    From 'A Game of Thrones' - I love Jaime Lannister with a burning passion. I also like Margaery Tyrell and Olenna Tyrell. I swing back and forth between liking Bronn and wanting to slap him. Tywin Lannister deserves all the rewards. Cersei Lannister deserves her throne; she put up with Robert, and therefore, can handle anything. I find Sansa Stark to be the only interesting Stark. Euron Greyjoy is shaping up to be a total beast. Oh, and the Boltons! I also thought Oberyn Martell was a beautiful character, but he wasn't around long enough to earn my love.

    From 'Haryy Potter' - Dumbledore is one of best characters in literature. I would've loved to find out more by Dumbledore's past. I always feel oddly affectionate toward Draco Malfoy. I love, love, love all four Marauders. Even Peter! I think they're wonderful, flawed, brilliant individuals. James Potter is admittedly my favorite though.

    From 'Twilight' - This series isn't really my cup of tea, but I really feel that Emily Young deserves a lot of credit. So does Leah Clearwater. Jasper Hale wasn't a total wash either.

    From 'We Need to Talk About Kevin' - Eva Khatchadourian. She had a lot of flaws, but she was honest and never apologized for being who she was. Also, Kevin Khatchadourian for pretty much the same reasons. Both of them, to varying degrees, are bad people and fantastic characters.

    From 'Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe' - Firstly, I think every young woman should read this book. Secondly, every character in this book resonates deeply with me. Finally, Idgie Threadgoode and Ruth Jamison. In Love

    I love a vast majority of the characters from the vampire chronicles by Anne Rice. Lestat is of course my favorite, I feel so bad for him cause Claudia and Louis (but especially Claudia) disliked him so much and I think he's absolutely fantastic. Nicholas is probably my second favorite character. Then of course Armand and Daniel, I love them together. And I don't completely hate Louis even though he's a whiny baby, of course Daniel is very whiny too.

    Disturbingly, Alex from A Clockwork Orange.
    Finny from A Seperate Peace.
    Gatsby from A Great Gatsby.
    Fred and George, Draco, Sirius Black, Hermione, Harry, and Ron from Harry Potter. I also find Tom Riddle to be fascinated from a psychological perspective.
    Puck from the Iron Fey Series.

    I'm gonna stop here because I could go on for days.

    This changes with every book/series that I read. Currently I am working on the Divergent series by Veronica Roth and my favorite character is definitely Four/Tobias.

    He is such a sweetheart when he's in private but can be a total badass when he is in combat or is teaching initiates how to do something. Also, at no time is he too harsh, I really love it a lot. :)

    Arya Stark from A Song of Ice and Fire.
    For a character who's meant to be between eight and ten she's quite a strong character, temperamental and stubborn, but strong, I mean she slit the throat of a guard to escape from Harrenhall.

    I have no idea if I've posted here before but here comes my Post Of Feelings...

    Cillian Boyd from the Chaos Walking series. (SPOILER) I know he dies in like, the second chapter, but he was so brilliant. If an author can make me, and a lot of others, fall in love with a character within two chapters, they're doing something right. What I really loved about Cillian was how misunderstood he was. The book was told from Todd's point of view, and in Todd's mind Cillian was his moody other father, who was nothing like the kind and caring Ben who he treated as his real father.

    The real reason why Cillian was so bitter towards Todd was obviously because he'd lost Ben to him. They were a couple and were extremely happy, then they were forced to look after Todd and Ben had loved Todd so much, giving Cillian nowhere near as much time with his 'one in particular.' Todd became attached to Ben too, so Cillian was left on the sidelines, feeling like nobody really loved him anymore.

    Then there was that moment before he died, when he grabbed Todd and hugged him tightly. Todd just shoved him away like it meant nothing to Cillian, which it did. He finally plucked up the courage to try and show Todd just how much he loved him before the boy left and Cillian died, and he was pushed away. He died knowing that Todd really didn't love him. Just try and imagine how hard that had to be for Cillian-losing his lover and his son while feeling like neither loved him as much as he loved them.

    Every time Todd mentioned him in a list of people who had been taken away from him by the Mayor throughout the books, I cried. The only time he really seemed to care was when he was long gone and never coming back.

    The problem for my sanity was that Ben still cared about Cillian throughout the books. He was distraught when he and Todd were together without Cillian, and when The Sky mentioned him losing his One In Particular, my heart broke. What do you think Ben dreamed about the whole time he was asleep? Cillian and his past. He was such a major character throughout, even when he was forgotten and ignored.

    Sophie-Anne Leclerq from Definitely Dead. In the show True Blood, I admit I hated the character. She was shallow and rude and was not played up as much as she is in the book series. In the book, she is so strong and you can see that she loved Hadley very much. She is such a powerful, haunting, and while she's one of the eldest vampires still around, you can see that she remains human in the aspect of love and it's endearing.

    Now that I've given a post of feels on Cillian, my Gasman one is due.

    The Gasman is the second youngest member of the Flock in Maximum Ride. And jesus, how can you not fall in deep love with him and wish he was your son/brother so you can cry over him all day? I have deemed him officially the cutest book character in existence ever.

    There's just one problem... Not many others agree. They mostly obsess over Angel or Nudge, and don't give Gazzy a chance. But just look at him. He wants to be so tough and strong and be a man, but he doesn't need to be. He's been forced to grow up far too fast, and his mind must be in a constant fight between being an eight year old and being a grown up tough guy who can fight alongside Fang and Iggy.

    He never had his story told, other than that his parents had willingly sold him to the School before doing the same thing when Angel was born. I want to see deeper into his mind than just through a few fanfictions from his point of view. I want to see inside his mind when he gets mad and punches things, I want to see inside his mind when he tries to hold Fang's hand, and I want to see inside his mind when he fights. We've had a point of view/back story from nearly every character but him, and frankly I need to know more about his time at the School.

    Cillian and Gazzy, two underrated characters who I wish exist more than any other.

    I would say Will Herondale from the Infernal Devices trilogy. As well as Percy Jackson from the Percy Jackson and The Heroes of Olympus series'. There's a ton of others I could name, but those are the top two male wise. Female wise I would say Pia from the book Origin and Tris from the Divergent series.
