This blog post is seriously right up my alley. It's my perfect cup of tea. I could blabber on about fictional characters for hours and hours because, well, fictional characters are just the freakin' best. But when pondering my vast bank of favorite fictional characters, I realized that loving fictional characters and wanting to be them were two very different things. However, after having that sort of a revelation, I decided to nix it because that means I have to throw away most of the candidates because their worlds suck.
Anyway, onto the quote-unquote "official" choice. Tris from Divergent was the first character to pop into my head mainly because the movie is casting a lot of the characters and just two days ago they finally cast my favorite character, so I obviously had to reread the book, and said book was on my mind. Anyway, I want to be like Tris from because she is a straight up badass. She acts completely on selflessness (even though she sees herself in a skewed selfish way) and her strength is something that I envy. Another thing about Tris is that she's flawed--terribly flawed, and that's what makes her an even better character. Her flaws make her human and make her seem more real and not like a perfect, cookie-cutter character. She is truly a strong and capable character to look up to for her flaws, not in spite of them. (Not to mention, her boyfriend is pretty cool, and his nickname is Four which is my favorite number, and he is tied with like four other characters for number one on my list of favorite fictional characters. So, yeah.)
