Fave Characters
I have a question for you guys: who are your favorite book characters? I read a lot, so I have about 9 million, but here are my top five.

1. Antryg Windrose, the Windrose Chronicles by Barbara Hambly: The reason I like Windrose is because he's insane. He's flamboyent, he likes to collect strange things, and he's a misfit, even from the misfit community. He's a sweet person who was forced to do some pretty bad things early on in life, but he's overcome his past.

2. Sam Gamgee, The Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien: I like Sam because I can identify with him. I, too, am incredibly loyal, not too smart or good to look at (but, also like Sam, not dumb or ugly). Sam knows what his job is, and he'll do it to the best of his abilities. He's also fiercly loyal, which is something I understand.

3. Severus Snape, Harry Potter Series, J. K. Rowling: I like Snape because he's about the only teacher at Hogwart's who doesn't let Harry get away with everything. I also like him because he's a very mysterious character...Rowling has hinted at things in his past that made him the way he is, and she also leaves you wondering what it is that he did to gain Dumbledore's trust...

4. Elda, Dark Lord of Derkholm and Year of the Griffen, Diana Wynne Jones: I like Elda because she's the perfect example of an 18 year old girl...who just happens to be a griffen. She suffers normal teenage emotions like sibling rivalry and crushes, but she also has to deal with emotions native only to griffens and also with the fact that she's a very powerful wizard-in-training.

Well, how about you?
