Character Attendant

A job at Disney where you make sure the characters stay alive. They are in charge of maintaining their line by yelling at everyone to have out their autograph books and photopass cards, only for the guest to get to the character and not be prepared at all. They describe what the character is animating and say things like "Yes! You are on their shirt!" And "Wow it is their birthday!" 100 times a day. They move the guests bags, because of course they put them in the wrong spot, then get phones shoved in their faces with out ever hearing the words, "Will you please take a photo for me?" and still take the photo. They also make sure said character gets off on time which leads to them timing the line, closing the line on time, and most importantly, ruining thousands of vacations.

Canada(Character)

Canada(or Matthew Williams) is a character from Axis Powers: Hetalia.

He is usually known as "the forgotten one", and everyone mistakes him for his "older brother" America(Alfred F. Jones).

Some people don't even notice his presence...at all...

He's also really quiet. When he talks it seems like he's whispering, while his "older brother" America sounds like he's yelling all the time while he's talking.

He's also included a lot in pairings such as FranceXCanada,

AmericaXCanada, CubaXCanada, UkraineXCanada...etc...
Arthur Kirkland(Britain/England/UK): "Hey, America!"

Matthew Williams(Canada): "I'm not America, I'm Canada! Please get it right."

Arthur Kirkland(Britain/England/UK): "Oh, sorry Canada..."

Francis Bonnefoy(France): "It's Canada, duh... Can't you reconise him from his sexy 'air?"

And that's Canada(Character).

Character Bashing

Character bashing is the act of shaming, flaming and saying defamatory things about a fictional character. This is done to vent one's hatred for a character by relentlessly criticizing the character -whether it be just or unjust- or taking the characters negative traits and blowing it out of proportions which would leave behind only a hollow one dimensional husk.

Character bashings are most common with in Fanfictions and online forums. Any character may be on the receiving end of bashing, even the main character.

There are multiple reasons why this phenomenon exists such as Ship wars, Spotlight hogging Main character, etc.

Character Assassination

1. To deliberately destroy someone’s good reputation by exaggerating their flaws, spreading negative falsehoods, and/or manipulating facts.

2. (In fiction) When a normally sympathetic and/or intelligent character is derailed with bad writing by an author and/or creator erasing previously established positive development exaggerating their worst flaws (flanderdization), and/or by making them behave in out of character (OOC) ways that make them come across as unsympathetic and stupid out of nowhere for the sake of creating cheap shock value, forcing a character into the villain role with no organic lead up, retreading previously established character development by undoing it of nowhere to do it all over again, and/or in order for the creator/author to prop up another character and/or ship they unfairly favor as “good” and/or “redeemed” without having to actually put in any sort of effort to develop their favorites in to people who are actually behaving in ways that make them worthy of redemption by attempting to emotionally manipulate the audience to forget about the bad ways in which their favorites have behaved and/or the bad things their favorite character has done by deliberately pulling a character assassination on other characters and/or ships to make them seem just as bad, if not worse, in comparison to their favorites.
1. Who wrote these lies about me in this article? I’m not the horrible person they are making me out to be here! This is character assassination!

2. Emma Swan from Once Upon A Time was such a badass, intelligent, kindhearted, and selfless young woman. Then, she got set up with Hook, and became a mean-spirited, violent, and selfish sidekick to him on her own show. What horrible character assassination!
