Get her to do it too bruffin, has she read any Austen? I hadn't when I was 16 so I wouldn't have understood this quiz!

May try her later. She has seen Clueless but never read or seen any proper Austin. I have had a conversation with her about boys the other night. She is a pretty, intelligent girl with lots of boy "friends" but never had a boyfriend. I asked her if she had ever been asked out, she said she had by two boys, but she said she was too fussy. She is always on the end of the phone, facebook etc giving advice to her friends (boys or girls) about their love lives or matchmaking.

I am hoping for Lizzie Bennett although love Wentworth, but I identify more with Lizzie. Will be back.

I got Fanny Price! Well if I was Fanny I would have run off with Henry Crawford and lived a little.

You're right bruffin, she does sound like an Emma!
(Btw, Clueless, what a film, love it)

Anne, I was wondering about what you might get...I'd love to see what would happen to Mansfield Park if you went in like that 'The Eyre Affair' style Smile

Anne Elliot. I wanted Lizzie Bennett. Anne's both too good and too easily led.

Anne is my grown up choice. Lizzie is my impetuous, challenging self.

Emma Woodhouse. Was convinced I would be Anne Elliot. Curious :)

The questions were odd though, you couldnt answer it knowing who you were going to get.
