Welcome to Gaia! ::

I was reading a book called 'The Doors of Perception' by Aldous Huxley, and in it I found a passage that really spoke to me and made me think. To summarize, it said that in some way or another, everyone tries to imitate their favorite fictional character. This makes sense, because naturally we choose our favorite character because either they remind us of ourselves, or they have some quality that we wish we had.

So, I thought that this would make an interesting discussion. So tell me, who is your favorite fictional character? And I want you to really think about it. Don't just choose some character that you have the hots for, because that character wouldn't represent you, it would represent what you're looking for in a partner, which is a much different thing. And why do they remind you of yourself, or what quality do they have that makes them appealing to you?

As for myself, I'm big on character analysis, as is a friend of mine. So whenever we're watching movies, we always pick out characters that we relate to in some way and spend time getting into their mindset. As such, I have a big list of characters. But, for my number one, at the risk of sounding cliche, I'm gonna have to say the Joker. Why? Well, many of my friends have told me that the character reminds them of me in personality. And if you took away the evil and killing instinct, he'd be just like me, while similarly, if I went over the edge, I'd be just like him. He also has the thing I value most in life: Freedom.

So, who is your favorite fictional character?

My favorite character is Brambleclaw from Warriors, a book series by Erin Hunter. Even though Brambleclaw is a boy, and I'm a girl, we are still alike. Brambleclaw is loyal, kind, but things still can get on his nerves easily. He wishes that everyone will think about him of who HE is, not his father, Tigerstar, who was pure evil. Except with me, I want people to think about who I am, not how i look by apprearence, though I do not look ugly! I mean by appearence by clothes, like some people would say I wear tomboy clothes or gothic clothes or whatever, but I just think I'm normal by wearing what I want and acting how I want. I didn't mean to give a big speech about it, it just turned out to be alot of letters. thats it for now, bye.
