I've heard it's a good book, but I can't seem to get my hands on it anywhere. T__T

Four people before me mentioned Remus Lupin from Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling, and I'm very glad other people realise how great he is because Remus Lupin is my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE CHARACTER FROM ABSOLUTELY ANY SERIES!!! exclaim exclaim exclaim
He's a source of inspiration for me. Whenever I feel myself breaking I remind myself, "Remus suffers painful transformations every month, and rather than be admired for coping with it, he's shunned. But does he quit trying? No. In fact, he's even cordial to people that he knows would mistreat him if they knew about his condition. He remains pleasant and cheerful around his friends because he doesn't want to bring down their moods due to his problems. So, stop complaining, get up, and find somehing to smile about. It's what Remus would do."
Years ago, in school when students had to write about who their hero was I wrote about him. heart Mine was one of the few that the teacher chose to put on display. Yes, I still remember this.
I also love Winntrow from Liveship Traders by Robin Hobb. He's a fourteen year-old studying to become a priest and his outlook is very profound. The way his personality develops from an idealistic boy to a man is beautifully done.
Peregrine Lovat from The Adept by Katherine Kurtz and Deborah Turner-Harris is what I'd want my son to be like if I had a son, which is odd considering that he's about thirty years old. sweatdrop He's a painter that is incredibly endearing, and because he's an artist he notices unusual details about things that others overlook. He starts off the first book as being suicidal, but becomes a confident individual. The development of his character is as well-done as Winntrow's.
My favourite villian is without question Artemis Fowl from Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer. (He's only the "bad guy" in book one of the series.) I love villians that have redeeming qualities that cause the reader to actually not want them to lose to the "good guys." I also adore having my villians be arrogant, clever, and humourous in a sarcastic way. Artemis not only meets these expectations, but exceeds better than any other villian. I should probably make a villian thread...*skips off to do it*

I have so many favorite characters...
First would have to be Johnny Cade from The Outsiders (not that anyone could tell >.>). I read this book at a young age (11), and he was just my hero. I fell in love with each member of the Curtis gang- and to this day I'd tell you they were my brothers if asked.
Then comes Sirius Black of Harry Potter fame. To still manage to be human after spending twelve years having your very soul crushed...that's inspirational.
Even though she's from a manga, I really like Tohru Honda of Fruits Basket. I'm very critical of female characters in any sort of media, and Tohru's the most uncalculating, genuine female character I've ever encountered.
The last one on my mind at the moment would be Tex from S.E. Hinton's Tex. There was something really charming about his boyish attitude and love of mischief. I really enjoyed reading his story, and I'm glad to have met him sweatdrop .

Rachel Van Buren from The Measure of a Lady - Deeanne Gist.
