Top Ten Picks Meme: Fictional Characters

This is a new meme hosted by Jillian at Random Ramblings. The week's (Tuesday to Monday) topic is "Fictional Characters".  I had to think on this a few days. 
Here are the ones I picked - in no particular order although the first five came to mind quicker than the rest.

Several people picked characters from Harry Potter - I picked a different Wizard.
1. Gandalf the Grey from Lord of the Rings.
(Aragorn would be a good choice too.)

2. Chloe from the TV series 24

Just look at this sulk!
She manages the computer sooo well!

3. Sookie Stackhouse from the Vampire Series
by Charlaine Harris. From the book not the TV series.


I'm waiting for the next book due out in May!

4.  Tempe Brennan
from the Bones series
by Kathy Reichs.

Again - the books not the TV series.
She is a wonderful forensic
anthropologist -and very human!

5.  Rachel Morgan from the Hollows series

by Kim Harrison

I have to check my Audible for this

book that was just released.

6.  Yelena and 7. Valek
from the Study trilogy by Maria V. Snyder.

If I forgot that series last week
then it should be added!

I LOVED all three books!

8.  Doc--Delilah Oliver Clementyne the heroine of  Girl Gone Nova
by Pauline Baird Jones
Doc's mission is to do the impossible.
Usually she succeeds!
Sara from The Key, the first book
in the series,  was close behind this choice.

 9. Hawkeye from The Last of The Mohicans

- the 1992 movie.

I like the character.
This is the only movie I liked this actor in.

I had to pin this down because I also like 

John Dunbar (Kevin Costner)
in Dances with Wolves or

The Postman (Kevin Costner)
in The Postman or

Robin Hood (Kevin Costner)
in Robin Hood or

The Mariner (Kevin Costner)
in Water World

But since I was picking the character and not the actor...

10. Lucy Eleanor Moderatz
played by Sandra Bullock in the
Movie While You Were Sleeping
I also liked her character,
Angela Bennett in The Net.
Okay - guess I like quirky characters.

Also rans:
I had these listed but then remembered Yelen and Valek so they got bumped.

11.  Quigley from the Movie

Quigley Down Under

He was a good "cowboy" hero character - 

and I like Tom Selleck! :o)

12.  Dustfinger from  Inkheart by Cornelia Funke -
Again from the book not the movie.

He is an exceedingly flawed character IMHO.

Okay - I will stop now before I think of more. :o)



OHHH - I just remembered another that must be listed:

13. Aloysius Pendergast - The FBI protagonist

from the series by 

Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.

This is a series that my husband will listen to.

He actually has read the latest before me.
