Day Two: Favorite supporting female character: Luna Lovegood




It took me AGES to figure this one out, as I initially made the mistake on focusing on TV characters, and I tend to like enssemble shows, making it hard to figure out exactly who qualifies as a supporting character. Once I rembered the fandom that got me into lj in the first place, the answer was obvious.

Not the most original choice, I'll grant you. Luna seems almost universally beloved by HP fandom (which, given how divisive it can be, is a pretty rare thing), and with good reason. One of the few non-Gryffindor and Slytherin students that get fleshed out, Luna is about as far as you can imagine from the stereotypical Ravenclaw. Sure, she's got a natural curiosity and thoughtfulness, but those tend to be focused on a wonderful world she alone inhabits. She very much marches to the beat of her own drum, is completely unfazed by trivialities like being captured prisoner by Death Eaters, and has more compassion and empathy in her little finger than most of the more traditionally “heroic” characters.

Also, she possesses a certain quality that makes me ship her with everyone. And I do mean everyone, not just HP characters. There is no crossover, no matter how cracky, that wouldn't work with Luna. Go on, just try to imagine one. As far as I'm concerned, there can never be enough Luna crossover fic.

Really, I'm tempted to go through all crossover communities with a fine-toothed comb.
