I adore sidekicks...
Feb. 9th, 2007 05:37 pmFrom fajrdrako: Who are your five favorite sidekicks?
1) Ivan Vorpatril. Miles Vorkosigan's -- well, I was going to say comic relief, but he's a lot more than that, and Miles really doesn't *need* comic relief. At any rate, Ivan is Essential.
2) David Todros. Ramses Emerson's quasidoppelganger and partner in crime.
3) Samwise Gamgee. Who is the *real* hero of LOTR, IMHO. At least of the movie version.
4) Hermione Granger. Although I can't figure out what she sees in Ron Weasley.
5) One of the reasons I love interconnected romance novels is that often the hero or heroine from one novel is the sidekick in the next, or vice versa. My favorite example of this is the MacKade Brothers books by Nora Roberts. So, a collective fifth [g].
