Hmmm, this week poses a very tough
decision on my part. After all, there are so many amazing characters whose
lives I have stepped into while reading, so how can I only choose ten? Well, if
I must I must – so here goes.
1.
Sophie Hatter from Howl’s Moving Castle. Now, if
we were going on the movie, it would be Calcifer all the way. But I adore
Sophie in the book – so much so that I names my puppy Sophie.*
2.
Fred the Mermaid from the trilogy by MaryJanice
Davidson. I think she’s just hilarious AND she’s a freaking mermaid. I
sometimes wish that I was a mermaid...
3.
Celaena Sardothien from Throne of Glass. Yes, I
realize that this novel has yet to be released by Bloomsbury, but I read it
YEARS ago on fictionpress.net and loved her as a character. She’s kick ass and
a freaking assassin. Enough said.
4.
Tinkerbell the fairy from Peter Pan. She’s one sassy
fairy who swears and gets away with it.
5.
Finley Jayne from The Girl in the Steel Corset.
Another kick-ass heroine who has some serious mystery surrounding her.
6.
Cricket from Lola and the Boy Next Door. I want
a Cricket in my life. Dear Universe, get on that – would you?
7.
Ella from Ella Enchanted. I wish that I had her finesse
with picking up languages!
8.
Alexia Tarabotti from Soulless and following
novels. She’s snarky, proper, and just so cool! Plus, she marries a super-swoon
worthy werewolf.
9.
Elena Michaels from the Women of the Underworld
novels. She’s the world’s only female werewolf and is as tough as nails.
10.
Ariana Osgood from the Private and Privilege
novels. She’s a bat-shit crazy psycho killer and I still like her. She’s just
an amazing character to read about since you have no idea what she’ll do (or
who she’ll kill) next!
So that’s my list. It would be a lot different if this was a
list of my top 10 literary boyfriends... but maybe that can be a topic for
another week!
*ok, technically my aunt came up with Sophie for a name... but this
makes for a better story.

I love Ella Enchanted! (Really, anything by Gail Carson Levine!) And skill with languages would be wonderful. I've been studying Spanish for about 7 years now, and I still don't feel completely comfortable with it.
Ella almost made my list, but got bumped down to honorable mention instead. Gotta say, she's definitely due for a re-read sometime in the near future - as soon as I can fit her in!
I like this list. :) Sophie, Calaena (I've only read part of the first e-novella, but I like her so far!), Finley Jayne, Cricket, Ella...all very good choices.
So agree with Cricket. Awesome list!=D
Drop by my Top 10?
Oooh I Love Love Love Alexia Tarabotti! Should have thought of that!
Thanks for dropping by!
Aww Tinkerbell is one bad ass fairy! I love her! Great picks!
My TTT: http://www.pocketfulofbooks.com/2012/04/top-ten-tuesday-favourite-characters-in.html
Sophie Hatter! I love her and that entire series. This week's challenge was really difficult for sure!
Great list! I don't think I've gotten around to any of these books but the characters sound fantastic, I just might have to start adding some of them to my want-to-read list =)
Thanks for dropping by my blog earlier!
I haven't read most of these... but Tinker Bell is an excellent choice!
Ella Enchanted, Soulless and Lola are definitely on my TBR list.
Also, to be a mermaid has long been one of my favourite dreams!
Great post, Feel free to visit my list :)
Tinkerbell is a great choice! I need to get to reading Peter Pan. I own it but haven't taken the time yet. Cheers!
I recently read Ella Enchanted and made sure to talk about what an amazing character Ella was, even though I personally didn't LOVE the book I loved her.
Oh fantastic list, K!
I wanted to put Sophie on my list too, but I couldn't decide between her and Howl so in the end I left them both off!
And yay for Elena! Love her!! And Ella and Alexia... Wonderful female heroines on this list! Love Cricket too. :)
I don't think I've heard of Ariana Osgood, but you've got me curious.
I love that you put Sophie Hatter on this list! I kind of wanted to put her on mine honestly, but since I just read the book less than a month ago I resisted. And I'm actually really excited that you put the Throne of Glass chick on here, because I cannot wait to read it! I do have the ARC, but too many obligations first! Soon...
Great list! I haven't read most of them, but definitely must read them now.
