Both [info]mind_of_richard and [info]doc_mystery are at this meme so who am I to resist?

Top ten fictional characters


  1. Ged - A Wizard of Earthsea et al.

  2. Pooh - A. A. Milne's bear of little brain

  3. Monkey - from the NTV show of the same name

  4. Loyal to the Group of 17 - The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe

  5. Odysseus - Homer's wanderer

  6. Miles Vorkosigan - McMaster Bujold's hyperactive troubleshooter

  7. Griselda - independently minded women from Oliver Dickinson's Pavis stories

  8. Hu San-niang - as played by Sanae Tsuchida in The Water Margin TV show

  9. Philip Marlowe - Chandler's knight in a raincoat, particularly as played by Humphrey Bogart in The Big Sleep (1946)

  10. Mal Reynolds - Captain of the Serenity in Whedon's Firefly



Of course, these choices are subject to change without warning or reason.

Ooo! I'd forgotten about (4), and (1), (2), (3), (6) and (7) are all favourites of mine too :-)

Not a fan of Captain Tightpants then? Aww!

Interesting top ten. Not sure I would wring a consistent top ten out of my puddled little brain right now but maybe after I have finished the new Harry Potter.

Wouldn't have guessed 2. You have been quiet about an affection for the hummy one. I thought your child's heart belonged to small pig. Would have to reread to remember 4. Also number 8 is a small surprise. I mean I knew you liked her but not top ten kind of like. I will always think of her as being played by Miriam Margoles though, as it is the voice I think of as much as the face.

Once more - does David Bowie count as a ficitonal character?
