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.
