"Yeah, the writers handled N with a lot more dignity than some woobie!villain creators." N's a really good character. I'm baffled as to how he managed to turn up in a Pokemon game. o_o (For all that I love the series... it isn't known for its complex characters.)
"Yep, and she resisted it hard. XD" Hardcore-Tsundere!Azula for the win. :P Perhaps she's related to Severa on her father's side.
"And I've stumbled on some woobie!Gangrel fics on tumblr which gave him a weepy past with a Dead Mom. Didn't see any True Love fics starring him yet, though..." To be fair, I can see Gangrel having SOME sort of embittering past. He talks like a character who should. But weepy!MY PARENTS ARE DEAAAD!Gangrel just sounds ridiculous. *weird look at fics* (Oddly, FE handled Nergal's tragic past without falling into that trap. Mostly because it was almost completely off-screen with truckloads of inferred material, and the tragedy of his present-day self was not ~HOW BROKEN HE WAS~ but rather how he literally lacked the understanding to comprehend how far he had fallen.)
