Lina^^

Jade from Tales of the Abyys

+ OTP for them: Lina/Gourry, naturally!

+ Runner-up pairing: Lina/Zelgadis.

+ Honorable mention(s): Lina/Naga

+ Crack pairing(s): Lina/Sylphiel

+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't (alternately: ship I like that everyone else seems to hate): Lina/Xellos. I guess I can see the appeal of it as a pure crack ship; but I don't see how it can be a serious OTP.

I'm actually shipper-neutral on Jade. It's kinda hard to ship a man who's, like, at least 10 years older than most of the main cast. :P

Can I have another Abyss character? Sorry to dodge your question. But I honestly can't think of ANYTHING for Jade! I'm even drawing a blank on crack ships! ^_^;

Yeah that's fine.

How about Natalia then?

Thank you!

+ OTP for them: Guy/Natalia

+ Runner-up pairing: Ash/Natalia. I was actually torn on whether or not to put Ash in the #1 spot. They seem to have a genuine connection. But I picked Guy because Ash's constant got tiresome by the end of the game and the "kissing cousin" thing is kinda squicky (doesn't matter that they're not blood related. They grew up thinking that they were)

+ Honorable mention(s): I dunno...maybe Jade/Natalia? Jade would make a pretty good king. LOL

+ Crack pairing(s): Tear/Natalia. Cuz...it's hot, I suppose (it's a crack ship, it doesn't have to make sense!)

+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't (alternately: ship I like that everyone else seems to hate): I haven't delved deep enough into the fandom to know which ships are popular. But I'd have to say Natalia/Anise because Anise is way too young to date ANY of the main characters besides Ion.

I kind of like Lina/Xellos in a way but the first is a no brainer!

[steamage.livejournal.com]

I was going to pick Lina, but since someone already did it... GOURRY! Heheheheh.

[brendala.livejournal.com]

+ OTP for them: Gourry/Lina

+ Runner-up pairing: Gourry/Zangulus (c'mon, we all know that Zangulus wanted him LOL)

+ Honorable mention(s): tie between Gourry/Sylphiel and Gourry/Zelgadis

+ Crack pairing(s): Tie between Gourry/Valun and Gourry/Lord of Nightmares

+ Ship I like that everyone else seems to hate: Amelia/Gourry. It surprises me that there's no fanbase for this ship because I actually think it could happen if somehow Lina and Zelgadis were out of the picture. Gourry and Amelia have great chemistry in the few episodes where they spend a lot of time alone together. And Gourry's knight in shining armor look and mentality seems like something she'd be into.
I'm not saying it could (or should) happen in the series proper. I'm just saying it would make for interesting fanworks and, if Gourry were to hook up with anyone besides Lina, Amelia seems like a more logical choice than Sylphiel.

I hear ya on Anise. Unless a story made her older, she's too young to be in a relationship, except for Ion and possibly Florence (the next fon master Replica.)
