Which aspects of them in particular?
Have you ever consciously changed your behavior to be more like them?

I don't know that there is a single archetype I aspire to be. There are several characters I take inspiration from, though. Leia Organa, Samwise Gamgee, and G'Kar from Babylon 5 are the three biggest.

And yes, I've consciously changed my behavior to be more like all three.

British ladies, from Lady Sybil Vimes née Ramkins to Miss Marple. I like the kind of power they have. It's a social, soft power that is often underestimated but can be very useful, in the stories at least. They don't have to earn respect, they just have it. Same with money. They have nothing to prove and no struggle; their stories are often about supporting other people through their problems. They lead a household, meaning they manage staff and make decisions, but also have enough leisure time to spend on hobbies. And they're good at networking and keeping in touch with friends and relatives, which I'm terrible at, so I really admire it.

Competent, a good team player, kind but strong, moral.

Basically everything I never saw from adults growing up but believe to be decent human behaviour, I aspire to based on characters I admire with those traits.

Ketchup, mayo, mustard, ranch, bbq sauce, hot sauce, curry, gravy, cheese, gravy and cheese, malt vinegar, chili fries, carne asada fries...

What is the best thing to eat on fries?

1. malt vinegar (because I love vinegar, it is one of my favorite flavors) 2. ketchup 3. bbq sauce 4. cheese 5. carne asada fries but without guacamole because I hate avacado

Never mayo because I hate mayo.

Curry fries are bomb af but I usually just do ketchup on the side with a little salt.

Cheese. Or bread! I love me a chip butty inbetween times.

None. Just give me delicious, well salted crunchy fried potato goodness without any evil sauce to make it soggy and distract from the delicious taste!
If I have to choose, a trace of malt vinegar or ketchup.

Personally I just like dipping them in ketchup/mayo. I don't like stuff on top of fries because they get soggy and gross.

Aioli. I just really love garlic.

Ketchup and mayo. Ooooh yeah.

I'm northern English/adopted by Scotland so ngl I LOVE gravy on top of chips. I'll also happily eat cheesy chips or curry sauce on chips.

One of the takeaway places near me does garlic fries and they're amazing. Since lockdown we've ordered food from them every few weeks on a Saturday for a lunchtime treat and will always have those fries.

But for something on the side to dip I prefer mayo. I remember first encountering mayo with chips as standard when I went to Italy when I was about 12, there was a wee cafe my family had lunch at most days and my sister wouldn't eat anything other than chips. And thinking mayo on the side was weird...then I tried it. It's a lot more common here now but there's still a fair few Brits who will turn their nose up at the idea. Personally I think mayo is better than ketchup for that purpose.

Ketchup is my go-to, but I'm not opposed to gravy, cheese, barbecue sauce, OR meat. Sometimes just plain salt and pepper are good as well.

I don't like actual toppings or dips with mine, but I love adding rosemary and garlic or a chili spice blend with hot pepper, cumin, and garlic when I make oven fries.

depends on what I'm eating them with. Fish and chips? malt vinegar or maybe tartar sauce. Burger? ketchup. almost anything else? aioli.

bbq sauce... or sour cream

Are you just looking for someone to proofread and catch your typos, misspellings and basic grammer errors? Or do you want more than that, and if so, what do you want from your beta?
