#i adore them both
“I must mention here that however swanky the hotel, people can’t help looking at HBC. Young and old smile and nudge each other.
And if HBC notices, she smiles back. HBC, I realise, must be one of the most recognisable people in the world. Later, on a street shoot with HBC, in Camden, everyone – and I mean everyone – recognises her and is thrilled to see her.
People grin and she grins back. Blokes whoop from vans and she whoops back. One bloke yells, ‘Wey-hey,’ at the top of his voice and HBC shouts, ‘Wey-hey,’ back at the top of hers. It’s like being on a sleepover with an exciting, fun-loving new best friend who’s not scared of her parents.”
Nina Stibbe on Helena Bonham Carter (2015)

Name the Critical Role PC!
An anxious young person who recently left their home to learn more about their magical powers. They also have a parental figure off the same mechanical class as them, who went missing at sea and was an admired leader, whom they hope to imitate. They even adopt aspects of that parental figure’s presentation.
When travelling with their adventuring party, they act as a moral core, standing firm in their beliefs. Over the course of their adventures, they acquire a Vestige of Divergence devoted to the Wildmother, through a series of convoluted events involving an ancient dragon. They become one of the most powerful and versatile members of their party, capable of healing, dealing damage, tanking, support casting.
During their travels, the prankster of the group attempts to romance them, and they initially turn them down but later come to terms with their own feelings. After a close scare, when they realise that they could lose the prankster sooner than they thought, they enter into a romantic relationship.
They gain confidence over the course of the campaign, growing into their leadership role. Their missing parental figure was found alive and well on an island in the Lucidian Ocean, and the two were happily reunited. They end the campaign with this PC fully taking on the mantle of leadership, with their parental figure happily following their lead and settling into retirement.
