Who is your most favourite fictional character ever??

[EdinaMonsoonsWardrobe]

Mine is probably Ross Geller but I know not many people will agree with me! I love him.

Also, Titus Pullo and Lucius Vorenus from Rome.

And Jaguar Paw from Apocalypto

Robinson crusoe

Jackson Brodie from the Kate Atkinson Books.
Moira from Schitts Creek

Just realised I am not the only one who likes a bit of Jackson Brodie.

Lord Henry in The Picture of Dorian Gray

Bertie in Right Ho Jeeves

Rik Mayal as Lord Flashheart in Blackadder

John Gielgud in the TV adaptation of Brideshead Revisited

Totally agree. Just so good, honest, manly and reliable. Wonderful character.

Yes! Love Bernard. What are you eating? Its some sort of delicious biscuit.

Agent Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks

George from Famous Five

Charlie from Its Always Sunny

Superted

She-Ra

Dexter

And because I only very recently discovered and binged, Valerie Cherish (Lisa Kudrow in The Comeback).

Taking it up a notch 😅

Tom Ripley

Taggie
Moria Rose
Nanny Ogg
Tyrion Lannister
Malcolm Polestead
Eric Northman

Aragorn , Lord of the Rings

I came here to say this.

And it's mostly because while she is an absolute legend, she's also so very human. She fucks up regularly, spectacularly. What makes her so awesome is that despite her flaws, she gets up every time and keeps kicking ass.

Equal first place goes to my namesake, Sir Samuel Vimes of the Ankh Morpork City Watch.

From books:
Isis ("Whit")
Dipanker ("A Suitable Boy")
Anne ("The Man in the Brown Suit")
Lyra and Will ("His Dark Materials")
Apu ("Pather Panchali")

Dick Halloran in The Shining is high on my list .

What an interesting thread !

Rachel Walsh from Rachel's Holiday.

William Brown from the very early "Just William" books by Richmal Crompton.

Jack Bauer. Jake Peralta. Chidi Anagonye.

Julia Redfern from Eleanor Campbell’s ‘A Room Made of Windows’

I agree with PPs about Gabriel Oak.

I'm currently rereading Jane Eyre. Thoroughly admire her as a child but by today's standards becomes rather 'judgy' as an adult.
Bridget Jones...both the book and film version. Daniel Cleaver. But only in the films where he is hilariously played by Hugh Grant.

I picked my username on mine; Marian Halcombe.
I first read the book, Woman in White 42 years ago for my O Level English Literature. I’ve have a deep love for Marian in particular

I used to like Mr Bennett in Pride and Prejudice because I could relate to him until someone pointed out (I think on another Mumsnet thread) that he had married a young girl he had nothing in common with because he fell for her looks and when he realised his mistake, he spent his marriage ignoring her or putting her down.
Plus he didn't take seriously the need for his daughters to have decent marriages before he died to avoid penury because of the entail.

Ever since I read that, I have disliked Mr Bennett and felt much more sympathy for Mrs Bennett.
