The book you like most discussion

Who is your favorite character from all the books you read?

one of my all time favourite characters is Maxon from The Selection. I also loved Newt from The Maze Runner and Katniss Everdeen from Hunger Games.

Dorian Gray from the Picture of Dorian Gray:) I just love how complex he is. I also loved The Little Prince from the book with the same title♡ These are actually 2 of my fav books

Camilla from Daisy Jones & the six 😩 such a strong woman

As a kid I loved Pippy Longstocking for her independence, and lately as an adult I enjoyed Kya from Where the Crawdads Sing for her surviving strength being crowned with an artistic and intellectual life of adventure in spite of her challenges - well lived!

Aloysius Pendergast, for his brainy southern charm, and of course he’s awesome in a fight!

I would have to say Kenji Kishimoto (I think that's his surname???) from Shatter Me or Cassian from ACOTAR or even Tyson from Percy Jackson. But I'm not to sure bcs I love so many until the second I have to remember which ones and then I go brain dead >:/

I love your character references. Very interesting. Now let me tell you some of my favorite characters: Harry Potter - the main character, John Smith (Number 4) - I am number four, Katniss from the Hunger Games and a character I liked too - James Hoover from the novel „The Touch” by Cliff Azaria. I look forward to other comments

egwene alveren from wheel of time; mister Darcy from pride and prejudice and offcourse Hermiony Granger :)

- Jude Duarte, from The Cruel Prince (Holly Black);
- Rin, from The Poppy War (R.F. Kuang);
- Agnieszka, from Uprooted (Naomi Novik);
- Richard Gansey III, from The Raven Boys (Maggie Stiefvater);
- Seth Morgan, from the Wicked Lovely series (Melissa Marr);

Personally, Magnus Bane from the Shadowhunter Chronicles is and will always be my favorite fictional character.

Katniss from the Hunger Games because, well, she’s awesome. America from the Selection by Kiera Cass because she’s also awesome and I love her personality.

I have waaay to many favourite characters, and it's hard to pick just one. There are some I relate to more, and others I like for just being themselves, and others that I like because I hate them (the villain you just can't help but love). . . . But I'll try for a short list. . .

Murtagh from Eragon - Just for the challenges he faced and his development.
Murderbot - All Systems Red - I actually had a friend say this book/character was %100 me, and I totally get it. I love Murderbot with an insane amount of heart.
Catti-Bri - Streams of Silver - tough gal with a bow, my spirit human
Thursday Next - The Eyre Affair - She is a tough cookie and takes no nonsense. . Plus a pet dodo and that's just cute
Hermione - Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone - Mainly when I was younger
Luna - Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone - I relate way more to her now
. . . This could become a very, very long list

Wow! There are a lot of characters! Congratulations!

Mogget from The Old Kingdom Collection: Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen, Clariel

He's such a fun, slimey little thing ❤️

I have many more, but he's one that's been on my mind lately.

Frankenstein's creation from Frankenstein and Sibling Dex from A Psalm for the Wild-Built

My favourite fictional character is Bertie Wooster.

Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables.
Jane Eyre from Jane Eyre

Hmmmm, hmmmmmmmmm. Im not sure.
I wanna ignore comics for once, but whos left?
Hercule Poirot, and Miss Marple are very enjoyable Charakters, but dont have any deeper Philisophy I could relate to.
I do like Sherlock Holmes, hes kind, and relatable, but I fear its a bit of a easy Answer.
Vules Verne genuinly has zero good Charakters. He had one, or two Comic Relife Charakters, but there have so little Integrity, it disgusts me.
You know what, Mina Harker was pretty cool. I choose her.
Proto Feminist Icon.

Maybe Halt from Ranger's Apprentice and Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice

I love Poppy Balfour From blood and ash, and Mia Rovere of the Nevernight saga, for their strength, and in Mia's case, her spirit and personality

Always a competition between Sherlock Holmes and Poirot coz while the pacing of the former is better; Poirot is more relatable as he relies more on human behavior/psychology whereas Holmes' deductions are more... factual (if that makes sense) in nature

Hamish Macbeth--best character ever. Even his flaws are adorable. M.C. Beaton series

Èowyn

Lord Peter Whimsey & Jeeves of course

Sir Percy Blakeney

Jay Gatsby

Melly Hamilton

Scout Finch

Tom Ripley

Connell Waldron

Cassie Maddox

Maeve Fly in Maeve Fly by CJ Leede is my all time favorite character. But I also really loved Nadine in Mary by Nat Cassidy.

Pippa Fitz Amobi from A Good Girls Guide to Murder

Michael Sullivan from The Road to Perdition. Of course, this is a movie, but I figured it would be an interesting character to mention anyway (I guess it was a graphic novel originally). I love the complexity of the story which surrounds this character. His arc is interesting, complex, and complete while intertwining beautifully with his son's arc, Michael Sullivan Jr. His sacrifice for his son at the end is a beautiful double fulfillment.

General Zaroff from The Most Dangerous Game is currently on my mind because his character is so intriguing. While his internal motivation was certainly not explored deeply in the length of the short story, I think he may be an idea/character worth exploring more deeply in a longer form. I'd love to know if this has been done!

Ann, I am currently reading Frankenstein for the first time! What an interesting book! At times, it borders on escape fiction with its long, (possibly) unnecessary descriptions and its story within a story within a story... But overall, I find the exploration of character deeply affecting. The motivations of the characters are laid plain in a direct and careful manner. I especially appreciate that about it.

What about Frankenstein's Creation did you enjoy? Why is he one of your favorites? I found him a bit contrived and unbelievable; like he was a human in disguise and not a hideous new monster. Alas, that may be my modern mind corrupting another wonderful piece of beautiful literature. What do you think?

Serge and Coleman in the Tim Dorsey books

Kendra Michaels from Iris Johansens books. She is a strong female main character. She has been through so much in her life, but she has overcame it all. She takes the hard jobs even when she knows it will take so much from her.

Eve Duncan another strong female main character. Eve became a forensic sculpture to try to bring home the dead to give people closer. She done this because he own daughter Bonnie was kidnapped at a young age and the police never found her body, therefore they're no closer for Eve. She is sure Bonnie is dead so each child they find Eve wonders will this be her Bonnie's skull she is recreating. These books are also by Iris Johansen.

Evelyn Talbot is another strong female character. She was kidnapped by her boyfriend who also had her best friend. She had to watch him torment and kill her best friend. Later Evelyn escapes seems to be finally getting herself together when He Is Back. Evelyn works at a prison for the criminally insane trying so hard to figure out what makes these people kill and even become serial killers. She has to understand where their minds go that far gone.

Fyodor Pavlovitch from The Brothers Karamazov

Aelin and Dorain from Throne of Glass

Arthur and Merlin in The Once and Future King; Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings.

Thorne from the lunar chronicles series. He is so funny and I have a huge crush on him.

Captain Gus McRae from lonesome dove by Larry McMurtry
Fitz Chivalry Farseer from Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb
