the eighth day

Sorry, this is horribly late, but well, here at last.


Day 8: Three favorite Cartoon Characters


That includes anime, yes? Also includes 3D animation, yes?


1. Maya Wei from Oban Star Racers. Mainly because she died the most tragic way imaginable, as a stepping stone of fate, and yet went to her death with a smile, a sign, that she would be alright. Even if she never would be. It's all we see of her, really. That, and her daughter's constant memory of the mother she seems to admire and love so much.


2. Toph Bei Fong from Avatar: The Last Airbender. She is the personification of unseen (pun not intended!), invisible power. So hard to shake, so immensely powerful within her own fragility. Twelve-year-old girls are the last people you would suspect of being the best Earthbenders in the world. Also, prodigies FTW!!!


3. Shen from Kung Fu Panda 2. OH MAII. The most beautiful, awe-inspiring villain I have ever seen. A peacock who is deadly with a spear...a tragic backstory that involved his parents......who could ask for more... <3
