Sidekick Saturday [21] - Shifter

Sidekick Saturday
Sidekick Saturday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted here by Jaclyn at JC's Book Haven. There are many secondary characters that are as great as the primaries. In some cases, the sidekicks actually steal the show and you like them better than the heroine or hero. Maybe they didn't have enough page time for how great they were. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Choose a sidekick *or someone other than the hero or heroine* that you would like to put in the spotlight that fits in this week's type
• Share a picture (if possible) and information about the character
• Give the title and author of a book the character can be found in
• Please don't include too many spoilers when describing why the character is such a great sidekick
• Put your link in the Linky thing and comment

I will post the week's theme on Twitter the Friday before between 12 - 5 and Facebook the Friday before between 5 - 9 Central Standard time.

This week is Shifter

My choice is Derek 
The Kate Daniels Series by Ilona Andrews

Derek Picture Created by Jaclyn Canada

Derek pledges an oath to protect Kate to allow Curran to save face. Since then, he has been around helping to keep her out of trouble and making snide comments along the way. He's 18 years old and a werewolf, with enough power to be the alpha of wolves one day. He makes an excellent sidekick because he is a good form of light-heartedness in the midst of chaos. He has a broken past that he has risen above and has a great strength of character. One of my favorite things about people is when they triumph over all their hardships and come out the other side a better person.

Quotes:


“Derek, you just don't say things like that to a woman. Keep going this way and you'll spend your life alone."
"Don't change the subject. Andrea is cool. And she smells nice. It will be okay."
Apparently I was supposed to sniff people to determine their competence. "How do you know?"
He shrugged. "You just have to trust her.”





“Who is that?”
“Your replacement.”
“You replaced me with a shaved poodle?”
“He's got mad skills.”





“I'm a substitute mom," I told her.
"You're more like a crazy aunt who only gets called when somebody needs bailing out of jail," Derek said.





“He joked while Dali cut him, mangling the words with his monstrous jaws, snarled with a pretended rage and dramatically promised to "kirrrl youraaalll for this!”
