Re: Are your favorite characters usually the characters you relate to most?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't really tend to relate to characters? I mean, I don't usually look at them in relation to myself or the real world, more in relation to each other and/or their universe. Sometimes situations characters find themselves in will resonate with me, but characters themselves not so much. I find some characters easier to understand than others, easier to get why they do what they do, but that doesn't usually impact much on whether or not I like them. (It will, however, impact whether or not I write from their POV a lot in fanfic).

My favourites tend to be my favourites because they hit my narrative sweet spots and/or are awesome to watch/read in action. Some of my favourites are people that I would honestly loathe if I met them on the street, because things that happen behind the safety of the screen are so much different from things people do in real life. I adore some really horrible fictional people in ways that I would never tolerate their real-life counterparts, and I'm pretty okay with that.

So ... I think probably relatability is a bit down on my list of reasons?

Same here. I never think of a character in relation to me, and in fact the idea of doing so seems very strange. I'm interested in the character in the context of their world and their story, not because I personally see any bits of myself in them.

Yes, this. I mean, occasionally I might think, "Oh, I sympathise with X because I was never a good student/have this particular fault or virtue".
The one character I've ever related strongly to was dealing with issues that I was also going through when I read that book, so...
