Oh, I could SO talk about that in regards to Mr. Paul "I'm going to snog my boyfriend rotten in public in the bar and then conceal my sexuality to anyone in-bar who asks" Varjak. ¬_¬
How very, very, very self-righteous Medusa can be.
Marlowe...his ego. He's smarter than (almost?) everyone he knows/has known, and therefore he is right. All. The. Time. Also, his constant pushing away of people. He's not the best friend in the world, really.
James' inability to take a joke (at least when he's twelve/thirteen). He gets irritated (outright angry, if he's already in a bad mood) if anyone even looks like they're mocking him at all. This is a mildly disturbing change from Wes. D:
River: There are times when I wish to God she was better at articulating her feelings. She has an excuse for being terrible at it, sure. But she still is, and it means that in any kind of argument or discussion of that kind of thing she gets frustrated really fast. And her getting frustrated does not help her eloquence and patience, and does not help the discussion be useful to anyone.
Lan: Hee. Um. I have to pause here to sort out the unhealthy or unhelpful ones that don't actually annoy me, but just make me facepalm at him affectionately. (Like the arrogance. And the self-destructiveness. And the lack of any sense of humor.) Mostly what I'm coming up with are things that make me say "Oh, Lan, you moron," and attempt to (metaphorically) pat his head through the computer monitor.
Maybe how seriously he takes everything. I love him for it, but it also limits a lot how much I can involve him in any kind of crack-plot or Wacky Hijinks.
He's also very judgmental. It's very much a product of his culture and his life, in many ways -- Lan himself is utterly a product of his culture, really -- but still. He's very dismissive of what he sees as "foolishness," which is a lot of things, and he has no tolerance at all (except calculated pretense of it) for anyone on Team Evil.
Ooo, I've got one! If I can word it clearly enough, anyway.
In the video game Psychonauts, the main character gains the power of clairvoyance. That is, he can see how other people see him. For example, one of the counselors sees him as a baby, complete with pacifier, one of the bullies sees him as a punching bag, etc.
So, how does your pup see the characters closest to him/her/it? Do they see everyone the same way? How have your pup's views changed about certain characters over time?

Alas, the captions chosen for the finalists aren't very funny. So can you come up with something better?

Ben Winchester - inferiority complex. But I am working him out of it, hopefully.

Cyrus O'Dell is a bit of a sexist and politically incorrect.
