As our lovely fandom has a plethora of these...

...and we all have our own 'pet' favorite characters, be they extended family members of the Animorphs or the less utilized Villains/Monsters of the Week, and I'm curious to (hopefully) see some discussion over which 'minor' players everyone had they relate to/stuck with them/think deserved their own spin-off or Chronicles/etc.

Five minor or one-off characters that you wish could have gotten more face time. (Or would show up again)

"Sorry about parking a tank on your house, Mr. Chapman; it seemed funny at the time."

Drunk!postwar!Marco would TOTALLY "accidentally" say this to Mr. Chapman. -_^

Just pray he doesn't follow it up with, "But hey, at least we didn't nuke the city that one time."

All reasons why I'm convinced famous!postwar!Marco required a handler- he probably intentionally drove crazy- to do clean-up PR for him lol.

Someone shut write a fic from his handler's POV about the ridiculous things Marco says.

I would totally read that.

Even before then, imagine the debrief after ~3 years of, well, a deadly serious but also seriously weird alien invasion. I mean...can you imagine the meltdown? Just off the top of my head:

-- (17) ...and the crazy suicidal guy told us that Yeerks are vulnerable to instant maple and ginger oatmeal...
-- (24) ...and so we saved the world from the smallest and most annoying race ever, using the great power of the anteater...
-- (25) ...so some of them might still be wandering the Arctic, BTW...
-- (30) ...and then I came up with a plan to push my mother off a cliff...
-- (35) ...so we drove a well-liked local celebrity insane...

I mean, there are so many random loose threads! I wonder if Cassie ever apologized to the guy whose sweater she stole in the godawful Australia book? I feel like someone who threw that kind of fit over lost prunes wouldn't let it go just because the thief happened to be saving the world at the time.
