If You Were A Character in a Book, Who Would You Be?

[lady_organa]

Let's play a game dear friends of mine. I was just flipping through one of my writing books...this particular one is on archetypes. I was looking through them and comparing my traits to the archetypes. I don't fit neatly into one archetype. I mean really who would? That would be boring as fuck. That's when I got this idea.

You can describe yourself an already made character like Scarlett O'Hara or perhaps Catwoman. You can do an archetype or whatever you feel comfortable with. Go to TV Tropes and look around. Which do you think fit you? Do you fit neatly into one or are you many?

Got it? Now let's play! Btw I'm making this public, but I can make it private if any of you don't feel comfortable with that.

Galadriel, hands down.

[lady-leia-solo.livejournal.com]

I can totally see that!

[myrrhmade.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha! Dude, I totally would've taken the ring. >=]

[lady-leia-solo.livejournal.com]

Lbr who wouldn't? From from I know of the character I see your traits as nurturing and caring and wise!

[myrrhmade.livejournal.com]

Aww! But I want to be a DARK QUEEN! >=]

[lady-leia-solo.livejournal.com]

Well dammit I admit I would love to be a Dark Queen type too.

Gorbachëv. *procures pollysci book and turns to index: G, гласност: 225, 236* The first page details Soviet Party Chiefs, from V. Lenin to M. Gorbachev, and the second details Gorbachev's policy of media openness, the "increased freedom of expression in the late 1980s".

Um, more srsly, I like the trickster archetype, vis á vis the Cheshire Cat.

[lady-leia-solo.livejournal.com]

Lmao I see what you did there.

Hehe...I went through TV Tropes and found a handful that would apply to me.
The Quiet One (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheQuietOne)
Cute Bookworm (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteBookworm)
The Starving Student (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StarvingStudent)
Beware the Nice Ones (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BewareTheNiceOnes)
er, I browsed TV tropes for like an hour after this...

[lady-leia-solo.livejournal.com]

Oh that last one! The nice ones are always the scariest huh?

I am clearly Scarlet O'Hara. Or at least I totally wanted to be when I was like, 12. And then I wanted to be Blair Waldorf. Most recently I feel like the character I most resemble is Milly Ashford, though...

Disappoint that you didn't pick out archetypes for yourself though.

[lady-leia-solo.livejournal.com]

Haha I wasn't sure who I'd be but I guess I'm going to go with Astrid from White Oleander. She is the character I've most identified with.

[lady-leia-solo.livejournal.com]

Looking through the book I think my traits align a lot with the Maiden. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheIngenue that's what it is on the TV Tropes page.

[lusimeles.livejournal.com]

I can see it!

I think I'm an Ethical Slut (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EthicalSlut)/Good Bad Girl (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoodBadGirl) and Chivalrous Pervert (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChivalrousPervert), haha.

[lady-leia-solo.livejournal.com]

Lmao that last one. I can definitely be a perv as well.

Charatcers: Stitch, Mama Odie, or Dean Winchester

Tropes: Wise Woman, Redeemed Villain, Rebellious Revolutionary

[lady-leia-solo.livejournal.com]

Haha I love that last one!

[http://users.livejournal.com/unnecessary_/]

I think it's pretty damn accurate. ;)
