Character thing- A whole load to think about- Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright, Jo Grant, Liz Shaw, Brigadier, Turlough, Donna Noble, Marty Mcfly, Beth March, Jamie (from Love Actually) Don't have to do all of them if you don't want to :D

SO many lol! OK, let’s go :)

Ian Chesterton

favorite thing about them - he’s intelligent, cares about other people (especially those he likes/loves of course), brave and . of course - handsome :). 

least favorite thing about them - hmm… don’t know really… maybe that he didn’t kiss Barbara when still in the Tardis so we could see it? ;D

favorite line - “It died a slow and painful death when those bats came out of the rafters. “ when answering Doctor’s “Where’s your spirit of adventure?” :D (well I don’t know maybe I could find some others, more serious but I can’t think of anything right now)

brOTP - hmm, can’t think of any to be honest, I mean they surely became friends with Doctor or Susan or Vicki but not not in that brOTP way I think so… *shrugs* don’t know

OTP - yeah , guess who lol. (Barbara of course :) )

nOTP - ummm… anyone else than Barbara? :D

random headcanon - he found a music room in the Tardis and went there from time to time to listen to all songs by The Beatles (and that’s how he knows Ticket to Ride, because they left in 1963 and Ticket to Ride is from 1965 :) ) (I actually this included in one fanfiction but is in hard WIP now and probably won’t be written soon so… yeah, just saying :) )

unpopular opinion - ?? I’m really bad at this point because I mostly have no idea what could be unpopular opinion, so don’t know. 

song i associate with them - Ticket to Ride of course lol what else! 

favorite picture of them - all of them? ok, so some close-ups with his great smile are always pleasure but I really like this one, it’s like portrait in the biography book or something :)

Barbara Wright

favorite thing about them - oh, as if I didn’t write this many times before… Well, she’s clever, confident, most positively down to earth (is that the right expression?), courageous, ready to help literally anyone in need… 

least favorite thing about them - maybe looks a bit too serious sometimes, though travelling on the alien ship is not much fun sometimes mostly so one can’t blame her I guess :) (or maybe it’s just my impression, don’t know)

favorite line - to be true I don’t know. (I looked at your answer and the one you listed is a good one, though I couldn’t think of anything of my own)

brOTP - I guess here goes the same answer as I wrote to Ian

OTP - with Ian of course who else

nOTP - and again I can’t think of anything in particular just “anyone else than Ian” lol (sorry for stupid answers!)

random headcanon - she goes to Tardis library to borrow some books to read before sleep

unpopular opinion - don’t know if it’s unpopular opinion (well it would by some people I guess), but I think she’s probably the best companion that the Doctor ever had.

song i associate with them - no particular song, rather some classical music

favorite picture of them - hard to choose, but let’s say this one

(maybe I could rather put the rest under the cut, since it would be too long post lol)

Jo Grant

favorite thing about them - she’s very friendly and warm-hearted and also ready to help anyone

least favorite thing about them - hmm… I don’t know… (guess that’s what I would answer by all of them lol, sorry!)

favorite line - (uh I probably shouldn’t have make this I’m such a crap with answering!)… I just don’t know… 

brOTP- the Doctor! (Third Doctor of course)

OTP - well not quite OTP but I shipeed her a bit with Mike Yates when watching Three era

nOTP - the Doctor

random headcanon - she tends to decorate Tardis interior either thematically like seasonal or something, or just randomly just trying to make “look nice” :)

unpopular opinion - She’s not stupid! (I think that would be unpopular opinion by lots of people who didn’t watch enough (or rather any) story with Jo)

song i associate with them - (guess what. Yeah, I don’t know). But probably something from 60′s (though she is 70′s companion)

favorite picture of them - 

Brigadier 

favorite thing about them - his patience with the Doctor perhaps lol

least favorite thing about them - trying to shoot at almost anything unknown

brOTP - the Doctor (Three)

OTP - none

nOTP - to be honest probably anyone %D

random headcanon - hm, I don’t think I would have some headcanons about Brigadier

unpopular opinion - again, no idea

song i associate with them - “Holding out for a Hero” by Bonnie Tyler (because of this fanvid :) )

favorite picture of them - I tried to find some nice pics with Brigadier’s “one eyebrow up” expression but I’m not patient enough so this is the best what I found before I ran out of my patience 

Liz Shaw

favorite thing about them - she is smart, confident and knows what she wants from her life

least favorite thing about them - she should have stayed longer (but that’s not her fault but makers of DW)

favorite line - ahem… *whispers* I don’t know… *runs away*

brOTP - Third Doctor :)

OTP - none

nOTP - don’t know, well surely not The Doctor or Brigadier

random headcanon - she started to wrote a diary when she was at UNIT (or returned to writing a diary, I imagine she would wrote it as a little girl too)

unpopular opinion - she’s not a flat character that is there only to look nice

song i associate with them - can’t think of anything sorry…

favorite picture of them

Turlough

favorite thing about them - don’t know if it makes sense as an answer to this question, but I relate to Turlough very much - surely the most of all companions

least favorite thing about them - his selfishness I guess? (but it’s again one of the things I can see I have in common with him)

favorite line -  in Big Finish audio Singularity when the Doctor asked him where his sense of adventure was, he answered “Back in the TARDIS. In a box marked ‘sense of adventure.” (reminds me a bit of what I listed here by Ian as a favourite line, though it’s not the reason I like it, I actually heard this before I started to watch One era)

brOTP - the Doctor, Nyssa

OTP - none (I used to listed Five/Trulough though even back there it wasn’t OTP to every detail, it was rather like very close friends with maybe some occasional cuddle somewhen)

nOTP - actually probably anyone lol

random headcanon - he goes to music room in the Tardis too, listening to Doors.

unpopular opinion - ?? again don’t know what could be unpopular opinion. Probably just the fact that he can someone’s favourite companion could be unpopular to some lol

song i associate with them - People are strange by Doors

favorite picture of them

Donna Noble

(wow, NuWho character, I mean it’s SO LONG that I watched some NuWho and even longer when I saw something with Donna lol. Ok, let’s try.)

favorite thing about them - the way she could enjoy things (or at least travelling with the Doctor) (I don’t know that’s what I remember %D)

least favorite thing about them - maybe bit too chatty sometimes? 

favorite line - “Don’t you ever change?” (not sure if it’s exactly like that, also maybe I would think of something else back years ago but that’s what come to my mind now; you know when they reunited and Donna noted that the Doctor has even the same suit on lol)

brOTP - the Doctor of course

OTP - none

nOTP - the Doctor (I guess it must be boring to read my answers? %D)

random headcanon - the Doctor made her forgot but Donna actually wrote a diary so one day when she finds it and read it she would remember all the travelling

unpopular opinion - don’t know if it’s unpopular opinion (but I think there were such thoughts among some fans I was around at the time long ago that would thought that - I mean they would thought the opposite, ok, I probably confused you completely, anyway!) - She’s not the first companion to tell the Doctor frankly when she didn’t like something he was doing. (yup, that was Barbara)

song i associate with them - probably nothing in particular

favorite picture of them

Marty McFly

favorite thing about them - well I think he’s pretty quick-witted (just found it in the dictionary, such a weird word!) and also that he learns his lesson at the end of the trilogy :)

least favorite thing about them - Jennifer (oops, sorry, Marty, I never quite liked her…)

favorite line - “Oh. One other thing. If you guys ever have kids, and one of them, when he’s eight years old, accidentally sets fire to the living room rug… go easy on him.“ (I mean, yeah, Marty nothing suspicious about it lol)

brOTP - dr. Emmett Brown of course

OTP - none actually 

nOTP - Jennifer. She’s just… I don’t know. Probably badly written %). I mean I used dislike her much more years ago and much less during rewatching lately but still… 

random headcanon - it’s weird (considering how big part of the fandom universe in my head BttF have been since the very first watching it) I probably have no headcanons. (maybe I sometimes imagined some better girl for him, though probably nothing more detailed)

unpopular opinion - ?? Maybe the thing I don’t think they fit together with Jennifer?

song i associate with them - Back in Time from the original soundtrack of course :)

favorite picture of them - all of them! ;D

Beth March (from Little Women, for the case someone didn’t know)

favorite thing about them - she’s very loving, caring, skilful and hardworking

least favorite thing about them - I guess she thought bit too much about everyone else and too little about herself (in various meanings of this)

favorite line - hmm, I don’t know, it’s rather whole scenes with her than some particular line.

brOTP - Jo March :)

OTP - eh, none I guess… but she could actually be such a great partner to anyone (well seen in the simplest way that she was such an angel; not everyone would deserve her though!)

nOTP - no one particular

random headcanon - I don’t think I had any…

unpopular opinion - oh that question again. Well I don’t know %D

song i associate with them - I think there was some song that reminded me of Beth but I can’t remember now. 

favorite picture of them - it’s a character from book so this is a bit tricky, nevertheless I wanted to find some nice pics from 1994 movie adaptation because Claire Danes is such a lovely Beth, but I couldn’t find any nice one (through Google and I’m lazy trying to find elsewhere or just go and screenscap some now), so hopefully you’ll forgive me there won’t be any picture by this character :) (I’d probably choose some picture with Beth by piano if there were some :) )

Jamie (from Love Actually)

favorite thing about them - he seems to be very nice and kind person

least favorite thing about them - maybe too kind sometimes? :)

favorite line - “ It’s lovely-lovely to see you all… and, er… I’m off, actually.” :D (I don’t know it by heart, I searched for it :) )

brOTP - can’t think of any

OTP - Aurelia of course lol!

nOTP - don’t know

random headcanon - he later wrote a book about his meeting Aurelia and it became bestseller :)

unpopular opinion - ?? (didn’t even answer this point at least once? lol)

song i associate with them - “Alone again” by Gilbert O Sullivan but probably only because he himself (sort of) mentioned it in the movie %D (no, not really, it just came to mind with this point)

favorite picture of them

(this is pretty random, I just choose from few pics that came out after googling “Jamie Love Actually” lol but I liked this picture the most :) )

Aaand.. that’s all! Yay! :)

Thanks for asking! (I’m not good at trying to express what i like or don’t like about something or someone but from time to time it could be a good exercise I guess :) )
