Here are some favorites: Remedios the Beauty from <i>One Hundred Years of Solitude</i>, Luna Lovegood from <i>Harry Potter</i>, River Song from <i>Doctor Who</i>, Zoë Washburne from <i>Firefly</i>, Amos Burton from <i>The Expanse</i>... I would love to read/watch stories with them as main characters.

All time favourite needs some thinking, but the last book I read was Ocean Vuong's "On earth we are briefly gorgeous" and the character of the grandmother...wow! Told from her point of view, parts of the story would have been so much more heartbreaking, I think. Didn't write to the prompt... but have posted a different poem though.

But she is so well expressed in both the writing and the acting that there is nothing I could add. So I am not writing about her, but chose a different character from a different story; one I believe I understand very well.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.com
