WHAT CHARACTERS ARE YOU MOST LIKE?
I love to read because I love to identify with unique characters. I share their weaknesses and their strengths, and it’s why I either root for them to succeed or hope they fail.
Harry Potter, of course, was one of my first favorite book series. I am much like Hermione Granger in that I’m a fierce perfectionist and an academic. My schoolwork is important to me, and I enjoy reading and learning new things, and I was always that girl in class who couldn’t resist raising her hand to answer a question. And my sister would probably say I’m bossy. So there’s that, too. I’d like to think I also share Hermione’s loyalty, bravery, and wit, although I’m sure that’s pushing it. 😉
Hermione sort of reminds me of Sydney Sage, protagonist of Bloodlines, and so I believe I’m a good bit like Sydney as well. We’re both total sticklers for the rules.
And I’m a lot like Cress, the Rapunzel of the Lunar Chronicles, because I’m a romantic. And I can be a bit of a dreamer.
As a child, I loved the Betsy-Tacy series because I saw myself in Betsy Ray. She was creative, and always made up stories, and eventually became a writer.
As for the characters I WISH I was more like?
I wish I shared Tris Prior’s fearlessness, and Katniss Everdeen’s determination and strength. I wish I were more feisty like America Singer. I wish I had incredible powers like Alina (Shadow and Bone), Clary (Mortal Instruments Series), Tessa (Infernal Devices Series), and Celaena (Throne of Glass).
These heroines inspire me to be confident in myself, to persevere, to always strive to be a better person. What qualities do you share with these characters?
