Hermione Granger (Harry Potter): Being Harry Potter himself is dangerous and scary. Being Hermione, though, means you get to have all the adventures and be the smartest person in the room at all times, which is the dream.
Emma Woodhouse (Emma): The lessons she learns are fairly gentle, and she's handsome, clever, and rich, which honestly seems like a great way to be.
Daine Sarrasri (Wild Magic): Growing up, her magical connection with animals was something I loved and really wished I had!
Vasya Petrovna (The Bear and the Nightingale): She's brave, smart, beautiful, and magical, and one of my favorite recent series heroines.
Bridget Jones (Bridget Jones' Diary): Her life is honestly pretty easy even if her escapades are hilarious.
Professor Maud Bailey (Possession): She's lovely and smart and a feminist scholar and that's not a bad way to find yourself being.
Natasha Rostova (War and Peace): I will never get over what Tolstoy does with her in the end, but right up until then she's got the best, most interesting personality and journey of anyone in the book, and is one of the most unforgettable characters I've ever read.
Astrid Teo (Crazy Rich Asians): Okay, she's got romantical problems. But so does everyone and she's gorgeous and absurdly wealthy.
Cersei Lannister (A Game of Thrones): SHE'S THE WORST. But she's also beautiful, rich, powerful, and utterly (albeit wrongly) convinced of her own intelligence and rightness.
Sookie Stackhouse (Dead Until Dark): Yes, the constant unwanted intrusions of others' thoughts would be stressful, and the frequent murder concerns are a problem, but she also gets to have a bunch of love affairs with hot dudes, so...
Sookie is a great choice. I've only seen her mentioned on one other blog today.
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten Tuesday post.
She has an enviable range of boyfriends!
DeleteI wouldn't want to be Cersei - married to Robert and Tywin for your dad? No thanks, haha. Bridget wouldn't be too bad though, I love her friends!
ReplyDeleteI don't envy her the parental situation, but Robert's gone so early in the narrative I almost forgot she was married to him!
DeleteI would switch places with practically any of the characters in Crazy Rich Asians! I can't imagine just having almost unlimited amounts of money.
ReplyDeleteI know money can't solve problems, but it can sure buy things to soothe the pain!
DeleteAs long as I didn’t get killed, being Hermione would be fun.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Not getting killed infinitely better than the alternative!
