Who would you say is your favorite minor character in your work (i.e. a Red Shirt or background character with less than 10 lines of dialogue)?
Terrence the Earthworm, Spiral Hill's Mud Farmer technically counts, because I'm pretty certain he's either had 3 or 4 lines of dialogue, but you could make the argument he doesn't count because he's A: my fianc茅's character, and B: my fianc茅 wants him to do more things.
I think she had more than 10 lines of dialogue, so she probably doesn't count either, but little Pixie the Butterfly was fucking adorable. She pretty much exists purely because with my time gap between canon and my fics (6 years) none of the Sonic Fan Club kids were young enough for what I wanted in that scene. So I gave the butterfly that looks like Dot from Animaniacs a baby sister.
I'd also have to count how many lines of dialogue he had, but one of my idiot archaeology puppies Brutus the Bulldog appeared way back at the very beginning. My archaeology puppies were banished from my lore for being cringe, but @bitter-sweet-coffee has been encouraging me to bring them back. He might appear again (with his siblings!) At the very end... So he probably doesn't qualify too.
Here's one that probably qualifies: that poor bluebird or blue jay or whatever I said she was working in the coffee shop in the... Second chapter??? The one who watched Fang pour booze into his coffee right there at the counter after she handed it off to him and said nothing because she's probably not paid enough to deal with Fang's bullshit. If she had more than 10 lines to just serve as a means for the Hooligans to find out the Mineral Museum existed I'll be shocked. 馃槀
