just because i felt like writing another one

hmm, yes, well the entire point of this post is because i felt like writing another person of the moment. my only problem was coming up with a person! then it hit me:


previous persons: Inaba of Urusei Yatsura - Ryuunosuke Fujinami of Urusei Yatsura
Kikyo of Inuyasha - Maggie Mui of R.O.D. the TV - Shinji Ikari of Neon Genesis Evangelion
Miaka Yuki of Fushigi Yuugi - Gene Starwind of Outlaw Star - Jakotsu of Inuyasha
Sousuke Sagara of Full Metal Panic

today's person of the moment is Lars from Girl Genius. Lars is my first person of the moment who isn't an anime character (he's just a regular comic book character :P ) We first meet Lars when he finds Agatha (the comic's heroine) hiding from Zeetha (who is set on training Agatha in the Skifander warrior tradition). Both Lars and Zeetha are members of Master Payne's Circus of Adventure, which is also a traveling Heterodyne show. In the Heterodyne plays, Lars plays the part of Bill Heterodyne, who, incidentally, is Agatha's father (thought Lars didn't know that at the time). Funnily enough, Agatha is cast as her own mother, Lucrezia Mongfish, and plays opposite of Lars. This is how Lars becomes interested in Agatha initially. He really falls for her after he finds out it was she who told the Jagermonsters Maxim, Dimo, and Ognian to go and save him from the weird monsters the circus was being attacked by. I've figured Lars to be somewhere between 23- and 27-years old, as he tells Agatha that ditched his cheesmaker's apprenticeship ten years ago to join the circus. I suppose he could be older, but I just can't see it. Lars's most interesting personality trait is that he's a big fat chicken. He completely loses it at any sign of danger, yet he somehow finds it in him to confront such dangers when he believes Agatha is in trouble. It's really quite sweet. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that Agatha is going to choose her other romantic interest, Gilgamesh Wulfenbach, not only because Agatha met Gil first (rule of shoujo (or any other plot involving romance for that matter) #3, see SUCCESS!!), but also because Lars isn't listed among the main characters on the Girl Genius website, and then there's the fact that Lars isn't a spark (a mad scientist or sorts) like Agatha or Gil. Poor Lars...

on a completely different note, i'll be twenty years old in six days, four hours, and twenty-nine minutes.
