Ode to Side Caharcetrs

[polarissruler]

They appear only for one chapter/episode/level. Their moments are so far and in between, that you can count them on a single hand. Yet whenever they show up, you can't hold yourself, because, "Wow! They are back!" They are more interesting than the main characters, or more powerful, or more enjoyable. Their stories might be just as exciting to see, but they are not the focus. Which are your favourite side characters, which you would have loved to see more of?

While I can't complain about lack of screentime for Mastema (all of his fight have been amazing, especially the first one), Uriel could have used a bit more appearances. After his big plot twist was revealed, he had exactly two appearances where he wasn't a prop at the background. And while he didn't die without a very flashy fight, his character left a lot of things unrevealed.


Well, what side character do you want to see in a leading role the most?

Aftran and Loren from Animorphs.

I'm rereading Wheel of Time right now where there are about one million semi-major characters, so that's kind of a hopeless question, but some relatively-minor characters that have stood out to me on this readthrough are Sarene (White Ajah Aes Sedai, writes poetry, will have a tempestuous love affair), Takima (Brown Ajah Aes Sedai, knows the esoteric war regulations). And some slightly-more-major characters I want more about are Asmodean (bad guy, sort of has the beginnings of a redemption arc before dying mysteriously) and Aludra (fireworks technician).

I agree on Aftran and Loren, and would like to add Toby Hamee to the list.
