Emily from Monsterlady’s Diary created this Fictional Characters Tag, so I decided to give it a go and share some of my favorite characters across many fandoms.
1. Which character was your first love?
I honestly have no idea. The only one I can think of is Harry Potter.
2. How would you describe all the characters you love?
Strong, complex female characters. The large majority of my favorite characters fall into this description.
3. A character you love that you think most people hate?
I don’t think I have any. I’d argue that I have more characters that I love that are ignored or people are indifferent about.
4. Does one character in your life have a very strict personality?
I guess it depends on your definition of strict. Since I enjoy the complex female characters, they don’t necessarily have a purely strict personality.
5. A character you think you wouldn’t get along with?
Gregg from Night in the Woods. The overly goofy personality and mischievous side are not things I would enjoy being around.
6. A character you’d travel the world with?
Lara Croft. That would be quite the adventure and the history you’d learn from her knowledge would be amazing.
7. A character you’d rely on to help you get over your fears?
Sheesh, this is tough. I’d say my fears are more complex than something likes fear of spiders or heights. But, no matter the fear, I think Remus Lupin would be great at it. He’s level-headed, patient, and smart. And I could face some Boggarts to conquer the fear.
8. Where do most of the characters you love come from?
All over the place honestly. The Harry Potter series is where most of them come from, but I love characters from types of media.
9. A character you’re most likely to have dreams about?
Only because I’ve recently started watching it, the Titans from Attack on Titan. Or probably Eren specifically. Anyone from Attack on Titan really.
10. A minor character you love
I’d say Hagrid is a minor character in the grand scheme of Harry Potter, but he is easily one I love a lot.
11. What character represents your mentality?
I could easily think of many characters that, put together, make my mentality. Mae from Night in the Woods, Lara Croft, Gris from Gris, Hermione, Mikasa from Attack on Titan, Kiki from Kiki’s Delivery Service, I could go on.

11. What character represents your mentality?
Oh, this tag is so fun! I’m going to have to snag it😋 Lara Croft would be such a badass travel buddy!
Glad to hear you decided to try my tag out! I know my questions can be very specific and tricky sometimes so it’s not easy to describe answers in detail a lot. But then again, everyone’s writing style is different. I like how you picked Lupin for the answer to the one about confronting fears. I mean, he helped Harry learn to defend himself against dementors, and facing Boggarts could be super useful. But if you have a fear that is more complex than what you mentioned, I’m not sure how a Boggart can turn into it!
The boggarts can find a way. Mrs. Weasley fear is pretty brutal so if it can visualize that, I’m sure it can visualize really any fear.
