What fictional characters do you find most relatable? Why? Are there any that people would find unexpected or surprising?

Bilbo Baggins. I too just want to stay home and be left alone. But people keep dragging me along to help with their problems.

yes!

Yes! So much yes!

Clyde Bruckman

because sometimes it just feels like everyone is having sex except for me

LOL...

Harry Potter. I used to wear hand me downs, had to do chores, didn't have friends, never celebrated my birthday, didn't get Christmas presents, was constantly talked down to by my mother.

Bilbo, Boromir, Hermione and also Harry (honestly I never got why Ron was supposed to be the one everyone related to, because the other two were much more relatable to me), Dean Winchester, Buffy and also a bit Willow, Luke Skywalker, Donna Noble, Bill Potts.

I dunno, I never found Harry very relatable at all (outside of the things associated with the general protagonist role that he takes on). Hermione was very relatable and Ron was too - the idea of being kind of overlooked, unappreciated, etc, that's something that's pretty easy to relate to for a lot of people, I think.

Harry isn't the typical protagonist to me because he's not especially brilliant or talented (outside being really good at a couple spells). In some ways, he's more average than Ron is. He's the hero pretty much solely because Voldemort chose him. And then because he can't stay out of things, even when he should, because he feels the need to protect everyone.

That's really what I relate to about him. Ordinary person thrust into situations that are out of their control and having to survive. And his sense of responsibility too, that I get. Like, wanting to do everything and hating not being able to.

I guess I just associate Harry with his celebrity in a way that I don't with Ron.

That's not to say that he doesn't go through hard shit, of course.

So you're not the anon above then.

No, and I also didn't respond to them? So?

I really relate to Tommy Vercetti's anger and resentment at being treated as disposable by the Mafia despite his loyalty and service. Nobody who knows me would be surprised by that, though.

definitely hermione as a kid. honestly, there are definitely more, but she's the first one to come to mind for sure.

There's a children's book called The Star Fisher that I read over and over again because I really related to the main character, Joan Lee. She was the oldest and had to share a room with her little sister. She was responsible for her younger siblings and often acted as an interpreter for her Chinese-speaking parents. I really understood the awkwardness that one feels when interpreting and both parties are being rude and insisting you translate their rudeness, but your own sensibilities don't allow you to do so.

Regular-Sized Rudy from Bob's Burgers because he's a pretty fully-realized character who has asthma. I feel like a lot of the asthmatic characters I see in media are defined by being ~the sick kid~, and as much as I love, say, Stevie from Malcolm in the Middle, it's nice to see characters who aren't 100% defined by their asthma. (Any recs for similar character would be appreciated - just sayin'.)

Katherine/Katarina/Kate from Taming of the Shrew. I’m jaded and bitter after a lifetime of having social expectations pushed on me, I prefer to isolate myself but may possibly be lonely deep down, and I have no intention of ever getting married. And I have a nearly perfect younger sibling, to boot.

If I ever met a Petruchio, though, I would call the police. Living in the 2000s has perks.

i related to all bookish, nerdy, unpopular characters, especially hermoine or anne (of green gables)

awkward, gawky, "Not Fitting In", because i was often bullied for knowing things, for being smart, for preferring books to socializing.
