Today’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is Secondary/Minor Characters Who Deserve More Love. Honestly, I feel like I could do more with a list of secondary characters that I think are overhyped (because, believe me, there are quite a few of those). However, I’m still going to give this one a shot, so here’s my list (in no particular order)

1) Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano (Heroes of Olympus, Trials of Apollo)

Reyna is one of my favorite characters Rick Riordan has ever created (standing up there with Annabeth Chase, Sadie Kane, and Leo Valdez), and I will fight for her to be recognized as the amazing character she is. I’ve seen so much fanart for Heroes of Olympus that will include Will and Nico alongside the Seven and not Reyna, which just seems completely unfair because, let’s be honest, Will contributes absolutely nothing to the series. I appreciate him for making Nico happy, but he does not affect the course of the series in any way, whereas Reyna is a central part of the last book. I also feel like Trials of Apollo did Reyna a little dirty (I won’t say why, because of spoilers).

2) Sam al-Abbas (Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard)

Sam is far and away my favorite character in the trilogy, but nobody ever talks about her, which seems unfair because she is an excellent character. She and Alex make the series for me, and honestly I couldn’t care much less about Magnus or any other character.

3) Mr. Lawrence (Little Women)

This is definitely the most unconventional choice on this list, but I absolutely adore Mr. Lawrence in Little Women and absolutely nobody ever talks about him? Honestly, I believe that every character in the book other than Jo is underrated (and that she is incredibly overrated), but that could be the subject of its own post entirely.

4) Isabella Lightwood (The Shadowhunter Chronicles)

I was a little hesitant to call Isabella a secondary character, but, let’s be honest, that’s what she is. She’s my favorite of the Mortal Instruments characters besides Magnus, but I feel like people don’t talk about her enough. She’s just iconic, and I wish we got to see more of her, although I don’t foresee that happening in any future Shadowhunters installements.

5) Catarina Loss and Ragnor Fell (The Shadowhunter Chronicles)

The warlocks are the best things about Shadowhunters, and I will stand by that statement. I believe that Magnus Bane is the best character Cassandra Clare every created, and I feel like he is appropriately appreciated within the fandom, but every other warlock in the series (including Tessa, as well as the ones that are minor characters) is critically underrated. Catarina and Ragnor are both hilarious, and I enjoy every second of their appearances in the series.

6) Lily Chen (The Shadowhunter Chronicles)

Lily is absolutely hilarious and steals every single scene that she is in. She has never had a bad track. I especially love her appearances in Ghosts of the Shadow Market, and I’m excited to hopefully see more of her when The Wicked Powers starts coming out!

7) Biana Vacker (Keeper of the Lost Cities)

Biana is my absolute favorite character in this series and doesn’t get enough attention. That’s really all that I have to say on that.

8) Isadora Quagmire (A Series of Unfortunate Events)

I fell like Isadora often gets overlooked favor of her brothers, which isn’t really fair.

9) Chris Donati (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before)

I love Chris, but I think she often gets ignored when talking about this series because she’s not involved in the romance plotlines nor is she related to Lara Jean. However, I think that she definitely provides an important counterpoint to Lara Jean throughout the series, and I love their friendship dynamic.

10) Vivi Duarte (Folk of the Air)

Vivi definitely has her questionable moments throughout the series, but I still really like her as a character, particularly for the way that she provides such an interesting foil to Jude and Taryn.
