Brenda Johnson (The Closer): My Brenda's pretty close to canon. I see her as having given up on her CIA career, where she had to navigate moral gray areas all the time, in favor of cleaning up her one little corner of the world (Atlanta, L.A.) and a more clear-cut mandate, to act as murder victims' advocates. She's very driven and career-oriented; on the show she's slowly establishing a home life with her live-in boyfriend, and it's a constant struggle for her to put work aside when she's home. That's a problem for her at Hogwarts, since there is no murder and very little criminal mischief, but it's an extension of where she was mentally at the point in canon I pulled her from. She'd just come off four months of administrative leave while Internal Affairs investigated a shooting incident in her squadroom, and already had the stir-crazies.
Mr. Darcy: I had to app Darcy, because we got such a pitch-perfect Lizzy, who plays her from my favorite adaptation, too. I was nervous about doing it and sure someone else would want to app him first, and when nobody seemed to be stepping up I started writing my app. I followed Lizzy's lead on the point to pull him from in canon: awkwardly paying court to an oblivious Lizzy during her visit to the Collinses in Kent, but before he busts out a proposal and gets shot down in flames.
He is stuffy, which I see as a reaction to taking over as head of the family after his parents' deaths - a corollary to this is his tendency to focus on his responsibilities to his sister and to the estate. He is repressed, which I see as a reaction to growing up with Wickham's "vicious nature," after a close reading of the letter in which he details his relationship with Wickham to Lizzy in P&P. He's protective to the point of meddlesomeness where his loved ones are concerned, which I see as a reaction to Georgianna's near-miss with Wickham's scheming.
After initial blown-mind syndrome, he's coming to like the idea of a society without the rigid caste system that made the Bennets seem like such a bad bet, marriage-wise, in Regency England.
