Hi guys!! Are you ready for a new Top Ten Tuesday? ( If you do not know what TTT is, you can read all about it at That Artsy Reader Girl.) This week theme really talked to me, as I imagined myself so many times propelled into worlds of fiction: Characters that remind me of myself!
- Hermione Granger
There is no way around it: Hermione is me. With a bit more magic. I have bushy hair, I was head of the class and I often felt like I didn’t belong. It was instant love between Hermione and me because I recognized myself SO MUCH in her and she was an amazing model!
- Nina Zenik
The biggest thing we have in common: our love for waffles, chocolate, and strawberries. We would have the best times together! But other than that, I feel we are close when it comes to how we react to things and our behavior!
- Belle – Beauty and the Beast
Another pretty obvious one but Belle is THE bookworm and I’m pretty sure all of us kind of recognize ourselves in her! Plus, a prince is not a bad thing to end up with right :p
- Melanie – Angels Unlimited
I LOVED this series and this character SO MUCH. I recognized myself in her doubts but also her will to do good. How her appearance was not always showing her true self, and that’s how I feel pretty often haha. Plus, despite being dead and an angel, she had a pretty awesome life!
- Alexia Tarabotti – The Parasol Protectorate
I love how pragmatic and yet passionate Alexia is in this incredible series (just talking about it makes me want to reread it!). That’s how I like to think I am :p
- Percy Jackson – Percy Jackson and the Gods of Olympus
Because of his fierce loyalty to his friends, I’m that kind of person too! And I kind of have his talent to get myself into trouble sometimes! -
(maybe I’m more of a Grover??)
- Eliza – Eliza and her monsters
I remember really feeling connected to this character and her pains in the book. I don’t have her talent though!
- Peregrin Took – The Lord of the Rings
I have a silly side that is very similar to his, plus, if there is something to drop that will call all the goblins around, I will be the one dropping it! And I am definitely a Hobbit when it comes to way of living 😉
- Morrigan – A court of mist and fury
There are many ways in which I find myself in Morrigan..but I don’t want to spoil it for the people who didn’t finish the trilogy yet! I recognize myself in her love for dancing, clothing and her humor!
- Scarlett Dragna- Caraval
Last but not least: Scarlett! While diving into Finale, I am reminded how close I feel with her. Her want to do good, her secret wishes for some danger (aka Julian) but also not so sure she wants that? Yup, that’s me! Also, I would love to have her magical gown 😉
What about you? Which characters do you recognize yourself with??
See you for a cup!
Elise
Great list this week! Hermione is such a relatable character, I understand what you mean! I love Percy Jackson so much, I think he can be pretty relatable as well.

thanks! yes they are very different but I recognize myself in parts of them still! Also I think Percy would have been Gryffindor too!

I had Hermione on my list, too. I really had a hard time this week because I love characters as they are written but they are obviously not as complex as a real person (me) Characters like me, a bit

I relate to some aspects of Hermione, but some not at all. I almost put Harry, but then I wasn’t sure if that was because of similar personalities or that I can relate better because we are essentially seeing his point of view. And then I tried to avoid the more realistic version, the erratic Ron. I love Ron but don’t want to be like Ron.
I’m definitely a hobbit. I didn’t think of any Lord of the Rings characters for my list though.

Haha I had the same struggle with Harry!! I must confess I’m not Ron biggest fan oooops.
And yes!! Hobbits are the best ❤

It’s so much fun how many people all see themselves in Hermoine and Belle, that’s definitely true of me as well! I also really loved Eliza and Her Monsters—I think the pressure for her to succeed is really relatable. I also think the accountability with her parents was handled really well.

Yes I really loved her character and her struggles (Eliza), she was very relatable!
