The Best Thing About Writing Red Dwarf Fanfic That Follows The Show And Starts Before Legion Is That

The best thing about writing Red Dwarf fanfic that follows the show and starts before Legion is that you just *know* your readers are sitting there holding hands and trembling with excitement while they wait for *that* chapter.

Excuse you where is the hat?

Series XI & XII Rimmer if he was still green

Felt like talking about my Red Dwarf OC. Ask me anything, I dare you.

Name: Persephone (but everyone calls her Sephy or Seph. The only person who thinks of her as Persephone is Rimmer, but he'd never admit it in a million years.)

Height: 5'4" (I think. She comes up to Rimmer's shoulder, that is my frame of reference.)

Hair Colour: Red. Like, a lot of red, red hair.

Eye Colour: Brown.

Likes: Playing piano, horse riding, reading, Greek mythology, Audrey Hepburn films, eating cheese straight out of the packet, Rimmer.

Dislikes: Being wrong, not getting the last word, spiders, Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, Rimmer (it's complicated.)

Outfits: Sephy is usually seen in oversized JMC uniforms. Her trousers are obviously mens, they gape at the waist and she has to roll the cuffs up several times in order to stop them dragging on the floor. She also wears a grey tank top and a JMC shirt. It turns out she's wearing Rimmer's old uniform.

Sephy also wears a red strapless dress in the Timeslides chapter and a green fifties style cocktail dress in The Last Day chapter.

Misc: Sephy was found in the stasis pod of a derelict, and has no memory of her life before regaining consciousness on Red Dwarf. Rimmer was the one who started calling her Persephone, although why he named her after the Greek Goddess of Spring and the Queen of the Underworld nobody knows, or seems to have even asked at this point. Even he doesn't know, or would rather not think about it.

Sephy has zero emotional awareness or control. Most of her strong emotions come out as anger, which is usually bad news for any objects not stuck down when she's pushed.

Sephy can play piano by ear, although she cannot play Flight of the Bumblebee. When she's frustrated or upset she will repeatedly attempt to play it, and start all over again if she makes a mistake. The boys usually draw straws to decide who has to go make her stop when this happens.

Sephy also smokes when she's upset or angry. She usually steals them from Lister, but respects Rimmer's no smoking signs.

She frequently either takes the piss out of Rimmer when he's wearing his green hat, or threatens to throw things at his head. However, she usually has a pen jammed behind her ear whenever he's wearing it. (Anyone else noticing the wardrobe parallels here?)

Mostly I enjoy being a PA. Then I remember my boss is neither of these two and it makes me sad.

It's Friday, and I'm bored. Let's rank these handsome boys by most likely to make you forget you have knees.
