maybe we should exclude Horo though...actually, what about your "Favorite Side Character" Poll? Take out Horo and Lawrence? ^_^.
Names like.... Nora Enik Amati Mark (the bird lady in volume 3...) names from the Guilds Church characters etc let's start making a list of side characters, because actually, a side characters poll would really be intriguing I think. |

I agree about the fav character, actually suprised we dont have one but there is no need for 2 seperate polls, so Horo will be on it, but if someone wants to list all the characters Ill make the poll.

Agree that you only need one poll for it. The secondary characters can just hope people are generous about their votes . One question I guess if we want to keep the poll anime only. If so I'd suggest:
Horo Lawrence Nora Enik Chloe Marlheit Jacob Weiss Zelen Now if you want to add some characters from Volume 3 then you could add Mark, Amati, Deanna. But since not everyone is reading the translation expect they'd be saved for later if we get a second season.

Yeah. Also, I just realized. Why not a Poll for just side characters? We don't need two polls. Everyone knows Horo would win. And because of that, votes won't go to understanding what people like about the other characters. I really do say forget Horo and Lawrence, and just ask about side characters. One Poll. not two.
As far as the names go, can we have Volume 3+ names as well? I mean...I know some people have only watched the anime, but the Poll should be for those who are actively interested in ALL things S&W, right? So if that's okay....Let's start brainstorming Side Characters that have at least some kind of lasting or important roll. Enik (nora's sheep dog) Deannara (alchemist leader and special too ^_^) Nora (shepherdess who helps smuggle gold.) Zelen (helps Horo and Lawrence understand the currencies scene. Makes a play for Horo ) Yarei (Old merchant friend of Lawrence from Pasroe.) Chloe (anime only character. lawrence's "apprentice" in Pasroe.) etc etc, let's brainstorm names ^_^ EDIT: Actually, what's the acceptable limit for the number of Poll options? |

Long as its a multi-vote poll I don't think its really a problem. Somehow just feel it would be a bit tragic for the leads to get no votes just so its more clear who the popular side-characters are. Combining will let you see the clear domination of the leads and still look a bit down to see how the sides are doing.
Anyways pretty comfortable with my previous list and if we want to add some volume 3 names then it can end up pretty good sized.

Okay, then we'll take Flare's past list, and add in:
Zelen (haha) And then if agreed, some possible Volume 3 chars. Amati Mark Deanna But I still think we should drop Horo and Lawrence...I mean, people might put their vote into the other characters, but you need to remember...most of the characters last for one volume, 2 tops, except for Horo and Lawrence, who remain throughout all the volumes. When do we see Zelen, or Nora (cept side stories 7) make an appearance other than in their respective volume? There is just too much development of Horo and Lawrence to accurately portray them on the same scale as the others. That's why I like the side-char poll idea |

Do we have a complete list yet? Also max number of options is 20. I still think Horo and Lawrence should be on it, I mean they are the main characters, side characters are fine but I want to vote for Lawrence and yes let's keep it anime-only right now.
