1!!Both Versions
2* EnsembleDarkhorse: Ridley may be absent from large parts of each book but has wealth of makeup tutorials, fan art, and fan videos .
3!! The Books
4%% * MagnificentBastard: Macon
5* EnsembleDarkHorse:
6** Ethan's great-aunts get a lot of love from the fanbase for being absolutely hilarious (occasional StillFightingTheCivilWar moments aside) and displaying the occasional keen HiddenDepths and insights about the hidden magical society around them.
7** Macon's (literal) seeing-eye dog Boo Radley is more popular than the average TeamPet in a [=YA=] book.
8** Ridley's sisters Ryan (The Cutie) and Reece (the IceQueen) have little page time or dialogue throughout the books but are quite popular, with fans mourning their deletion from the movie.
9** Abby Porter, Winnie Reid, and Robert Lester Tate have less than a dozen combined mentions throughout all four books, but still get a bit of interest and sympathy for being the only three students besides Ethan and Link to show even the slightest friendliness to the Duchannces family.
10%%* TheWoobie: Macon, in backstory. His family's curse doomed him to become a Blood Incubus

15!! The Film
16* AccidentalAesop: (Caster) women are entirely slaves to their natures once they reach adulthood, which determines whether they will be "good" or "bad" girls, and have no power to self-determine or change.
17%%* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Ridley's intro:
18%%-->'''Ridley:''' ''(to Ethan and Link)'' Which one of you lucky boys is Ethan Wate?\
19''[Ethan and Link gape at her silently]''\
20'''Ridley:''' Well? Which one of you has the power of ''tongue''?\
21'''Ethan:''' Me - I'm - Me Ethan.\
22'''Ridley:''' ''[squeals happily]'' Ethan! ''[She grabs him and kisses him]''\
23'''Ethan:''' Do I... know you?\
24'''Ridley:''' ''[breezily]'' Not a bit. I'm Ridley Duchannes, follow me.\
25'''Ethan:''' Are you a relative of Lena's?\
26'''Ridley:''' Honey, you are looking at ''the'' relative.
27* {{Narm}}: The best part of the film involves Creator/EmmaThompson hamming it up with a Southern accent.
28--> "YOU MUST BE CLAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMED!"
29* OpinionMyopia: Many either think the film failed because it was a half-assed ''Film/{{Twilight}}'' ripoff or think it failed because ''Twilight'' was so bad that it poisoned the well for other, better supernatural young-adult novels being adapted to film.
