#because lori

Today’s prompt is “favorite human character.” I was able to narrow it down to two.

Given I’ve drawn Alexis in like 12 different artstyles at one point, this was kind of an obvious choice. Also, her being the first POV character I used in a Transformers fanfiction probably says something for where she is on my list.

Alexis has often been one of the easier Transformers humans for me to relate to. Her reactions to things often mirrored what I felt mine would have been at her age, had I been more comfortable expressing myself. 

It definitely felt like she was set up as a bit of an audience surrogate, but on top of that, the majority of her emphasis being that she’s the brainy one rather than the empathetic one (which was largely Rad for the Mini-Cons) was interesting to me. Interestingly enough, she does seem to develop more empathy through her friendship with Starscream.

The other one I’ve chosen is Lori from Transformers: Cybertron. She doesn’t really get the chance to start shining until the Jungle Planet episodes, but she definitely makes an impact once she does. She’s got a great dynamic with Override, but there’s also something to be said for someone who sticks up for what she believes in even against Scourge, as well as out-planning Thunderblast, who was no slouch herself.

As a child, I think Lori was more what I would have liked to have been, rather than what I actually was.
