When the prompt first went up, there was only one character whose first name starts with "I" that I could think of. There have been a number of really great ones posted that I was tempted to glom on to, but... Dance with the fella that brought you.
Who would have guessed (before Jeff Goldblum's casting at least) that a cynical Jewish mathematician would be both the moral center of JURASSIC PARK, and its breakout sex symbol? 🫦

#FavCharacterJJabba Desilijic Tiure
His full name comes from a 1994 role-playing game supplement, GALAXY GUIDE 11, but really he needs no further name than the one originally given to him in 1977...
Jabba the Hutt
No matter how many other Hutts Star Wars introduces us to (and there were a lot of fantastic Hutts in this month's THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU) Jabba will always be THE Hutt. His is such a powerful screen presence; I love him so much.

#FavCharacterKCaptain Kathryn Janeway
I was so close to choosing Kal-El (Clark Kent, Superman). But I think it would be a mistake for me not to have at least one entry devoted to the pop-feminist "girl power" characters of the 1990s, as they were such an important part of my early teenage years. For all the flaws of that era, and of this character specifically, Janeway remains a favorite into adulthood (VOYAGER is one of my "comfort shows" & her return in PRODIGY was a joy).

(This entry IS making me feel a little bad about not picking James T. Kirk for "J" though.)

#FavCharacterLPrincess Leia Organa
I cannot overstate to you how in awe I was when, watching STAR WARS for the first time on VHS at ten years old, I saw Princess Leia take over her own rescue from the well-meaning but ill-equipped trio of Luke, Han, and Chewie. She was everything I wanted to be.
I love her so.

@ceridwenalison foundational. So many friends cite her as an influence.

#FavCharacterMCountess Marya Zaleska, Dracula's Daughter
She has been called online the first lesbian lead character in American cinema (though I find the claim unlikely). She captures the tumult and torment of a closeted existence all too painfully. She is iconic, cloaked alternatingly throughout DRACULA'S DAUGHTER in smoke and shadow. One wishes for an ending where she can know her true power, but as a creation of the Hays Code era, it is tragically not to be.

@ceridwenalison Aren’t you a bit short for a storm trooper? Leia, Ripley, and Sarah Connor. What a trio.

#FavCharacterNNancy Thompson
A list of my favorite characters would not be complete without the presence of a horror movie final girl, and while my all time favorite, Laurie Strode, couldn't beat Princess Leia for the letter L, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET's Nancy Thompson ranks very highly for me and easily deserves this spot.
The impossible position she's put in, fighting a demon in her own dreams, is truly terrifying. That she triumphs (or does she?) is oh so satisfying.

@ceridwenalison this is a great list, and she is truly the best best.
