Simon vs. Zuko


Yay for awesomely conflicted characters! Although Simon is the black sheep of the family and Zuko's the good guy of his family, both mess up epically and then come back to the good side and eventually live happily ever after (I'm speculating on this in Simon's case). Their respective love interests love them in spite of their tendency to try and kidnap/kill good people and help them on their journeys to becoming good guys. Both of them also have great difficulty in convincing people that they have in fact turned good and want to help and must prove it by saving people's lives and using their knowledge to help the protagonist save the world. And, of course, they are both rather popular with the ladies (I suspect if a Septimus Heap movie ever gets made, Simon will be one of the most attractive characters, or at least he should be).
