Tie for Cheshire Cat and Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. I've always loved those two characters. I've always enjoyed reading the story.

So inspiring and fun.

I've dressed up as those two quite a few times during halloween during my life, as well as other characters. The story alone is amazing but those two characters have helped form me than anything else.

Great thread idea!

Goodies:
JEEVES, Bertie Wooster and Lord Emsworth
(from the Jeeves books and Blandings Castle books by P.G. Wodehouse)
Claudine (from the Claudine books by Colette)
Mélisande~Pelleas et Mélisande (Maeterlinck)

It looks like Caulfield is quite popular in this thread...Salinger is one of my favorite authors ever, but prefer characters from his short stories

Scarlett O'Hara. Of course she had some flaws and she was quite selfish, but in the same time she was also strong and self-willed lady. And I have quite similar personality as Scarlett in fact

Levin from Anna Karenina

 

[Jenna-maria]

SCARLETT O´HARA and RHET BUTLER from Gone with the wind. I just love those two! there are more but they might be just over the top.

good thread!

Gandalf - I love that he is cranky and kind and old and extremely powerful.
Hannibal Lecter - amazing character, instant classic.
Elisabeth Bennett.
Mr Rochester - great vibrant personality.

Almost great:

Jonathan Strange - He is cheerful and happy-go-lucky and then gets pushed to the edge and then he brings it.
Edward Cullen - I like the snarkiness and cleverness and intensity and desire to do the right thing.
