If you could be any fictional character who would it be and why?
I've thought long and hard about this one, and are you ready for my unconventional answer? Ok, its really a character that everyone should have predicted by now. In spite of her prejudices and faults, I would love to be Elizabeth Bennet. Why? Because she has the love of her father, the kinship of her sisters, her family, and Charlotte.

She's also feisty, witty, and plain spoken. She doesn't give a darn about convention, and is willing to risk it all for love. That's who I would love to be. Independent, dependable, Lizzy!
Now, if I felt I had more leeway and I could be anyone or anything, I would have chosen differently.

How about this one?
I know I could have selected whomever I wanted, but the truth is I couldn't just pick one. I love Lestat from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. He's another witty character who flies in the face of convention to get what he wants. I love the passion. The desire to get it all.
What about you? Which fictional character would you choose?
