All cheap and debonair

Talk to me about supporting characters. When you're supposed to fall for the heroine, and instead it's the second spear-carrier from the left who turns out to have the thorniest moral dilemma or the most fascinating backstory. This happens to me all the time; I can't be the only one. So who are your scene-stealers? Movies, books, operas—your own work—which character roles do you remember long after you've forgotten who played the protagonist?

From my own work, I think Violeta stuck with me far longer than I thought she would. Sticks. Muh. Very sleepy.

Floria/Florian Del Guiz.

Absolutely. I liked Florian de Lacey right off, pretty much from his first entrance, but I was delighted when she turned out to be even weirder than he looked. Angelo Angelotti, too.

I'm very fond of Badger.
