Thursday Thirteen

Woo-hoo! It’s Thursday once more which means it’s Friday tomorrow. And as we all know, Friday is a very good thing. Friday brings hope, anticipation…

Okay. I’ll stop now.

This week I was going to take a break from the Q&A type of Thursday Thirteen, but I have one more set of questions to ask you that I am genuinely curious about. So, like last time, answer any or all of the questions here in the comments section or use your answers for your Thursday Thirteen this week.

If you do the latter, be sure to let me know and leave a link!

As for the questions…

Thirteen Questions About Characters

1. Who is your favourite book character?
2. Who is your least favourite book character?
3. What makes a great character?
4. What is one characteristic that makes a great protagonist?
5. What is one characteristic that makes a great antagonist?
6. If you’ve written any stories, who is your favourite character from those you have created?
7. Who is the book character you would most like to see in a movie (a book that hasn’t been made into a movie)?
8. If your favourite book was made into a movie (or even if it has been) what actor would you pick to play your favourite character?
9. When you read a book, what do you like to know about characters and what would you rather imagine? (Is knowing hair/eye colour important to you, or would you rather imagine physical appearances?)
10. If you have written fan fiction about a character, who did you write about?
11. What is your favourite characteristic about your favourite character?
12. If you could be any character from any book, who would you be?
13. What character, from any book, would you most wish to meet in reality?
