What Fictional Character Do you Look up to?

I have a tendency to fall in love with fictional characters. When I'm reading a book, I often feel like I know the characters; like they're my friends. One fictional character I truly admire is Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games Trilogy. I love Katniss for her bravery. I love that her bravery and strength is executed by her being herself in a world where she is not allowed to be. I love her for her flaws, how she admits to her flaws but does not let them rule her. Another character in the trilogy that I adore is Peeta Mellark. I love Peeta for the way that he loves Katniss unconditionally. His selflessness and quirks are what capture my heart. 

The last character that I look up to is Liesel Meminger from The Book Thief. Like Katniss, Liesel is beyond brave. She does not conform against her beliefs and is willing to fight for a better tomorrow. There are several similarities between Katniss and Liesel. Perhaps I admire fictional characters that resemble the qualities I'd like to have in myself.
