hikarunogoGiven all the recent panfandom discussion about misogyny, Mary Sues, and female characters, I thought we could have a meta thread this week about the female characters of Hikago.
Although Hikago is dominated by male characters, we do see quite a few female characters in the series, and there have been a small smattering of fics that have attempted to develop and create backstory for these characters.
First a poll:
* Although Oka is actually a male character, several people in the fandom have written the character as female, which is why the name is included on the list.
Reply in the comments about why you like these characters! Link to favorite fics that feature them! Think of potential fic ideas featuring these characters!
Thoughtful discussion about why you don't like the way a particular character is written will be allowed, but please, no character bashing.
(Plans for community activity in the future, just so you all know what to expect: we will alternate between commentfic(/art/icon/FST/etc.) fests and meta threads every Friday. Next Friday will see the return of the team competition, Hokuto Cup style! Feel free to start recruiting for your teams in advance...)
