December Daily: DS secondary characters

[resonant]

wychwood -- Favourite Due South secondary character?

Frannie rocks and Welsh is always good for a reality check, but my favorite is Dief, of course!

I love the use that the show makes of him. He's a repository of all necessary skills and abilities; there's nothing you could tell me Dief can do that I wouldn't believe. He and Fraser apparently have a number of long-running arguments, and if you told me that Dief thinks Fraser's understanding of metaphor is fundamentally unsophisticated, I would believe you.

But on the other hand, if you told me that 95% of Dief's thoughts revolve around donuts, I would believe that, too.


Specify a date if you want; otherwise I'll just answer them whenever.

This year, in addition to the usual kinds of questions, I'd also love to get storyish prompts. Storyish meaning you never know what you might get: two sentences of a story, or a description of a story that will never exist, or a love song about how much I like that trope, or a rant about my pet peeve about that trope, or I know nothing about that canon except what I see on social media and here's what I think it might be about, or Ten Reasons Why I Love/Hate/Am Indifferent To that character, canon, or trope, or ...

As always, I'd love to hear about it if you're doing the meme too.

Dief!! I had so much fun writing him, for all the reasons you list.

100% correct, except that I think of him as a primary character.
