Discworld is haaaaaard. Um, this will totally be influenced by the fact that I read Unseen Academicals most recently. But yes.
Lady Sybil Ramkin: Lady Sybil IS. AMAZING. She's so warm-hearted and practical and freaking badass when it counts, and I ship Sybil/Vimes enormously. The city's whole hospital is named after her! FOR GOOD REASON. Someday, I would love a book where Lady Sybil and not Vimes gets to play the major active role - she's completely capable of it, and when Young Sam is a little older you know she will be charging back into the fray. (And now I want to reread Guards, Guards!)
Susan Death: When I was younger I always loved the Susan books best; now I think I love the Guards books a little more, but that does not detract from my belief that Susan is made of pure awesomesauce. I love her development from wannabe-goth teen to most sensible schoolteacher ever, I love the poker under the bed, and every time she and her grandpa have a heartwarming reconciliation I am full of joy.
Glenda Sugarbean: I fell in love with Glenda after reading Unseen Academicals and now she is very high in my heart! I firmly believe that she is going to help rule the city some day. She ignored Mrs. Whitlow and snickered at Ridcully, she gave the Patrician and Lady Margolatta both a piece of her mind, and she makes the best pies in the land; in short, she is a FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH. And everyone had better start learning it.
(Honorable mentions: um, all the witches ever? I did not name any of them because how can I pick just one! Also, Cheery Littlebottom.)
. . . I keep forgetting to actually give canons to other people! Because I suck. Can I do Discworld right back at you?
