Original question by: @JoMiran@lemmy.ml
Have you ever read a novel, comic, manga, watched a movie, play, TV show etc., and you found yourself invested in a side character? Ever cared for and felt more intrigued by that side character than the mains? If so, what character was it and what are some.things that make you so interested in them?
Barclay from Star Trek TNG. I didn’t know why at the time. I liked him a lot but everyone on the show was very annoyed with him.
Then I grew up and got diagnosed with anxiety and probably autism, which is basically his main character traits. So, yeah. That’s why little me liked him.
