Top Ten Favorite Characters in Fantasy (Becky)




Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.  

This week our list (brought to you by Becky) is Top Ten favorite characters in the fantasy genre! 

Fantasy is my favorite genre, right after horror haha.  I tend to like antiheroes or straight up evil characters better, possibly because I find them harder to understand and more of a challenge.  So here are my picks in reverse order. 




10. Achmed from Rhapsody:child of blood: tall, dark, cranky and awesome.  What more could you ask from an anti-hero?  He usually does the right thing in the end...usually.

9. Damon from Vampire Diaries: Damon vascilates from outright evil to vulnerable and lonely.  I love a redemption seeker!

8. Vivian from Blood and Chocolate: I like the complexity of Vivian's emotions and her inner strength.  She's  strong woman/werewolf :).

7. Julian from the Forbidden Game:
Who doesn't want a semi-evil demon stalker who may be young and gorgeous right now, but will eventually warp into a disgusting monster?  He was being a creeper when Edward was still a baby.  I like to picture him as David Bowie from the Labyrinth.  

6. Scarlet from Sisters Red:
Possibly the coolest and most tragic female character in fantasy.  She is laser-focused on wiping out the wolf-like creatures that hunt young women.  She doesn't even have time for the attractive boy who is in love with her.

5. Celia from the Night Circus:
Ok, so I mostly want to be Celia, minus the magical torture her father puts her through in her training.  Then I'd get Magic and Marco.

4. Julia from the Magicians:
Julia is cray cray in such an awesome way.  She's really the only character in the magicians I wanted to identify with...at least in some ways.  Her epic struggle to obtain magic was fascinating.

3. Sean from the Scorpio Races:
I love moody, monosyllabic, male characters.  Sean seems so wild yet focused.  Definitely a win for Stiefvater.  

2. Lestat from Interview with the Vampire:
This hardly needs explination. Best vampire ever?

1. Quentin from the Magicians:
There isn't much to like about Quentin and I think that's why I love him.  He represents the worst in all of us, trying too hard, always wishing for more, and screwing up royaly.

Well, that's all I can think of at the moment, but I think they're some pretty great bookish memories, if I do say so myself! So what are YOUR best bookish memories? Link us up!
