Armchair BEA Day 3 - Character Chatter

Character Chatter"It's time to give your favorite characters some love! Characters are essential to a story, and they can make or break a book for some readers. Now's your chance to shine the spotlight on your favorite characters, or maybe your least favorite. Who's your favorite couple? What are the components of a well written character? What are you favorite or least favorite cliches associated with characters?"


Favorite Characters

From Harry Potter my favorite characters are Hermione and Hagrid

Percy Jackson from the Percy Jackson series

Kitty from the Alien series by Gini Koch

Meg from The Others series by Anne Bishop

Daemon Sadi from the Black Jewels series by Anne Bishop

Angel from The White Trash Zombie books by Diana Rowland

I think the components of a truly well written character are that they have to be well rounded and not one dimensional. The author also has to make it so you find yourself really caring what happens to all of these characters. With all of my favorite characters I find myself wanting to know everything about them. All these characters and their stories are very unique too, I think that's what really draws me to them the characters and the expansive world building just make it so it's extremely difficult to put down any of these books once you start.
