Wow favorite Book Character? This could take awhile. I don’t have a favorite character but I have a favorite type. I like the bad/charming boys like: Nick – Demon’s Lexicon, Derek – The Awakening, Finnick – Catching Fire and Jace – City of Bones! But if I had to pick one

Winner: Nick~~~~~~~

oh mannn i was looking through all the comments and so many names spring up at me and made my insides tingle. I really love Eugenides, Howl, Ender Wiggin and a whole bunch of characters listed up there.

But my no. 1 favourite right now is Dream from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series <333

To my shame, at the moment I’d have to say Mildmay from Sarah Monette’s Doctrine of Labyrinths series.

My favorite fictional character ever is easily Phedre no Delaunay from Jacqueline Carey’s Kushiel series. She’s dark-haired, dark-eyed and dangerous…kind of like Sarah’s Nick

I have piles and piles of favourite book characters, but for the record I think I’ll go with Sherlock Holmes, who I think is one of the most brilliant characters ever written (and conforms somewhat to the tall, dark and mysterious type Sarah remarked upon).

I have to confess that I had a crush on him as a kid, due to his profound awesomeness.

BOOK: …His eyes narrowed and contracted to two blazing points of steel.
LITTLE ME: Oooooooo.

The best fictional character, that touched me most, was poor Michael Henchard from Mayor of Casterbridge. He ended up paying for one mistake for the rest of his life...despite his flaws he was super sympathetic-- perhaps BECAUSE of his clear imperfections as a human being. But then there's Cassie from Free Food for Millionares and Seth from Wicked Lovely

Sarah Rees Brennan, obviously. I have never seen her in person, so I remain convinced she must be a character created by a team of mad (and hilarious) scientists.

Hmm I would have to say my favorite character is… well, tis a tossup between Jack from Pillars of the Earth and Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables. Worlds apart in environment and personality, but they have my undying love in common!
