Pygmalion is to Galatea as Anna is to Percy/Remus

Welp, as usual in Greek mythology, we've got another crazy guy on our hands.  Pygmalion is a sculptor who blames women for just about everything wrong with the world! How great is that? Anyway, Pygmalion decides that he will never marry because he just absolutely hates women.  Of course, right after he decides this, he builds an amazingly gorgeous statue;  it so closely resembles a maiden that Pygmalion actually falls in love with it.  (Ironic, much?)  He gives the statue gifts, caresses it, and eventually names it his wife.  (Ew.)  Soon, Pygmalion attends the festival of Aphrodite where he prays to the gods that they might make his "wife" real.  Aphrodite, conveniently present at her own festival, hears Pygmalion and grants him his wish.  When Pygmalion gets home, he finds his statue exactly where he left it, only it isn't a statue anymore!  He's super duper happy, but he sort of can't even believe that his statue is now a person.  So, he kisses her multiple times to make sure she's real (oh, sure, that's the reason you're kissing her a bajillion times, suuurrrre), and she blushes, and then Aphrodite's all, "Yay!  Love!  I'll just bless you, you cutie patuties, and let you live happily ever after!"  Then, they have a kid named Paphos, who builds a city sacred to Aphrodite.  The end!  Personally, I think Pygmalion deserved an unhappy ending, the sexist pig. (Haha, PIG, like PYGmalion.  Sorry, I'm full of bad puns.)

So, out of the hundreds of characters I want to bring to life, I have chosen two amazingly awesome ones.

1)  Percy Jackson--In the spirit of Greek myths, I figured he would be an appropriate character to discuss. He's the son of Poseidon in the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan, and he's freaking amazing.  He's almost just a normal kid, except for the fact that he defeats monsters on a regular basis.  Being a demigod puts you in a lot of danger all the time, and Percy handles it pretty well considering how old he is (as young as 12, and right now in the series he's 17).  He's extremely loyal; in fact, it's his fatal flaw.  Also, his humor and sarcasm pretty much make my life complete.  Anyway, here are some drawings of this lovely goober (some with his amazing girlfriend, Annabeth) (sourced at the end of this blog post!):

2)  Remus Lupin--So this guy right here is pretty much perfect.  He's a mentor/friend to Harry in the Harry Potter series, and I just love him to pieces.  Though Remus is a werewolf, he's a beautiful human being who respects others even though he doesn't respect himself.  Basically, Remus is kind, caring, adorable, and humorous, with a dash of mischievous (he is a Marauder, after all).  If you've read Harry Potter at all, you know that he dies in the last book which absolutely ruined my life.  I cried for a good while when I read that part, and... Ugh.  It's just so depressing, because it happens right after his life seems to be going on track; he gets married and has a kid right before he gets killed.  It's so unfair.  He's just a great person and I love him and then BAM he's gone.  *cries forever*  Anyway, here are some drawings of my baby, Remus ( some with his wife, Tonks) (sourced at the end!):
