@seekjustice Oooh. .  *rubs hands* I love atypical character types.

This is partly just me, but I like seeing male characters that are feeling types. (I love my INFP boi don’t anyone dare touch him except to hug him.) *cough* But yes, seeing more guy characters that feel deeply would be lovely! A teen guy devoted to his baby sister and who loves showing her off. One that cries for the family dog. One that deeply empathizes with those around him. One that shows that muscles do not a true man make. *bounces happily* I love those characters. . .

For female characters. . . I’d love to see more motherly types. I’ve written at length about this on the topic @deeprun started on damsels in distress vs. damsels of destruction, but basically, I’d love more characters that show the gentle power of the motherly girl or woman whose ambience of home creates a safe haven wherever she goes. Whose anger is rarely one of irritation but instead of protection, who defends those she loves in spirit and, if needed, in body. Whose heart is like a warm fire to come to out of the cold rain. Who shows that there’s a power stronger than that contained in a weapon.

Those are just the two I can think of off the top of my head. I’ll see if I come up with any more. 🙂
