Focus on Supporting Characters - a poll!
A while ago we had a suggestion about regular character discussion posts here at sid_guardian. There are so many fantastic characters in Guardian who aren't Shen Wei or Zhao Yunlan, and don't get very much discussion. So we're thinking of kicking off a series of weekly posts focusing on the supporting characters, one by one, starting with the SID team and working out from there. This would be an open venue for questions, meta, squee, links to related fanworks (including self-reccing!), and links to past meta and discussions about our character of the week. Let's give everyone some time in the spotlight!

One question – how do you plan on handling characters whose general stuff is entangled with another character's? E.g. Sha Ya and Hua Yuzhu, or relatives of more central characters.
