Mary Lennox from The Secret Garden - at first I openly despised Mary's character, she was so spoilt and up tight and openly hated everyone who spoke to her in a manner which she didn't like, but once she got to the garden and met other children who she got along well with, she was truly a changed girl! Mary is quite an inspiration, and anyone would love her because of the garden it's self!
Ginny Weasley from Harry Potter - I think I have always liked Ginny, she is a lovely character and very brave and true and nice- and tough too, which is great!
Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice - I look up to Elizabeth for her strong nature, openness and will to let people know exactly what she thinks, though sometimes I think she can go too far, I would love to be able to pull in my courage and speak how she does to people... and Darcy, well at first, like Mary, I didn't like him at all! I didn't know how on earth he could become at all the thought of marriage as he was so awful all the TIME! But I think I softened for him, after a while, and know look up to him as much as Lizzie; and the actors that play them are all amazing! I love Keira for Liz most and Colin Firth and Matthew for Darcy most!
Jane Marple from Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot from Poirot - Jane is amazing! I haven't read the books yet, but the TV Show shows it all, I adore it! Poirot is so perfect in his ways, everything being just so, he's probably a bit like me! They are just plain amazing! And there is this awesome anime series of them together on youtube! A MUST SEE!
Goldie Roth from The Keepers series - Goldie is full of belief and strength, she fights for what is right and won't let the evil people in the world take over her vision, no matter what they try and do to her; in the end, Goldie is different but just trying to do the right thing... she's such an inspiring person...
Gerald Durrell and family from My Family and other animals- now Gerald isn't really a character as such, as he is a real person, but he is un-douptably one of my favourites! His family live such an amusingly fun and true life, they seem so perfectly ridiculous! I love them!
Hugo Caberet from Hugo Caberet- Hugo is a silently penetrating character, he is moving and finds his place in life with love.
Lucy Pensive from the Chronicles of Narnia- Lucy is brave, trusting beyond belief and true, though it is tough for her a lot; and she gets to wear amazingly cool clothes in the new movie, which I am yet to see.
Fox from Reckless- Fox is brave, slightly fightsy and brave, she'll do anything for Jacob, anything and I think she is so true and brave to do that.
Kate from Sunshine- I admire Kate's strength and truthfulness and love that she never lets go of, even after what she goes through. Kate is one of the most amazing people, and so amazing that I wish I had been able to meet her; and for some reason, I felt like I could relate to her so easily, like she was so alike myself...
Best Mate from Best Mate (Born to Run)- a life led with different names and owners alike, Best Mate is brave, loving, trusting and inspiring, more then I can say...he's the reason I first wanted to get a Greyhound!
Anne from Anne of Green Gables Books- Anne is robust in her ways and never faultering in her beliefs of how she and others shouldbe, Anne is quite amazing!
Eva Nine from The Search for WondLa - Eva is amazing in her ability to cope with being thrown into the wide world, I think that's amazing! She adapts to being able to look after herself and is never too selfish once she is aware of everything properly! She's awesome!
Well there you go; I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did writing it! Love, Romi.xxx
