*Takes you by the shoulders* I ADORE character profiles and character trivia and likes and dislikes sections. I love knowing this ruthless, heartless, cruel man of a character has a childish dislike for mandarin oranges. I believe in the inherent beauty of making all characters, no matter the background or moral stance, being made fundamentally human by assigning them insignificant culinary preferences. I stand by the supremacy of humanizing villains by giving them relatable tastes and trivial interests and ordinary hobbies. I treasure the hidden reminders that everyone is inherently human even when everything else we know about a character might suggest the contrary.
Here’s the character you’ve only ever known as cruel and violent. All you know him for is mercilessly slaughtering the protagonist and his friends. He looks heartless and inhuman, and seems one with the shadows. He’s the incarnation of a nightmare.
By the way, he likes antiques. His favourite food are figs, the fruit you find in summer, the one you might recall eating with your family on a warm evening, all sugary and sweet. His favourite drink is tea. He dislikes bonsai trees, he’s scared of dogs, and he doesn’t like taking baths. His blood type is A, and he’s 172cm tall. He’s made of blood and bones, like you and me.
