Top Ten Tuesday REWIND: Top Ten Most Inspirational Characters

 

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's Top Ten Tuesday asks bloggers to go back and do a topic they've missed over the years or recently or a topic they really want to revisit. I choose Top Ten Most Inspirational Characters. The following characters  are in no particular order.

1. Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling shows that being smart and a leader is not a bad thing. Although she loves to read and loves to learn, friendship is extremely important to her. She is a good role model for females.

3. Severus Snape from the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling is ambiguous and the most complex character in the Harry Potter world. He blurs the sense of black and white. He truly is a hero despite what everyone thinks, always.

9. Audrey Rose Wadsworth from Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco is a quintessential renaissance woman. Not only does she like the finer things like embroidery, tea and conversations with females but she also loves to learn and can do anything that a guy can.

She can do it all despite her gender as a lady.

10. Adelina Amouteru from the The Young Elites series by Marie Lu can manipulate illusions. Although, her father and many others see her as a disgrace and an outcast, she is a strong-willed anti-hero.
