blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)
It’s got to be the man (gender neutral), the MILF, the legend: Therem Harth rem ir Estraven.
scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)
I have a lot of affection for Estraven’s baby. His 20-year-old son, Sorve. I want good things for him. I want him to be happy.
scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)
It’s gotta be Obsle! He intentionally comes off as like, your loud great aunt who mostly cares about wine. But deeper than that he’s a shrewd politician. And deeper than that? He’s a coward.
glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)
Uth Shusgis and Gaum. They suck! What made them like this?
I also wonder a lot about Vanadke Slose, the religious fanatic. It’s rare that Le Guin has a religious fanatic character be on the “right” side of a major conflict in the narrative. He supports Genly but for all the wrong reasons…
And then the young Karhidish doctor that nurses Genly back to health. Love that guy.
poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)
Ashe Foreth is SUCH a textbook poor little meow meow. I think he cries in both of the scenes he’s in.
Estraven is also my poor little meow meow. My traitor. My everything. My right hand arm man. He has suffered so much.
horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)
It’s got to be Genly. Le Guin created him to Go Through It so he could Learn Things. Love to see him go through cultural misunderstandings on an alien world. Love to see a landlady stick his nose in Genly’s business.
eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)
