Nero Wolfe, genius armchair detective, intellectual, orchid grower extraordinaire, gourmand, perpetual layabout who literally has to hire someone to prod him into work (one Archie Goodwin). In a genre full of tough guys Wolfe stands out by his laziness, his fancy schmancy predilections, and the fact fuck those guys he put his money where his mouth was and fought fascist in the Montenegrin campaign.

Just past the halfway point for #FavCharacterAtoZ at #FavCharacterN. Mine comes from a videogame franchise that might be my favorite solo game.

Nathan Drake witty, intelligent, charismatic hero of the Uncharted series.

The importance of Nobby Nobbs as a Discworld character cannot be overstated. The ...guy... has it all. He could be a king. The rightful king of Ankh Morpork. Almost rightful, let's gowith almost. Or the Dowager Duchess of Quirm, in a pinch. He's your guy if you have a battlefield in need of looting. He's inscrutable. And he's the best example by opposition you could hope for your new recruits.

@ami_angelwings #FavCharacterAtoZ #FavCharacterN Nell, the main protagonist of The Diamond Age: or, a Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer, by Neal Stephenson. The story begins with her as a small thete child, thetes being the global underclass of slum-dwellers who do not belong to any of the networked phyles which dominate the planet following the collapse of nation-states, and provide a pool of cheap itinerant labor for them. Here's a description of the background situation: https://teaearlgreyhotblog.wordpress.com/2018/03/28/neal-stephenson-the-diamond-age/
As a child, Nell accidentally receives a pirated copy of an interactive nanotech primer/storybook which a member of the aristocracy of the Neo-Victorian phyle had designed for his granddaughter. The primer was designed as a tutor/mentor to cultivate a child to adulthood, and under its influence Nell is drawn out of her slum and, as she grows into young adulthood, navigates life in the Neo-Victorian phyle and the complexities of inter-phyle politics. In particular, she is caught up in the struggle between a world order which depends on the global enforcement of intellectual property accords to prevent technologies of abundance like nanotech matter compilers from destroying capitalism, and a guerrilla movement which seeks to liberate them from artificial scarcity.

Kira Nerys (but as you've stated it could easily tie with Nyota Uhura and Natasha Yar). I mean, it's Kira. Character development, her and Odo (I will die on this hill), and Nana Visitor has a smile that could light up the alpha quadrant.

Also the Mirror version probably awakened something in many people (not least myself) :blobcat_cute:

I had this character ready to go as well:

Ijichi Nijika, from Bocchi the Rock!

The founder and bandleader of Kessoku Band, she plays the drums. The way she approaches and befriends the main character absolutely melted my heart when I watched the anime. Kind, patient, persistent but not pushy. Every socially awkward person should be so blessed as to have a Nijika in their life.

Also the reason I say "them" at the beginning is that while it's often been pointed out how feminine and gender ambiguous Near looks (esp in the future), the TV series actually goes a step further and Near is played by a woman and their gender is deliberately left ambiguous, which is also another reason I like them as a character.

My #FavCharacterN is probably going to surprise people b/c I never talk about liking this series (cuz I don't really) but I do like them probably b/c they reflect my own opinion on the pro/antagonist.

It's Near from Death Note. The one who beat Light. He's not the smartest of any of the mains (L, Light, even Mello), but he lacks the ego all of them have. He's practical (he's only playing by L's rules b/c he feels he owes him that much), & most importantly, he doesn't regard Light as special (which was L's problem). As he says, Light isn't a god, he's just a serial killer who happens to have the most powerful weapon on Earth & knows the rules while nobody else does. Near even makes Light realize it when he shows that Kira's followers care about money more than their god.

My favorite character for N is Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Nausicaa was a formative anime for me.

Nausicaa is a role-model, an interesting character who is intelligent, compassionate, and willing to fight for what she believes in.

I enjoyed the story of Nausicaa greatly in both the Anime and the Manga. Highly Recommended.

I first watched it in Japanese with no subtitles. I later found the translated manga and the evil that is Warriors of the Wind.
