Your Favorite and Why

[Jo K.]

It's time to breathe some life back into these forums.

Let us have a discussion about our favorite characters and why they are our favorites. No simple answers like "Tsunade, because she's hot". Actually think about it. Do you like her fighting style? Find her impressive figure belies her brutal strength? What of her emotional strengths and weaknesses? Personality?

I'll start.

My favorite, as many of you may know, is Aburame Shino. The little bits we see of him appeal to me. He has sharp, angular features, pale skin and delicate, almost feminine hands. The fact that he uses insects as weapons is what drew me to him. I've always had a morbid fascination with creepy-crawlies. But to him, they are not just weapons, they are his "prescious insects". He's very intelligent and though quiet most of the time, he will go on rants about his strategies and how he is analyzing a situation. He suffers from depression constantly, as he is always the last to be mentioned, or not recognized or included at all. Though, the fact that he is not memorable speaks to an amazing potential as a ninja.
