First fictional character you fancied!

[herethereeverywhere]

Was reading the Wolf Hall thread and got me thinking about what was the first fictional character you got a crush on ?

Weirdly I think mine was Henry V from Shakespeare :-/ followed by Mr Thornton from North and South ( just discovered the tv version!)

What were yours?

TBH I don't remember fancying a fictional character until I was an adult. In which case, Mr Rochester makes me go weak!

I'll join you in your rubbish-ness [takes deep breathe]

Mr Rochester
and Dracula... maybe a little bit

goes all weak at the knees at Toby stephens Mr Rochester

I have a feeling it was Lord Asriel from the Dark Materials trilogy followed by Mr Rochester Toby Stephens from Jane Eyre

Lord Peter Wimsey.

A few cross posts there!

Ah Michael, Ah Ralph.
Loved Heathcliff when I was seventeen, not so much now.
More recently was the Dutch policeman in 'A Widow for one year.' (John Irving) But I don't just fancy him. I think I love him.

Probably Aragorn from LOTR. Definitely Mr Rochester when I was a teenager, though now I find him absurd and creepy.

First was pobably Robin who married Mariella Foster

RCB. And Dino Ferranti. In fact most of Jilly's gorgeous men.

Mr Rochester or heathcliffe -so much more brooding and interesting than mr darcy. Says a lot about my taste in men when I was in my early 20's

Joe from the Hardy Boys. Oh God! :(

at Ralph, the only 'character' whose name I actually remember from that book!

Also, I think I had a bit of a girl crush on Nancy Drew...

A character called Christopher in a tennis book called World Class
I was about 10 I think

Oh I've just remembered Rev Candy who ended up with Primrose in The Darling Buds Of May. I think it was the fourth book. Oh To Be In England maybe? Anyway, there's a series of books that don't bear rereading.

Oh god The Darling Buds of May. I hate those books! Was told to read them by a relative because 'they're so funny!' read them all and didn't laugh once.

Well, yes, I know. But as a 13yo I was rather taken by the Rev Candy

Giles Marlow in the Antonia Forest books. Especially "Runaway Home" when he was all sailor-like and knocked unconscious.

Walter Blythe in the Anne of Green Gables books. God, I was utterly shocked when they killed him off. I had learnt just enough from fiction to realise that if they had a false alarm missing-in-action death in the preceding chapter, that meant Walter was definitely dead.

yes to Joe from the Hardy Boys too! what was his brother called?

Sirius Black. I was 15 when she killed him. How I cried

Another one for Joe Hardy. His brother was Frank and way too serious!

Can't even remember the book, but it was an American teen one. I fancied a ghost biker .

Homer Wells from the Cider House Rules by John Irving. I also love him. We is gettin married (in my head)

Julian from famous five
