Exactly as it says. Who are your favorite literary characters and why? Feel free to say more than one-two people. =)

I read a lot of fantasy, and so my answers are fantasy characters. And I read too much, so if I were asked this question in six months, I will probably have a different answer. LOL. But for now!!!...
One of my favorites is Nynaeve from the Wheel of Time. She is a strong willed, compassionate, fiery and caring woman in a world where it is looked down upon for a woman to show so much emotion. When reading her, she feels like a real person, someone I can identify with and understand beyond the pages. I love it.
Another favorite is Osriel from The Lighthouse Duet. He's not a lead character, so one never gets to see from his perspective, but I love how he tries his best to keep his people safe no matter the cost to his own soul. He's a character with a bunch of different faucets to him, with one large goal driving him, and he is one character who I can truly say is like an onion. You peel back ten layers to his character and there is still soooooo much more to learn!!!

It's been a while since I've read a book, book. Boy I miss it.
Percy Jackson from The lightning Bolt Thief.
He's a great character and shows now real life problems mix with other wold ones. It's easy to relate to some of the troubles of being a kid that doesn't really fit in but has a good head.
When i brush up on my books I'll add a few more.

Kasey, I think I'll add to your Percy Jackson favorite... except I prefer Annabeth. She's got good sense on her shoulder and patience enough (usually) to deal with Percy being a dumbass. I also like the fact that she's a good demonstration of a strong, intelligent female character.

I agree with you zoni. She's a good balance for Percy's act not think later.
Have you read all of the books? I've read all but the last one.

I read all the Percy Jackson series, but the spin-off was lackluster. I only read one book.

Yep. Also known as the possibly a disaster ones and not in the Greek mythology sort of way.

Lol I have the first book but haven't read it yet. My nephew loves them though. I'll have to give it a go to see if I like it.

It lost the charm and magic of the Percy Jackson books somehow, but I'll never tire of those.

Yeah. That happens for me sometimes to. Most times when I think there should be no sequel to a book and then there is one and it screws whatever image you've had of a story for no reason.

Usually, yeah. I've had a few series surprise me, though. I will (ashamedly) admit to enjoying the Vampire Academy novels. Their offshoot series not only made a really bizarre pairing canon, but I absolutely love it. I was surprised.

I have a cage memory of them because I read them so close together but that was a good one.

They really surprised me. I read VA originally because I thought it would be terrible. And it kind of was. But I liked it.
