Category:Couple Purists

A 'Couple Purist' is a character who ships one pairing, almost to the point of it being a religion, and hates all pairings that interfere with it. They can vary from simple pairings involving the canon characters, to shipping fan characters with other fan characters. The most common feature of the couple purist character is a strong dislike for the main female that would interfere if it was a straight couple (e.g. A Sonic/Amy purist may hold a dislike for people like Blaze the Cat, Princess Elise, Sally Acorn etc.). Another common feature is the 'filler couple', pairing off the "interfering characters" with another random character so that they are taken (an example here being Shadow/Blaze so that Sonic/Amy is not interfered with by Blaze).

If you're making a purist character, it's best to put yourself into the mindset of one during the creation process. Most of my purist characters were designed to almost look like lovechildren, but they're actually not. It is true that lovechildren may become purists of the pairing they were spawned from, however. If this is the case, they will be in both this category and the 'Lovechildren' category.
