Missing: Not Dead discussion

For the first category in our Bookish Academy Awards, we have the nominees for the Best Male Side Character (AKA the Best Supporting Actor).

The Rules:
1. You may nominate multiple characters, but they must be from different books.

2. You may only nominate up to 3 characters, and therefore, 3 books.

3. Try not to nominate characters that show up in sequels (hard, I know) since the voters (us) will have to read the books before voting for the winner. If you really, REALLY, want to, put the character's name and then both the series name and the book in which the character shows up.

The only exceptions to the above rule are Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and any of the spin-offs, the Hunger Games, and any of the other extremely popular series that most of us have already read.

(Yes, even the Mortal Instruments. I am willing to make that sacrifice. BUT NOT THE SPIN-OFFS.)

4. Please keep nominated books relatively age appropriate. If you do want to nominate an NC-17 book, please label it as such next to the title. Titles like Game of Thrones fall semi into this category (from the explicit sex scenes), but just label them as M.

Example: Christian Grey (Fifty Shades of Grey, NC-17)

Jon Snow (Game of Thrones, M)

5. When voting for the top 5 nominees (which we will actually be reading from), try keeping an open mind and vote for ones not your own. Remember that this is mostly for fun and to re-read a whole bunch of books you've already read is a bit boring, to say the least.

If there are any more questions, I'll answer them here and you can nominate the round one candidates here as well.

MY CANDIDATES:

The Marquis de Carabas... from

Mr. Penumbra... from

Nikolai Lantsov... from the Grisha Trilogy, the second book,

(I love him too much to leave him off, even if he is from a sequel.)

Clarification: I have now replaced Best Looking OTP and Best Looking Cast with Best Love Interest and Best Antagonist, so please do not put love interests or antagonists on here.

Gred and Forge Weasley from Harry Potter
*fredandgeorge

Wylan from Six of Crows
*this is kind of a loophole because he's practically a main character he just has no PoV and I like Six of Crows

Dancer from the Seven Realms Series, the first book being The Demon King
*not gonna lie I totally ran out of characters and Dancer is cool

VOILA!

Is Dancer from a sequel in the series? If so, which book?

Nope Dancer appears in book 1 and I believe in the rest of the series too- so just The Demon King.

Thanks!

Janco from Poison Study
( I also just want more ppl to read this bc i liked the series overall, maybe just not this book in particular heh heh)

Brigan from Fire (Graceling realm 2)
*book 1 is mostly irrelevant to book 2
* tbh i dont remember for sure if he's completely a side character

Grimalkin from the Iron Fey (idk if this counts, for Grimalkin is a cat?)
*Grim is cool tho

The only thing that doesn't count is if the character is a main antagonist or is a love interest. Animals are A-OKAY. ;D

Which book from the Iron Fey is Grimalkin from?

And I will not be including Brigan since he is a love interest, but he will have a chance in the love interest category.

can I change that nomination to...

Magnus from the mortal instruments


Grimalkin has appearances throughout the series so just the first book
