I Love Obscure Characters!
🕑 Added 2020-05-26 12:17:23 +0000 UTCI wanna express my love of some obscure characters (some way moreso than others)
- First up, Glyph from Transformers: Animated.
Absolute ball of adorable, I wanna just hug her so much X'3

It saddens me that she was so roundly ignored by the show, but I suppose they didn't have much room for her. She was designed as a literal background character for crowd shots in Cybertron, but the Allspark Almanac (basically background info on the show with bios, world building, in-jokes, upcoming and cancelled toy/story concepts & extra stories) gave her personality & backstory.
She's an archaeologist, and I'd love to, one day, have her study Earth history and go to dig sites with a human partner who she gets... 'close' with <w< ... >w>
- Next, Elastigirl from DC Comics
No, not that one... there was an actual DC superhero called Elastigirl before The Incredibles, name of Rita Farr:

Yes, as that image shows, she's not only got Mr Fantastic powers, she's also canonically got size-altering powers and can become a giantess, which she frequently does. She's probably the most likeable character in the Doom Patrol, acting as Beast Boy's mother for much of his life.
Sadly, she's never appeared in a movie or even an animated TV show to my knowledge, but very recently she was featured in a sorta cameo role in Titans 2018, and is one of the main characters in The Doom Patrol. Unfortunately, they went the body horror route with her character, so instead of just stretching and growing giant, she melts into a puddle of terrifying goo. More's the pity we don't really get a hawt huge lady there :C
Finally, there's Doctor Aphra:

She spends most of her time scrambling from place to place trying desperately not to get killed. She's kinda life's punching bag, and will do anything to survive. Not gonna lie, I love her a lot. She's cute, smart, resourceful, has basically no moral compass and is generally awesome. She really pisses off Darth Vader, who starts out using Aphra as a pawn in his scheme to usurp the Emperor, tries to kill her so she can't rat him out (which she totally would if it was any advantage to her).
But when she saves Palpatine's life, Vader is stuck in the position of not being able to kill her lest the Emperor find out and get the suspicion something's up, but also wanting her dead really badly and really, REALLY hates having this loose end still dangling.
This image sums their relationship up so well: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51Qq5dnIZ4L._SX323_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg
