Name one character from any fandom I know and I will give you three facts about them from my personal canon.

Fandoms: Harry Potter, Doctor Who (though I reserve the right to do someone else here; I don't know canon well enough for Doctors 5-8 to be confident of being able to do their companions): I'd also be keen to have a crack at: Star Treks TOS and DS9, Dalziel and Pascoe (book canon only, obviously), Life on Mars, Patrick O'Brian, Swallows and Amazons, Narnia, and John Buchan's Richard Hannay-verse.

ETA: and the Wimsey-verse, of course!

Sarah-Jane Smith (version with the third / fourth doctors).

Can I have another one? Please? I can? Oh good!

Jerry - Gerald Wimsey, Viscount St George.

Sarah-Jane:

She is incapable of making a cup of drinkable coffee. It started as self-preservation - she had no desire to spend all her time making coffee while men did the interesting work :) - and became a rather perverse point of pride.

The Doctor was brilliant for many reasons, but one of the most important ones was that he saw her primarily as a person, not a woman or, worse still, a girl.

She never wanted to settle down. Why would you, when there were so many fascinating things out there? Even Aberdeen has its charms, if you aren't stuck there for ever. Love's all very well, but not if it turns you into less than what you were before.

Jerry:

1. Is rather scared of women students; actually, he's rather scared of women, unless they're fluffy, silly and apparently harmless (he has yet to work out that this is a really bad strategy , if you want a quiet and inexpensive life)

2. Once organised a tin tray sledging competition down the staircase by the Hall at the House, and skated right into the Junior Censor.

3. Was a fighter pilot, and, I'm afraid, died in the war. (I'm not sure whether this counts as personal or not, but it's certainly of dubious canonicity)

3. I prefer the version that was entioned on the lordpeter mailing list (archives being much more fun than general discussion) in which he's mistakenly assumed dead, but it's actually Reggie Pomfret, and he chucks in the Dukedom and runs away to Argentina, where he lives happily ever after until his only son is killed in the Falklands conflict, after which he gets in touch with Harriet again after Peter's death, and the two of them have a last fling...

3. Sayers said as much.
