Have you ever read a novel, comic, manga, watched a movie, play, TV show etc., and you found yourself invested in a side character? Ever cared for and felt more intrigued by that side character than the mains? If so, what character was it and what are some.things that make you so interested in them?
When I was playing Resident Evil 2 as a kid, I was really invested in Sherry, the kind of annoying, little girl side character that you have to escort around.
The fact that this zombie apocalypse game trojan-horsed a family drama into its plot was fun, and 12 year old me, who always picked the boy character when playing Pokemon, because I felt like I had to, was confronted with a lot of confusing feelings when RE2 made me play as Sherry.
Anyway, I’m Transgender now.
Alex Louis Armstrong in Full Metal Alchemist. He was such a kind soul in a cruel world. He gets treated like shit fairly often and he is very earnest in his affection towards Elric Brothers, maybe too earnest.
I’ll keep an eye for him. I just started FMA last night. I’m a whopping two episodes in.
It’s an incredible anime. One of the best, imo.
Hell yeah - FMA has so many good side characters!

At the moment I am hard pressed to think of a minor character who’s story arc has hit me as hard as My Hero Academia’s Jin Bubaigawara, also known as Twice. It’s probably because I wasn’t paying attention to him, his screw ups, and how those mistakes must have been affecting him. Selfless through and through.
Sad man’s parade.
