Who is your 'Fictional Hero'?

D'Artanian the musketeer, I just love how he put his heart and his mind into becoming a musketeer and became the best one france had ever seen.

Jack Ryan from Hunt for Red October, Executive Orders and Patriot Games (Tom Clancy)

I've got about a zillion. Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Rhett Butler, Mr. Darcy, Ponyboy Curtis, and Edmond Dantes, to name a few.

Fat Charlie from Anansi Boys, because he knows all about embarrassing parents, upstaging siblings and moments of pure awesome that go completely unrecognized.

Rudy from The Book Thief.

And any character you care to name from Harry Potter.

Quenton Cassidy

Harry Potter, because I grew up with him. He's brave, imperfect, but good all the way through.

Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark in The Hunger Games series. They give up so much and somehow still stand for something.

Umm... I have a lot more, for random reasons, or because I relate to them. Holden Caulfield, Nick from The Great Gatsby, Suzie from The Lovely Bones, and many more...

Salvo Montalbani the Sicilian police inspector from the books by Andrea Camilleri because he is clever and laid back

Captain Artemesia Blastside (but really Art Fitz-Willowby Weatherhouse) from Piratica, because she's mostly fearless, adventurous, and mysterious.

I would name Jamie Fraser of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. He is strong and protective, yet tender and respectful of Claire's need for independence. He is totally committed to her no matter what. I love seeing their relationship grow and mature through the years. He is the ideal man and mate.

Ponyboy from Outsiders. Atticus Finch, and Hassan form Kite Runner to name a few.

Nobody Owens from The Graveyard Book. I have huge crush on him, hehe :P
