Benjamin Burke !
Benji! Oh boy, does this boy ever deserve this. I remember how excited Jooj was back when she was writing his app, and how crazy crazy long it was, and how I devoured every single word regardless because he was just so fascinating. (And before I forget, you get major kudos for James Laffterty alone (; ) But seriously! Benjamin Burke comes from this totally messed up, tragic background, and yet he's probably one of the most level-headed, stable guys on the site, and it works, because he's really like no other, cliché as that sounds. He's this thoughtful, intelligent, wonderful guy who's wise way beyond his years and just has this constant aura of...calmness, or coolness, I don't even know. But he's even more wonderful for it, and I absolutely love this guy. Jooj writes for him so well, and he's such a unique character, completely one hundred percent deserving of Ravenclaw's favourite boy.

Biased, biased, biased. I'm sorry, if this turns into a rabid diatribe of Skar gushing very much like a fangirl over what is definitely one of Najooj's most serious characters. I'm not going to lie, I shoved Marlene into Benji's face--oh, the imagery--quite forcefully, and you have to applaud poor Najooj's tolerance and patience for bearing with me. Benji is so different from what Joojie normally portrays. He's serious, introverted and so freaking mature. He plays the older guy role when he's in the 'youngest' category. He has this ability to put things into perspective without being rude or too 'in your face' and he's also the kind of guy you know you can rely on. Joojie has done a wonderful job with him and I'm so glad he's kept him around. Marvelous eye-candy, soulful posts and brilliant mind. All worthy of this year's favorite Ravenclaw.
