Character Defect

Everyone has some small quirk or personality trait that drives their friends and family absolutely mad. However, in writing and movies, a certain quirk can quickly become a character's best known trait, or even better, a fandom's favorite thing about this character.

Even better than a tiny quirk, a characters flaws can become a fangirl's favorite thing about him. A character you love to hate. One perfect example from the Batman series, is The Joker.


Heath Ledger's portrayal of The Joker in The Dark Night Rises has become infamous, the dark and twisted character is the perfect example of a defective character still being incredibly memorable and creative.
