Question:

And which fictional characters do you identify with?
I like Snape from Harry Potter, Samantha from Sex and the City, and Ferris Bueller, Tyler Durden, Alyosha from The Brothers Karamazov.

I'm a little like a combo of Chandler from Friends, Albus Dumbledore, Elizabeth from Pride and Prejudice, Bart Simpson, Anita Blake, Miranda from Sex and the City, and Chloe O'Brien from 24 (hey, I'm blunt and it takes people at least a "season" to get me)

I think I'd like you a lot. Just the fact that you read Laurell K. Hamilton (Anita is my favorite too) and are blunt is a huge draw to me. We could be sisters....lol.

***edit***

I just saw how young you are....you could be one of my daughters. :D





Anita Blake, Catherine Earnshaw (Wuthering Heights), Nikita (the one played by Anne Parrilaud in the French version of La Femme Nikita), Vicki Nelson (Bloodties)

Frodo Baggins, Charlie Brown, and Adrian Monk are characters I identify with. I like Gandalf the Grey from LOTR, Doc Brown and Marty McFly from Back to the Future, Scarlett O'Hara, Puff the Magic Dragon, Jerry Macguire, Kinsey Milhone, and the Nameless Detective.

Topping the list are Fred and George Weasley from the Harry Potter series. They can make even the worst of times hilarious. These two can definitely make me bowl over with laughter.



I like Sean Dillon from the James Patterson novels. Daring, cunning and with overflowing sense of humor and self-depracation.



Dumbledore, because he is the epitome of politeness & humility amidst his own greatness.



Mandy (from the cartoon series, "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy) -- she never smiles, always obnoxious, cunning, sarcastic, but, it's cartoon, so what the heck, I like her.



LOTR's Samwise Gamgee. It was more because of him that the One Ring was destroyed. His loyalty and bravery made him come back for Frodo.



I like Gil Grissom's character from CSI. He's the only one who can make me feel guilty crushing bugs!



Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot. He makes me laugh with his use of English idioms. And who could ever forget his "little grey cells"?



I also like Temperance of the Bones series. She is so smart, yet so naive. Her atheism is not in the least offensive when she voice it out, coming from her, it was matter of fact, almost naive.



Willy Wonka (but I'm influence more by Johnny Depp's portrayal than the book character).



A lot more but for the time being, I guess these will do.

I love that you combine characters from current "pop" culture and "serious" artistic works in your answer. I have finally begun The Brothers Karamazov, and while Alyosha has the most promise in both likability and my being able to identify with him, I need to learn more of him first.



I both enjoy and identify with Yossarian in Catch-22. Maury Noble in The Beautiful and Damned fascinates me. I can identify with Arthur Dent in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, as well as with the title character in "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." There is a bit of Jim from The Office in me. I love Ferris Bueller, though I cannot identify with his rather charmed existence.

Sydney Carton - the story of two cities Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy- satisfaction and Prejudice Edmond Dantes - The count style of Monte Cristo Fred Weasly- Harry Potter one million-7 Sirius Black- Harry Potter 3-5 Least favourite- Bella Swan She's so stressful and Whiny, and obdurate, and WHY might desire to she continually be the Damsel in misery??

Harry Potter and Fred and George Weasley, Hagrid, Sirius, Dobby, Ron



I'm a huge Harry Potter fan
Nice try

I love the Weasley twins...bawled like a baby when Fred died.



I also adore the Brat Prince Lestat DeLioncourt, he just cracks me up. Especially in Tale of the Body Thief...stinking organ LOL. I think Stephanie Plum and Kinsey Millhone are great, too.

Ignatius J Reiley from a Confederacy of Dunces, is hilarious.

Misha Borovich from Absurdistan is hilarious. Also Sydney Carton from A Tale of Two Cities. I also like Michael Scott from The Office as well as Dwight. House from House, George from Seinfield. Larry David in curb your enthusiasim. O'Brian from 1984.



I identify myself with jerry from seinfield and House from house, maybe a little bit of zooey from Franny and Zooey and of course some awkwardness from Andy Millman from the best show ever.... EXTRAS.

From books my two fave's are Sherlock Holmes and then Mad-eye Moody from 'Harry Potter'.

Both character's are fasinating and so interesting to me, I'm really drawn to them - would be great if they were real! :-)

I like Mad-eye more though. I'm not sure why. The best way to describe it is as having a school-girl crush without actually having a crush on him *lol* I just adore him though.



From TV I love Adrian Monk (From 'Monk'). He can be so funny but at other times you can also feel for him.



From film I still love Bishop from 'Aliens' - he was my first ever crush!! :-D

What a wonderful question!



Let's see--from the HP series, probably Molly Weasley (I can relate well to her--she's a wife and mother who is passionate about her family, and I love the way she took Harry under her wing) is my favorite, followed by Minerva McGonagall, whose rather stern exterior hides a warm heart--not to mention that she's got lots of skill and wisdom (hmmmm--is that why Rowling named her "Minerva?"). I also feel for Severus Snape, who is, in my opinion, one of the most tragic characters in literature--a real hero who is flawed but a hero nonetheless.



Other characters in fiction that I like are Mr. Dick from Dickens' David Copperfield (probably one of the most lovable characters in literature), Sister Fidelma and Dame Frevisse (two medieval detectives in separate series), and Chaucer's salty, earthy Wife of Bath.

Dr. Doolittle (from the books, not the movies).



Eliza Bennett. My favorite love interest in Jane Austin is Henry Tilney (Northhanger Abbey, for his wicked sense of humor), followed by Wentworth from Persuasion (and I love Admiral Croft, just love him!).



Dumbledore (book version more than the way he's played -- they leave out his sillyness and whimsy).



Faramir from Lord o' the Rings, and Treebeard.



Xander, Oz, and Giles from Buffy; Mal from Firefly (and Kaylee, and Wosh); Fred and Lorne from Angel. Spike, of course -- hard to love, impossible to hate; gets more than his share of all the best lines.



The lead characters from The Desk Set (played by Tracy and Hepburn).



Vinny (from "My Cousin Vinny").



Brenda (The Closer -- "Thank yew!").



Lisa Simpson.



fun question!

Elizabeth Bennet from P&P is my favorite, but I identify most with Elfride of A Pair of Blue Eyes by Thomas Hardy.

I like Harry Potter and the Animorphs. I think I'm mostly like Cassie from Animorphs, she's sensible, clever, smart, brave, and an animal lover. I'm a pretty good match. Harry? I'm like him, in ways. Bravery? I'm not that brave but I have the guts to do some pretty scary stuff. ( For me its kinda scary)

My favorite fictional character is the Count of Monte Cristo. I also like Elizabeth Bennet and I wouldn't mind finding a Mr.Darcy for myself.

I'm going to date myself right now but one of my all time favorite literary characters is the Count of Monte Cristo...he was absolutely the coolest protagonist from being wrongfully imprisoned to becoming one of the wealthiest men in Europe, only to exact revenge on those that wronged him...Excellent book...you younger folks should read it...

Huck Finn



though he is uneducated and would be emprisoned for vagrancy nowadays, he had moral courage beyond what we can manage. not knowing that Jim was actually free and no longer a slave, he joins Tom Sawyer in smuggling him on a raft to a place where slavery was not practiced. he does this thinking that he may go to hell for doing this, but he bravely decides he would rather "free" Jim and if he goes to hell, so be it.

i like chandler and joey on friends, harry potter as does the word seemingly, a mix of ginny and hermione is probably who i am moost like in the series though... i like ella from ella enchanted but not so much in the movie as in the book, if i were a disney princess it'd probably b jasmine,rori from gilmore girls, prince char, ron weasly, lirael from the old kingdom trilogy, shiloh, lesly from terribethia, annika from star of kazan, jack from titanic.



that is my list of people but to explain myself i'd say: i am like jack from titanic in the sense that i am artistic, hermione cuz i am smart, chandler cuz i am funny and smart, rori.
