So, Writers Block asked: What fictional character do you identify most with? 
 ... like its that simple! 

 I relate to a lot of fictional characters. Is that healthy? I don't know, maybe it's just a function of being an only child- you don't have playmates so you have characters and later on you can see yourself in them too. At least, Trouble and I seem to have had this same feeling, and Kitty too really. I believe sister_of_night has also expressed some similar feelings on the subject- albeit she's not an only child but she was by her lonesome self a lot (which is possibly how she and I came to live in one another's heads but that's neither here nor there). 

First on my list is Mystra- and I ought to identify with her since I made her up to be me.
Arianne Martell / Tyene Sand / Danaerys Targaryen / Sansa Stark - A Song of Ice and Fire by GRR Martin. Look, the girls of A Song of Ice and Fire rock it like no one else. I admire GRRM because he writes awesome girls- finally a fantasy with females I don't hate. I identify with Arianne being both a little sheltered and a little annoyed by her father who she feels doubts her even when he doesn't really, and Tyene for being sweet but not afraid to kill stuff if she needs to. And Dany has been thrown into awful situations and she's just trying to get through them, steady and aiming high. As for Sansa - I know what it's like to fall into that world in your head and not come out. Um, see Mystra above for proof of that. 
 ... really the entire cast of A Song of Ice and Fire is up for my fave fictional characters award.

Gemma Doyle - A Great and Terrible Beauty. Gemma has the same sense of humor I do and I love that. She's also fairly pragmatic about things, but she's got a clear place or two for what constitutes pure evil. Even though she's sometimes not sure her best friend Felicity isn't pure evil (and OMG I adore Felicity too- especially when she's being a horrible bitch). 

Ishtar- Vampire Game. Ishtar is spoiled and bratty but she's loyal as hell, she's just not at all above screwing with people's heads for her own amusement. Plus she takes delight in getting drunk and being outrageous. I so get that.

Hari - The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley. Hari is awkward and out of place, and she's got blinding headaches and inconvenient visions, but she has this awesome sense of humor that she keeps with her and a nagging mental thing telling her she's really going to blow everything up and what the hell is she doing. I get that. 

Vesper Holly  - by Lloyd Alexander. Forget Eilonwy (Chronicles of Prydain and yeah she's awesome too)- Vesper Holly is the girl Indiana Jones. She's 16, brilliant, gorgeous, and having kick ass adventures in Victorian times. What's not to adore? I identified with Vesper's determination to do the right thing, be awesome, and flirt. I hate that she wound up with a fiancee at the end of the series though- utterly hate it. I refuse to include that book in my series. No, she went on to have endless adventures with a new love interest every time. 

Serena Van der Woodsen - Gossip Girl by Cicely von Ziegler. SHUT UP. I very much get tv Serena's need to be nice and make up for being awful. I also get the need to go out and have friends and be unremittingly social, and coming off as a total airhead even though you're actually smart because hello there's just a lot going on in your head, and you sometimes forget stuff. 

Octavia  - ROME. Because if I lived in Rome and was an aristocrat, my mother would be Atia and someday I'm doomed to grow up and be just like her, so I can feel Octavia's pain. ... Lucky me I don't have OMFG I LOVE ROME.  We won't even go into my mad love of Posca, Caesar, Vorenus, Pullo, Atia, Antony, Eirene, Niobe or Jocasta.

Rose Tyler - Doctor Who. I love Rose and I would totally be her too if I didn't have a dad and mom was a bit more loony. And again she's smart and just kind of determined to make the universe a little more shiny and help the Doctor and make sure mom's not crazy. Also I get her boy issue. Poor Mickey. 

Lorelei Gilmore - Gilmore Girls. I'd like to be her, if she went to college and didn't have Rory until later. Again with the humor, the randomness and the fun. 

Agnes - Flesh & Blood. No one's ever seen this movie because people are stupid and movie studios are more stupid than most. I love Agnes because she's realistic- she's not perfect, she's a sheltered convent-raised noble Renaissance Italian girl who gets kidnapped  by revenge-minded murderous mercenaries, and god awful things happen to her, but she keeps her wits about her even in the most horrific scenes. And she survives it. She does whatever it takes and she survives. Plus the scene with mandrake root is priceless, but oh wow, the opening sequence with her maid is hilarious. 

Auntie Mame - Auntie Mame. "Life is a banquet, and most poor sons of bitches are starving to death."

Holly Golightly - Breakfast at Tiffanys. I won't even bother to explain this one. 

Luna Lovegood - Harry Potter.  ... cause Luna would get my randomly wearing a tiara or announcing that today is just a pink and fluffy day we're just going to live with it. 

River Tam - Firefly. Sometimes, my head goes funny and won't make sense and I understand what it feels like to be lost in your own head like that. 

... And you can lump in my mad, mad love for Innara right here because I love her being a Companion and being amazing and wanting to kill Mal and/or make out with him.

Buffy Summers - Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I wanted to be Buffy so much. 

Eleanore of Aquitaine - Lion in Winter. So, it's not the historical Eleanor and I love that one too but omfg, this Eleanore? When it's Katherine Hepburn being all pragmatic and scheming and unspeakably awesome???! I love that. I follow her logic of loving someone so much it's gone straight round to just antagonizing them to make them miserable. 

Veronica Franco - Dangerous Beauty. Way to get me to be a courtesan? Tell me I can't have books otherwise. Way to convince me being a nun is a bad idea? Make me watch some girl get her head shaved.  I can totally identify with this because  I would have done the same in that time period. Then she got to be an awesome published poet. She wins.
