I thought about it.... I relate to a mix of Idgie Threadgoode and Eva Rojas from Sahara. Eva was spicy, sassy, could hold her own, bold when fighting to save the under-privileged with her medical skills, and determined. Both Eva and Idgie were witty, fiercely independent and stubborn.

Yeah... that's me "in a nut-shell", save missing a few traits like mechanical skills without breaking fingernails.

We so have to stop the Deadwood-a-thon. I might call someone a cocksucker.

If I had to choose my own character, it would be from TV - Julia Sugarbaker.

This is why I love Julia and you, my most wonderous perfection!

Of all the characters in either a story from a book or in a movie, I know that I identify closely with "Rose" in the movie Titanic - mostly because of her social disposition (i.e., she was from a once well-to-do background, she's torn about being married - which she knows to do so is for all the wrong reasons, and because she's full of life and feels like her life will end if she keeps doing what her mother wishes for her to do) and how she actively chooses to live her life with purpose and defy social conventions of her day.

She's strong willed, feisty, sassy at times, funny, warm, sensitive and certainly an intellectual of her own accord - all things that I feel are aligned closely with who I percieve myself to be.

Scarlett O'Hara - her strength and fight

Scout Finch - she stood up for what was right, was what she believed in, and questioned authority all while having a huge heart for others

Celie - no matter how bad it got she kept her dignity and in the end emerged victorious

Jo March - her ambition, independence and compassion

Elizabeth Bennet - well-read, fiercly independent and strong

Hester Prynne - she didn't shrink from her sentence, she was compassionate and defied the oppressive authority of her puritanical society

I would have to say the book I identified with the most as a kid was 'The Outsiders'. All the S.E. Hinton books has characters I could relate to.

I can also see myself in Novalee Nation in 'Where the Heart Is'.

Lisabeth Salander

she is hired by Mikael Blomkvist (journalist) in
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (author, Stieg Larrson).

She's relentless, isn't fooled easily, stakes out her territory,
goes in for the 'kill' - absolutely loved the role she played in this story.
She's compassionate, gutsy, independent, intelligent as fuck and runs the fuck (so to speak).

Jane Eyre (Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte)

“I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself. I will keep the law given by God; sanctioned by man. I will hold to the principles received by me when I was sane, and not mad—as I am now. Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation . . . They have a worth—so I have always believed; and if I cannot believe it now, it is because I am insane—quite insane: with my veins running fire, and my heart beating faster than I can count its throbs.”
