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!

1. She's much better at knots than either John or Nancy.

2. She's naturally good at languages, and got a job at the Foreign Office at a secretarial grade. She was very good at her job, and would have had a very sucessful career if she hadn't given it up for marriage and a family.

3. Of all the Walker children, she is the one who looks the most like their mother (I have no idea why I think this, incidentally)

3. Because John obviously looks like the captain, Titty is still at the scrawny stage, Roger is covered with mud and made largely of knees and elbows, and Bridget remains indeterminate.

Good point.

Given that infant!Bridget is said to look like Quuen Victoria, I wonder whether, had she been born twenty years later, she'd have been stuck with the nickname Winnie, since it is a truth universally acknowledged that Modern British Babies all look like Churchill.

Although one of the battier older ladies at church did exclaim, on seeing the vicar's new baby "Aw, bless him, he looks just like the Archbishop of Canterbury" which, given that the poor kid has no eyebrows to speak of, let alone a beard you could lose half of Synod in, was stretching it a bit...
