Who was the first fictional character you fell in love with?

[nkf]

Mine was Prince Caspian.
And my most recent was the King of the Gyptians in The Dark Materials.
Show how I've changed. It used to be a boy King. Now it's a fatherly type.

Prince Caspian to! Then Francis Crawford of Lymond. [swoon face]

You mean I'm the only person to fall in love with characters.

Yes I think you are!

Lord Peter Wimsey

Not any more. I have a rival for Prince Caspian.

John Brook in Little Women

I thought Laurie was cuter.

Also Sam Vimes, with all his flaws. Great topic! Will shuffle off now......

Sam Vimes? Who he?

The insufferable Julian!

Julian lol

Sam Vimes, from the Terry Pratchett books. Wonderful, middle aged and much like my hubby.

Mr Rochester, of course.

Yeah, but surely Sam Vimes can't have been the first fictional love?

I think Mr Rochester was my second

Gilbert Blythe, who else?

Patrick Pennington

I so so wanted to meet a boy like him but piano-virtuoso-mean-moody-but-gorgeous-and-sexy boys were thin on the ground round my way, for some reason

Second - fraid it was Mr Rochester as well

Got carried away. Not the first, maybe the deepest though.

I forgot Gilbert. I certainly had feelings for him.

OMG!!! Gilbert Blyth. Came straight into my head on reading the thread title, see others have beated my to it. I'm full of at this. Loved the guy who played him in the series.

Oh I don't know who was the first, but I scarcely read a book nowadays without falling in love with a character.

Mr Rochester was an attractive prospect but I didn't read JE until I was quite old so he couldn't have been the first.

Oh!!! first love, also had a bit of a crush on Diana(correct me if I'm wrong, played by Jan Francis in the series) Annes friend, but didn't go down that path. Maybe there is time yet.

Marine Boy

Gilbert in anne of green gables, laurie in little women and heathcliff of course.
