Find That Dynamic Meme
You know the sort of character dynamic you want to play out: you want to ship your shy bookworm with a more rough-and-tumble character. You want to play your older adventurer character taking a spunky up-and-comer under their wing. You want a social butterfly to teach your robot what love is.
Now you just need to find the other half of the equation.
The idea behind this meme is to strip away the pressures and biases that come with unfamiliar names and icons to make it easier to find exactly what you want by leaving the important fundamentals of your characters and what makes them click.

OFFERED CHARACTERS:
1. Grumpy, scatterbrained witch woman who lives in solitude; solves her problems by turning them into frogs, for the most part. A curse separated her from her family when she was a kid and she's been trying to break it ever since. Even though she treats everyone harshly, she's got good intentions deep down.
2. Bright-eyed teenage superhero completely awed by superhero culture, very black-and-white morality, focused completely on being able to help and rescue people, headstrong and bullheaded, outgoing, thinks he's much funnier than he actually is.
SOUGHT CHARACTERS/DYNAMICS:
1. I'd love to see her become a mentor to a younger magic user, especially someone else with deadish family members. Also, I'd like to play her off other grumpy witches.
2. Quieter, more down-to-earth characters as friends or love interests, especially other superheroes, and especially characters who are a little more morally gray.
PREFERENCES: Not looking for any ships with character 1. M/M and M/F for character 2 are both fine. Prose preferred but action brackets are also okay.
