Writer's Block: Going boldly

[chanter1944]

[Error: unknown template qotd] Oh my goodness, what a question to ask a gigantic Trek geek! :) Believe it or not, I wouldn't say Sariel Rager; I'm much too loud and outgoing to be her. I still <3 her, though. I'd say Geordi La Forge for a number of reasons, only one of which is the blindness thing, but I'd like to keep my gender the way it is. Eh, call it an alternate universe? I essentially am Sonya Gomez in personality already, so it's really a toss-up between Geordi and Sonya.

Maybe this is a ridiculous question, but why in the world do you have such an affinity for Sariel? She was in all of 4 episodes, and had a total of something close to 6 lines. No background, no dialogue ("Yes sir," doesn't really count as dialogue).

Shed some light on this? I'm a huge Trek fan, and I don't get it...

Believe it or not, the fact that she was such a minor character is part of the reason I have such an affinity for her. I'm forever drawn in by the characters most people barely look twice at; you'll notice that one of my two actual choices in that writer's block answer was another character only seen in a handful of episodes. As for Sariel herself? ... The only semi-sensible way I can put this is I couldn't get the minor character who, unlike quite a few others, survived a horrible situation out of the back of my head. Still can't. :)

If you're interested, I play her at milliways_bar, and needless to say she's got a Millicanon backstory over there, not to mention a more detailed personality, drawing off what we see of her in canon. visible_sariel is her journal.
