Via undeadrobins and jo_lasalle – a character meme to send off April!

Give me a character you know I know (if you want), and I’ll tell you:

1. How I feel about this character.
2. All the people I ship romantically with this character.
3. Favourite gen relationship(s) for this character.
4. My unpopular opinion about this character.
5. One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
6. Personal headcanon about this character that you can't convince me is not true.
7. A crack theory about this character that I'm making up just for this meme that is definitely most likely not true.
8. A song or piece of music I associate with this character.

How I feel about this character.
I absolutely love the loyalty he exhibits towards the Black-Cloaked Envoy and Zhao Yunlan! Not too keen on the romance with Guo Changcheng, though, so that puts a damper on my feelings towards him.

All the people I ship romantically with this character.
maggie33 mentioned starting a fic shipping him with Ye Huo, so, him! I didn't think of it before, but it's a cool idea.

Favourite gen relationship(s) for this character.
The people to whom he is loyal: Shen Wei, Zhao Yunlan. The compare and contrast folks: Ye Huo, Zhu Jiu. I'd also be really interested in seeing him deal with Ye Zun after discovering that Ye Zun is the Envoy's twin little brother.

My unpopular opinion about this character.
If he discovered that Ye Zun was the Envoy's brother, his repressed caring-for-a-twin energy would go towards Ye Zun, and Ye Zun would suddenly get a second big brother.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
Him discovering that Ye Zun is the Envoy's twin! I think that with his twin-related hangups, that might've pushed things over the edge to an actual reconciliation, since someone else asking questions and listening to Ye Zun rant (and conveying that to Shen Wei, who might be able to make sense of it and would definitely like a way to stop his brother without kabooms).

Personal headcanon about this character that you can't convince me is not true.
He lurks on several doll forums and might even occasionally post on one, on which he as acquired cryptid status for his odd doll rating methods and general intensity.

A crack theory about this character that I'm making up just for this meme that is definitely most likely not true.
He is really into doll dress-up, and changes his doll's outfit daily. Being him, all of the outfits are black and resemble armor or other fighting clothes. At the end of the day, however, he changes the clothes back into the black cloth Envoy tribute outfit.

A song or piece of music I associate with this character.
