Beka Valentine from Andromeda. Okay...I don't know if you've ever heard of the show so you may be going, 'who--what??' It's a sci-fi show that aired in early 2000. It's probably one of my favorite shows and she definitely is one of my favorite characters of all-time. I feel like you're a strong person--you deal with whatever comes at you. You're honest and just generally, so nice. And you care a lot about the people in your life that matter to you.

Xena/Ares! Yes! It does need to be explored :D. Just thinking about them makes me want to watch their scenes again. They were my first real ship. Ever. I discovered fanfiction through them. I discovered fandom, that there were other fans out there who talked about the show--not only that but my favorite pairing. And the fanfiction :D...I was in heaven.

The chemistry between them was Ah-mazing. I just love, love them. Together and separately. I guess I could start with the aspect of forbidden romance. She left her old world behind her and he embodied everything she wanted/needed to leave behind. And Ares...he was a god and he became obsessed with a mortal, fell in love with her and gave up everything he knew (his power and immortality) so that she could live.

I don't think anyone else could've matched her other than Ares on the show, at least for there was no one else for Xena. I know he did terrible things (like he said, he 'handled her all wrong'). But he was the God of War (for thousands of years)--a selfish and amoral being and he learned to love, to become human.

Yeah, I still love them just as much. :D
