be like. She likes sweaters, covering her face with sequins, slapping stickers on people, facing off against her rivals in mini golf battles and playing DJ with her pet pig. Totally normal twelve year old girl stuff.
Yeah.
Alright so maybe Mabel is just a little bit on the quirky side. Random is definitely a word that suits her but it's a good sort of random! She's a bubbling, energetic sort of random that keeps life interesting and always tries to find the fun side of everything. <-Duh! Life is boring if you aren't having fun! There's no reason to sit inside when there's a whole world you could be exploring!! Unless there's a really good movie marathon on then that's totally understandable or if you're in the middle of a heated card game. That's an acceptable reason to not go out. But being with friends is the best! You get to have fun and share secrets and talk about boys and all the stupid things your brother did when he thought no one was around to see! It's absolutely, 100% the best thing in the entire world and I highly recommend it. Even in the face of danger Mabel is always ready with a joke and a smile though more often than not it's just a good way for her to hide the fact that she's more than a little terrified.
At her core, Mabel is a very loving and caring person. Her brother is one of the most important people in the world to her, especially, and she goes out of her way to try and keep him in her universe as much as possible. Each and every person Mabel meets seems to have a lasting effect on her in some way and she very rarely disregards another person/writes them off completely. (Even in the case of someone like Pacifica she has attempted to bridge the gap on multiple occasions only to be reminded more often than not that the other girl is still just a spoiled uppity bottled blonde one dimensional wannabe pro golfer who has no idea what's she's talking about when she says that my sweaters are not stylish!!!!! But I guess she..really isn't all that bad. I think we're making progress. Some progress.) While, like any child, Mabel does have her moments of selfishness she will more often than not give up things she wants in order to make the people she cares about happy because at the end of the day that's more important to her than anything else. Unless it's Waddles.
Like any young teen Mabel has her moments of throwing fits and getting angry over seemingly petty things. She gets upset with her brother for not wanting to do things her way, she gets upset when someone does something to undermine her or seemingly betray her--all things that are typical of a young teen that's still trying to get a handle on their emotions. But Mabel is also very good about learning from these moments of upset and anger and moving forward from them. She's not afraid to admit her mistakes and apologize for what she might have done wrong and it's very rare for her to hold a grudge, especially when it comes to her brother. Grudges are like dark clouds that hang over your head and sometimes they sink down and start to suffocate you until you can't breath and all you can do is stumble around like a zombie until you find the person you have a grudge against and try to tear their brains out!!!
Despite how full of sunshine and rainbows Mabel is, she does have her fair share of insecurities. She knows she isn't as smart as her brother and worries that it's going to separate them someday. (A feeling made worse when she hears Stan and Ford's story.) There are even moments when she feels jealous of how smart Dipper is and she wishes she could be half the genius that he is. There's also the problem with people not taking her seriously a lot of the time because of the things she likes and how she acts and she tries her best not to let it get her down but it can be hard sometimes. <-I don't want anyone to feel bad for me though. Everyone has their own things to worry about they don't need to worry about me to and being jealous of Dipper is stupid. It's totally stupid. We're twins and that's never going to change. We'll never be like Grunkle Stan and Grunkle Ford! We'll never be like them..
Mabel's main goal in life is to try and be the best person she possibly can be and to make those around her as happy as possible. So no matter what, she will always try and make that her top priority. Sometimes her plans don't always work out but when push comes to shove, nothing will stop Miss Mabel Pines from being the most pure of heart!!!

Hi everyone! Mabel here! I've got a really important question and I need answers. Fast.
[Grinning widely, Mabel is seated on the grass outside a Pokemon Center with a scraggly little Meowth in her lap, said feline wearing a 100% genuine Mabel Pines sweater of his own in bright green with little toy mice carefully knitted onto it. Beside them floats Little Dipper the Minior who..also has a sweater?
How?
No. It's probably better not to question it. The happy little thing bobs about, it's bright yellow sweater sporting a pine tree on it.]
How many people want sweaters for their Pokemon? Because I was looking through the catalog and there's so many things I need to buy for Little Dipper and the others so I need money and I need it fast! So put your orders in here, folks!
[Someone's been around Stan for way too long.
She holds up her Meowth who squirms before letting out a happy squeak and holds his paws up to show off his sweater.]
I'll even customize them with whatever picture you want at no extra charge! And if you don't know what to pick, I can pick for you!
[Mabel peeks around her Meowth and beams.]
So who wants one?

Note: I would like to bring Mabel back with her memories of the previously months I hadn't her in game!

Character Name: Katie “Pidge” Holt Series: Voltron Legendary Defender Timeline: end of Season 6 Canon Resource Links:Wiki Page
Personality: Being the Green Paladin of Voltron states that Pidge is intelligent and daring with an inquisitive nature. While this is definitely true, it’s a summary that leaves out quite a lot about her. Pidge is a genius-level force of nature. She lets nothing stand in the way of her goals and fights tooth and nail for what she wants. At least part of that is a change that was triggered when she heard the news of her family’s supposed demise. A fierce determination grew in her, fueled by her desire to find out the truth of what happened to her father and brother. That’s what took her to repeatedly break into the Galaxy Garrison and search through their files for information, and once she discovered the cover-up, she was furious. It turned her into a near unstoppable force, a big brain in a petite, angry body, and it seems to have almost completely eclipsed who she was before the incident. She has a quick temper and a low tolerance for stupidity, leading her to frequently reach out and hit whoever has offended her (read: Lance). Perhaps because of the garrison’s cover-up about the Kerberos mission, she has very little regard for authority figures and will not hesitate to snipe back when she wants to, higher military rank or royalty be damned. Respect is something to be earned from her, and until then she’ll simply do what she wants/feels is right.
In order to return to the Garrison, Katie used the nickname Pidge that her brother gave her as a basis for her new identity. And after that, there was simply no going back. She chose to embrace this new identity for as long as necessary and kept her secret extremely close to the chest. After months of being called by her new name and going by “he/him” pronouns, gender roles have mattered even less than they already did to her. That having been said, she does identify as a girl. She’s just not the type to care enough to attempt to fit into anyone’s expectations, or even to correct anyone unless it came up very specifically in conversation. Even after admitting to her team that she’s actually a girl she did not go back to being called Katie or wearing dresses as she once did (the latter could simply be because of a lack of wardrobe, but it’s not like she can’t ask if Allura had anything she could borrow - and yet she doesn’t). She’s almost never exhibited any sort of “lady-like” behavior, which made it somewhat difficult for some of her teammates to wrap their heads around the truth when she revealed it. With her shorter hair, skinny build, and small chest, she’s about as androgynous-looking as a person can get and she simply doesn’t care what people think of her anymore.
It should go without saying that Pidge is absolutely brilliant. While no one has ever outright stated that she's a genius, the fact is pretty clear to everyone around her. Right from the beginning it’s shown that she’s able to build machinery more complex than their military has, and she is constantly experimenting with both Altean and Galra technologies whenever she gets the chance. Her knowledge of technology has grown exponentially since joining Team Voltron, to the point that she’s made numerous modifications to the castle’s pods and to the Green Lion that she pilots, figured out how to download computer information through Shiro’s prosthetic Galra tech arm into her computer, written code to translate the Galra language to their common tongue when hacking into their systems, and much more. She was quickly established as the team’s Tech Whiz; a title that she wears proudly. Of course no great gift is without its burdens: her own brilliant mind tends to pull up every possible outcome of a situation, good and especially bad, and it can send her into a downward spiral of worry and overthinking. These moments usually need intervention from an outside source before she’ll stop, whether it’s in the form of a simple interruption or proper reassurance.
Her genius is possibly drowned out into the background by her temper and the deadpan sarcasm that she tends to speak in (especially when dealing with Lance). She can be a complete troll when she wants to be, playfully teasing the others at the best of times (jabbing at Hunk about “his new giiiiiiiirlfriend~!”, for instance) and being painfully blunt and rude at the worst (point blank telling Allura that she isn’t anyone’s princess anymore). It seems to stem from the fact that Pidge is not only fully confident in herself and her abilities, but 4 times out of 5 she simply doesn’t care what other people think of her. This makes it difficult for her to make lasting friendships, as well as her tendency to play things extremely close to the chest when she feels there's a need to for it, as she was with her true identity and gender while she was infiltrating the garrison. Tech and machines and robots are, for Pidge, easy to connect with and talk to. Other living, breathing people? Not so much. But once a bond is forged, it’s just about impossible to break.
Despite her anger, her sarcasm, and her tendency toward secretiveness, Pidge is a deeply loyal friend and ally. She has a bit of a sensitive spot when it comes to the people who are near and dear to her, which often causes her to lash out more in anger than in hurt. And after the incident of the castle being taken over, Pidge has come to the understanding that she does think of Team Voltron as an extended family and will do whatever is necessary to preserve that bond.

Victory Road Sample: [Dealing with people face to face is hard, even if Pidge is doing it over the PokéGear. She has no idea if anyone from her team is here, after all, and she’s hesitant to be sending a general call like this out in case someone here is associated with the Galra or with Lotor. Still, she needs to know if anyone from her team is out there. It’s worth it.
Plus… she kind of needs a bit of help. Which is pretty clear as soon as the video starts running.
There’s some kind of owl creature nestled into the fluffy tangles of her hair. It looks quite comfortable up there, and it’s sort of half-asleep and clearly not trying to hurt her or anything. But Pidge just looks… completely baffled by the little thing.]
So I’ve just turned up here, and a lot of what’s going on around here is pretty unusual even by my standards, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out eventually. But if someone could just… tell me what the thing on my head is, that’d really help me get the ball rolling.
[It would also actually give her a ball to get rolling in the first place, but she won’t mention that for now.]
Um-- Anyway, that’s all. [An awkward, shy sort of smile.] Thanks.

Personality: Magnus tries to do good, recklessly. From a very early age he’s tried to dedicate himself to helping those who need it, without obvious benefit to himself. While he’s nearly as chaotic as the rest of his adventuring group and he’s never going to turn down payment in exchange for services rendered, he’s more likely to take action to do what seems right without a lot of prompting. As early as their first recorded adventure together, Magnus was inclined to rush in; to the point of rushing to the aid of a woman who had previously tried to kill him and his partners for reasons they couldn’t understand and had no control over, or risking death by immolation to try evacuating a town about to literally explode rather than seeking the immediate safe shelter of a well. He can be very stubborn about this, such as refusing to kill one probably-non-sapient creature that was innocent but still threatening the entire plane by its existence. Despite his do-gooder tendencies, Magnus can easily be abrasive to those around him. On first meetings he tends towards throwing out jokes and goofs, often at the expense of whoever he’s interacting with, or at least without a great deal of respect for whatever the situation might be. He improves on this over the course of canon, but his primary form of opening socialization is almost always shitty jokes. He approaches everything with gusto, bringing a great energy and enthusiasm to everything he does. In all things, however, Magnus falls back on action over thought; he’s not an unintelligent man, and he’s been shown to make some very smart tactical decisions in combat, but he lives more by his gut than anything.
For most of canon, Magnus is something of a death-seeker. He’s not suicidal, but he’s accepted the possibility of dying. He dealt with the loss of his wife by throwing himself further into his action-first mindset, and it wasn’t until he was offered the chance to literally change his past that he truly began moving past seeking death and began more trying to live in her memory, living to help people again. While it’s explicitly stated several times that he still sees death and the afterlife as his final reward, Magnus begins trying harder to stay alive fight to live, even after technically dying and being sent on a trip to the afterlife in a fight with a pair of necromancers. Regardless, his biggest weakness is his tendency to shield and protect others, taking the big hits so they don’t have to.

Victory Road Sample: so does anyone else ever feel a little uncomf beating up kids and taking their money
i mean i know battling's like super important to EVERYONE here and that's honestly pretty great
like it’s super important to be able to defend yourself if necessary
and learning to do that in a safe environment is all good, A+, really, much safer than having kids go out and punch monsters alone or something
but i just had what I'm pretty sure was a pair of preschoolers throw their hamsters or something at me and wouldn't let me say 'no' to fighting them and that's just all kinds of weird
and then they just kind of shoved their money at me and
they didn’t run exactly, but they wouldn’t let me like not take it or give it back
i seriously tried setting it down on the ground and walking away and I think that upset them more than losing did, it was probably the most awkward thing i’ve ever seen or done
i'm pretty sure that prize money was supposed to be their lunch money or something too

Unfortunately there is...no consistent guide anywhere for this series so I did a write-up of my own here. I posted it separately to save space because it's a lot. :'D
Personality: Chise is definitely not an average young girl and it's not just because of the magical aspect of her life. Because of the tragic events of her childhood, Chise was raised in a world where she was treated like something horrible and disgusting and this heavily influenced her own view of herself while she was growing. She sees herself as a burden to others which is why she stays quiet more than speaking out and giving her opinion on things. She also sees herself as very selfish because she does things for the people she cares about because it makes her happy to see them happy--and somewhere along the way this translated to being selfish in her head. Chise does her best to just be an obedient child, doing whatever others say and doing what she can to appease them even if it never works.
Once she's in an environment where she's able to flourish, Chise starts to show who she really is.
Underneath the quiet and obedient girl is one that is very determined to prove herself and what she can do. She's much smarter than anyone ever gave her credit for and she proves to be a very quick learner when it comes to magic. Everything that Elias tasks her with learning she takes on and throws herself into without hesitation. It doesn't matter the size of the challenge or how foreboding it may seem in general. She's very good at finding a way around anything that may prove to be a hurdle and analyzes everything about the situation she's in before acting. Most of the time.
Without people there blocking her every move and cutting her down when she attempts to do things, Chise proves to be very impulsive in certain situations, acting on emotion more often than not. She cares deeply for her new little family and will not hesitant to protect them however she can, even if it means putting herself into danger. But this desire does go beyond her new family sometimes, especially once she starts to feel for them as seen when she shoved Alice out of the way, someone she barely knew, and took a potentially fatal blow for her. She can also be quite impulsive when it comes to her magic. Chise has been warned many times over that overuse of her powers will effect her lifespan and her energy but she will still use it on a whim when someone needs help or protecting. Whether it's saving two spirits from disappearing forever or protecting Elias, her power is great and very, very draining on the young girl. Despite the dangers of it, she's not going to stop anytime soon. Sorry, Elias.
With this impulsiveness comes a quick-temper right on its heels that is usually one of the driving forces of her impulsive actions. She's starting to really connect the dots as to what angers and upsets her and she reacts the way she thinks is appropriate. A lot of the time this means doing something very big and very dangerous but, hey, that's what you're suppose to do when you're mad, right? She's still learning how to use restraint when it comes to her temper and it's probably going to take quite awhile before she can fully reign it in once she snaps. Until then, she's going to continue to take on individuals like The Wandering Jew, whom is easily more powerful than her, simply because he was a terrible person and threatened her friends and family.
As seen when Renfred and Alice attempted to sway her away from Elias, Chise has proven to be quite loyal to the oddity of a being. He is the first person to ever give her a chance, give her a real purpose in life and that alone makes her loyal to him. It doesn't matter to her that he lied about his intentions for her nor does it matter to her that he could very easily kill her any day. He looked at her as something more than an object. He gave her a home. He gave her things that no one since her parents had ever given her. Her life feels more complete now more than it ever has and she will never betray him. It comes up again when Angelica mentions that she doesn't have to do or say things just because it's what Elias may want her to and Chise responds that what matters most to her is making him happy. To making sure she doesn't, essentially, look a gift horse in the mouth since he saved her life. She does start to grow past this, start to realizing that she can be more than just subservient (though she struggles with it because she sees it as being selfish in a way) and is slowly starting to be more vocal about things and question the things that Elias says and does.
Now while there have been quite a few negative things to come with her learning to let her emotions go, there have been some good things. One of these good ones comes in the form of curiosity which Chise has in abundance. She doesn't hesitate to question things and ask every new person she meets questions, wanting to learn more about them and what they can do. The world was never really open to her to explore and learn about because of how stifling her family was as she was passed around and now, with a whole new world to explore as well, Chise is a little bit overwhelmed and blown away at times. She manages to keep it inside when she experiences something beyond her imagination, opting for a more neutral stance most of the time, but every now and then true child like wonder will shine through. (Such as when she met the dragons. Nothing could have stopped her from being bright eyed in their presence.)
Something that takes a little longer to show itself in full is just how much Chise cares for those around her, whether they are apart of her new family or just an outsider. At first, she does what she's told, what Elias wants of her, because that's what's always been expected but along the way she starts to learn more about him and begins to show concern for him. He's very secretive which worries Chise and it makes her keep a close eye on him which helps her learn how to read his rather inexpressive face. Anytime something happens to him she reacts with worry, checking him over for wounds or demanding that he tell her how he's doing. From there her natural need to mother hen those around her starts to show as she shows compassion for spirits that are involved in a job they go out on, instant love for the King of Cats and a deep concern and immediate sort of love for the grim she meets in the graveyard. Each individual that ends up on the receiving end of her concern will have it for as long as they are involved in her life and she will not forget them, seeing every memory she has of her friends and family as the most important things in her life.
Pokémon Information Affiliation: Breeder Starter: Litwick I would like to have Chise start with a Litwick because each Pokedex entry describes it as a seemingly helpful creature that is, in reality, attempting to lure people and Pokemon into the Ghost World. This is very similar to the Will-o'-the-Wisps and other Fae in Chise's canon and how they attempt to sweet talk and lure individuals into the Faerie World. (Chise herself was almost tricked by a trio of Faeries after she first moved in with Elias and later became good friends with one of the little Fae.) Considering Chise is a Sleigh Buggy back hope and magical beings of all types are naturally drawn to her, I feel like a Litwick would just be instinctively drawn to her presence as well and would be a good starter for her/end up protective of her because hey that's THEIR strange human okay!

Victory Road Sample: Could someone explain something to me. Can the faeries here be trusted? Why does the Pokedex say that ghosts are the ones that will trick you and lure you away?
Where I'm from fae creatures are the ones you can't trust.
[She knows from first hand experience.
Attached is a picture of a Litwick that looks rather pleased with life, the universe and everything, staring at the camera--or maybe it's whoever's behind the camera that the little ghost is staring at--like it's looking at the best prize in the world.]
Is the Pokedex absolutely correct? Or is it possible this is a fae creature? It acts like that. And apparently they try to lure people to their 'Ghost World'.
Sounds a lot like Jade Ariel and her friends from home.
