Team Cyrano

Cyrano de Bergerac is the best love story in the world.

Why?

One reason, mostly.

Cyrano's love for Roxane is completely selfless.

He helps Christian woo Roxane, knowing all the while that she will never love him. When Roxane and Christian were married, Cyrano distracts De Guiche, though it costs him much pain to witness his love marry another. Even after Christian dies, Cyrano lets Roxane live in her unrequited love, when he could be making his move. 

I've also decided that I'm "Team Cyrano", if we're going to separate into teams.

Cyrano has known Roxane his entire life, so he knows what a sweet soul she is.

Christian's love for Roxane is based entirely off of infatuation (and vice versa).

And I kind of think Roxane is not the best candidate for Cyrano.

Though she is kind-hearted and well meaning, she has a shallow idea about love.

Love shouldn't be about good looks and smooth talking- it should be about the love.

Hence the term.

Yup.
