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)

1. Rachel's extended family, specifically Naomi and Jordan --- but Jordan NOT in a Mary!Sue/extra Animorphs role. I'm sure there's a universe that can be well done in, but I've sadly yet to read it. And if you ever read my fic at all, this is probably rather obvious because I love to use Jordan to observe Rachel at various parts of the series for some reason.

2. Taylor --- she's somewhere between evil in one half and crazy in the other, but there had to be something else to her first that made her who she is in-series. How was someone so 'popular' that vulnerable? How did her family view her betrayal? Etc.

3. David's parents --- it's weird, but even my first time through the series I wanted to know on some level that they didn't spend the rest of forever waiting for their son to one day make it home.

4. Tom--- mainly before Jake was aware of his situation, but a sideline story involving someone continuing to appear to be living their own normal life for years while being enslaved so close/overlapping with one of the main Anis would have been fascinating. (If the fic(s) exist and anyone has recs, that would be wonderful!)

5. Eva --- the woman's character potential is WOAH, and thanks to lisacharly's The Husk (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6168085/1/The_Husk), I will never be able to have enough of her ever again in fandom. -_^

Props to Jordan but not as an extra Animorph.

No recs for Tom fic, but a chronicle from Tom/his Yeerk's POV would have been seriously awesome.

Clearly, I agree with you on the Eva. But how could anyone not?!

I read a Tom/Yeerk fic aggggggges ago. Like, 1998 or 1999 or 2000. I wish I could remember the name. It probably wasn't that good either but in my pre-teen eyes, it was golden

Isn't it sad when those were never as sparkly and wonderful as you remember them being? *sigh*
