Day 5: Character you're most like

[sara_tanaquil]

This was another one I was stumped by for quite a while. I almost chose Nuriko, who I don't particularly resemble, but who is the only character I've ever cosplayed. Then I realized the answer was

I wanted to find a clip of the Shikkari shite scene on youtube, but failing that, this music video will have to do.

SO ME.

True story: my best friend in college decided at one point that the reason I was having trouble finding someone to date was that I was actually a member of a different species. We concluded that a variety of sloth was the most likely candidate, and a lot of strange artwork ensued. (As Dave Barry would say, I swear I am not making this up.)

Hey, I kinda like that song... (I swear to god half of any new music I get turned onto must come from AMVs...)

and a lot of strange artwork ensued
THIS I kinda want to know about now. XD

For me....while I've found plenty (PLENTY) of similarities across several characters over the years, I really think I'd have to say Hiro (Junjo). The closest runner up, or my answer if we're going to be sticklers about *gender* (pfft!): my now-always alter ego Sakura (Naruto) -- at least, the Sakura from up until the point where I stopped reading/watching anyway.

I would dearly love to be Matsuri-chan from Souryuuden. ...I mean, who wouldn't want to have four dragon kings at her beck and call?

(Okay, I know it's cheating to link a picture from the novels rather than the anime, but I couldn't resist the CLAMP art.)

As for someone whom I actually resemble...the closest I can think of is the main character from Read or Die, though even I am not THAT obsessed. Second choice would be Meiko from Marmalade Boy.

the main character from Read or Die

Haha, oh, good call. The other character I considered was...what was her name, Nakajima? from the 12 Kingdoms anime, at least in the beginning, when she was all bookwormy and excited about going into a fantasy world. But then she sort of turns into a jerk, so....eh.

Zounds! And I was just thinking that Yoko might be the closest to me. And not for good "I have a unicorn protector" reasons.

...Why don't I have a kirin?

ETA: hey, what happened to the spoiler HTML that worked when I previewed this comment? :( Avoid this comment, anyone who hasn't seen 12K.

And I was just thinking that Yoko might be the closest to me.

It's nice to you you'll forgive my faults after I die.

I had the exact same thing happen to a span tag in a comment...I just don't remember where. It involved Sara in some way, though. Either Sara is broken, or LJ is no longer supporting teh span tag in comments.

Also, I forgive you -- while you are alive -- for spoiling 12K. Because that's what Youko would do. Except she would do it with a unicorn.

I'm glad you brought that up, because I got a really strong feeling of deja vu after I posted my ETA, but I guess I was just remembering that incident.

I just did a test in my journal, and it looks like the tag will work in a top level post but not a comment. I wonder what happened?

ETA: "incident?" What is this, a murder mystery? "The Incident of the Broken Spoiler Tag"?

(It was mangaroo, with the knife, in the conservatory.)

Yeah, Yomiko from ROD is always what pops into my head for me too - but really her personality doesn't match up very well with mine :p

Probably the best fit for me is early Kiyomaro from Konjiki no Gash.

Hey hey, guess what song I just used to pad out mangaroo's free music promo code on Amazon? XD

[sara-tanaquil.livejournal.com]

LOL, thanks for giving me a chance to revisit the post. I really did like that AMV. ^_^

I still have to spend my free music code! Hmmm....
