Which character is the most interesting/fun to write?
Oh gosh, I don’t know. Kakashi is pretty interesting from an outside perspective because he can be really silly but also complicated. Kankurou and Kiba are both fun because they bounce of Shikako really well being snarky. And Sasuke is the opposite – being very deadpan when things happen.

Character Analysis: Dreaming of Sunshine, Team Seven (2015-10-21)
A/N1: Because Chapter 105 reminded me about just how wonderfully ruthless and cunning Shikako really is, and I’m always a sucker for the categorization of things. As for the title–I’m not promising that I will do the other teams/characters, but I’m also not saying that I won’t.
On the TVTropes page, the members of Team Seven have already been labelled into their respective roles within the Freudian Trio / Four-Temperament Ensemble / Five-Man Band (don’t worry about the numbers, it will all make sense later). Which, for the most part, I agree with (my problem has more to do with how the website defines the roles than the allocation of them, but with TVTropes you really do have to read everything with a grain of salt).
However, I wanted to add some of my own analysis and labeling because, well, my brain thinks it’s fun. And maybe some of my fellow DoS fans will get some enjoyment out of reading this.
Here are the members of Team Seven and their respective allocations. The normal font is from the TVTropes site while the bolded and italicized are my own additions/adjustments.

Character Analysis: Dreaming of Sunshine, Team Ten (2015-10-26)
A/N1: Because I am a glutton for punishment. This one was much harder than Team Seven’s (partially because there’s less material to work with, but also because… well… I’ll explain below).
If you’re reading this, I presume you’ve already read the Team Seven edition. If not, I highly suggest reading that one first because I explain most of the various team/group tropes/tests there. I will still be providing links to the related articles/websites, though, so don’t worry.
For consistency, I’ve included the TVTropes’ character analysis devices even though I’m not at all keen on them and they don’t make much sense to me. Which probably explains why I’m so conflicted about the allocations, but I tried my best and I hope it makes sense.

Lawful Neutral/goodI’ve decided not to do the Five-Man Band since I hate it and it doesn’t contribute much if anything to the analysis.
Surprisingly, Team Eight was fairly easy to do–the designations weren’t what I expected at the beginning, but they were easy.
Anyway, reasoning under the cut.
