#favcharacterl — Public Fediverse posts

I've been sure of my #FavCharacterL for #FavCharacterAtoZ since before I knew I'd be asked. Funny thing is that their name is the same just spelled differently. His given name is Luis Amerillis Malaché, but for most he is Lusiphur. Rogue elf thief-assassin who lived his life to the extreme. Star of his comic book Poison Elves.

Picking my #FavCharacterL is hard b/c there's so many good Ls: Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Lando Calrissian, Lois Lane, Luigi, Lena Luthor, Lara Croft, Lisa Simpson, Lilith from mythology or Darkstalkers, Laika from Killing Slimes, etc...

But ultimately, I have to go with one of my all time favourite characters since I was a child & my mom told me his feats as bedtime stories: Zhuge Liang from Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

He's brilliant, clever, does Trojan Horse stuff on the regulatr, knows meteorology & science ahead of his time, invents cool things, wins over the southern leaders by NOT killing them, & even in death he scares the s- out of Sima Yi. Also he killed one guy by trolling him, & killed another guy by flaming him.

And he has great style.

Just the best

Tie between Luciente in Marge Piercy's Woman on the Edge of Time, and Limpopo in Cory Doctorow's Walkaway. Both serve as the obligatory tour guides and expositors required in any fictional utopia. In both cases, the utopia is a humanly appealing successor society which has emerged from the ruins of capitalism after a Time of Troubles (one of my favorite tropes).
Luciente is an inhabitant of a village on the east coast of the former United States, in an ecologically friendly, mostly postscarcity libertarian socialist society of the 22nd century, which emerged after progressive forces defeated corporate capital and authoritarian states in a protracted civil war and banished them to a handful of remaining bases on Antarctica and orbital platforms. She is introducing Connie, a woman from the 20th century, to her society.
Limpopo is one of the leading figures at the Belt and Braces Inn, a postscarcity community in the Walkaway society which was built with open-source micromanufacturing tech, vernacular building techniques, and p2p organization. She is introducing the Walkaway lifestyle to Hubert Etcetera, Natalie Redwoood and their friends, who have fled the dying "default" society.

@ami_angelwings On the one hand, I'm taking kind of an easy out on #FavCharacterL ... but on the other hand, she's iconic as heck: Lois Lane. The woman who's so sharp, smart, principled, ruthless, and determined that The Man Of Steel can't *help* but look at her with hearts in his eyes every day of his life.

(My favorite iteration is, of course, as with Supes himself, the S:TAS rendition.)

Without thinking any further, Liko, from Pokémon Horizons. We're watching it with my daughter and she's enchanted with the series and I love how healthy it is for a series for kids.

You might think that it's a vehicle for consumption, but strangely, no, at least not if we watch together and talk about it and enjoy it.

She does love Pokémon, yes, but she's not obsessed with getting toys.

#QuestionOfTheDay #FavCharacterAtoZ

Who is your favourite fictional character from any work whose name (if they only have one) or first name begins with the letter "L"?

Please include the series/work the character is from and why they are your favourite.

(Again, stuff like "Lieutenant" don't count unless it's a proper name & not simply a rank)

Include the hashtag #FavCharacterAtoZ and #FavCharacterL to it so that we can sort the answers easily.

NOTE: you can always participate in previous letters too (A-K). Or just do the ones you want. Their hashtags are #FavCharacterA #FavCharacterB, etc
