Out of all the books I've read my favorite character has been Isabelle lightwood from The Mortal Instruments series, but just because she is my favorite character doesn't mean I want to be her. Isabelle is girly but badass, tall and fierce, and everything I admire in other women, but I don't want to be her, or any other fictional (or even nonfictional) character. I just wanna be me, and I wanna be me to the best of my abilities. Sure there are some aspects of me I want to be similar to fictional characters, like Isabelle’s poise in heels despite her already towering over guys or her unwavering confidence around the opposite gender, but I don't want to be exactly like her. I want to be me because I know for a fact that I don't want to deal with the problems of fictional characters: saving the world, avoiding death, being an adult, finding time to go to the bathroom (when do characters in books actually ever go to the bathroom?! Its not good to hold it in for a long time!).
