When I was a little girl, I strongly identified with Ramona the Pest. I haven't reread those books in over 30 years, so am not sure if I still would or not...but I do have a video of me boinging my daughter's blonde super curly hair.

i keep thinking about this thread and it bothers me because i know theres movies&books ive really gotten into because i identified with a character but nothing is coming to mind. i think its because i identify with certain aspects of a character but i wouldnt necessarily say they are similar to me.
the only one i can think of is when i was a kid i identified with matilda because i thought i was smarter than everybody else lol.
i'm going to keep thinking
characters ive been compared to but don't particularly relate to: pam from the office, monica from friends
I can still kind of see why I pulled these characters out, but honestly I don't know of many that really fit my social character. It's just I tend to be quiet and more affable than these people. Eh, I'm sort of Billy Crudup-ish. And I'm not sure how I feel about it. He's sort of a dork.
speaking of which I can't make a spoiler with a video of him being a dork, which incidentally makes me sort of an idiot.

Yeah, it's the same for me. There's also the situation in which people see a certain archetype in a movie and think "wow, he's so cool, I wanna be like him!", but that isn't necessarily identifying with that character. I mean, if you can already see basic similarities, it certainly motivates you even more to imagine yourself in the role of the hero/antihero/villain.
There must have been characters I could identify with in the past. But I just can't think of one right now...

This guy to some extent
I never identify with the heroes in most stories. I tend to identify only with soldiers who die doing their duty.
For example, in Star Wars, I identify with the rebel soldiers who appear at 2:20 in this clip. (The firefight starts at 3:08.) They heroicly fought and died for their country / liberty. The official hero of the story is Luke Skywalker. I can only identify with him to the extent that he aspires to represent the rebel soldiers of rebel alliance which are the true heroes of the story.
The exception is Frodo and Bilbo Baggins. They respresent a mystical connection to a moral sense, through the One Ring which they both covet and hold in great trepidation.
I identify with most of the characters in the Arthurian tails, both King Arthur and his Knights, except Lancelot who is too much of a stud for my tastes. Even King Penedragon and King Uther are of interest to me. I also like King David in the Bible.
I love the forelorn quests of knighthood!

I already posted in here awhile ago, but...
The Ellimist (Animorphs)
Dr. House (House M.D.)
Topher Brink (The Dollhouse)
Jon Snow and Tyrion Lannister (ASOIAF)
Bastion Bux (The Never Ending Story)
Paul Atreides (Dune)

Sayuri from Memoirs of a Geisha
Johnathon Levinson from Buffy. Really shady of Joss to kill him though, but he knew he was a good person and killing him would make other people be angry/pissed off. Joss Whedon is a narcissistic demon, an embodiment of The First Evil himself- that's why he can write good/evil issues so well.
Johnny Fontane from the Godfather Book. I doubt I would react to the situations he's in any differently than he did.
Easy Day
I identify with Gilly as far fictional characters go.
hmm i was thinking of Sayuri from the novel, rather than from the film - not that the two characters are necessarily hugely different from each other, it's just that the novel provides a wealth of information in regards to Sayuri's thoughts, motivations, feelings, perspective, etc. (that i relate to) that the film does not.
the film was ok but i preferred the book it's one of the only books that has made me cry (the other is The Jungle)

Dual type (as per tcaudilllg)

I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

Amelie from Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain
Midna from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
and some others I can't think of right now.
i could also say, to some extent, Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones, but i've only seen the TV show - i want to read the books.
I'm not sure if I identified with her... maybe to some extent but I loved, really loved Anne of Green Gables when I was like 10-14.

analucia cortes from lost
ash from army of darkness
sam tarley from game of thrones
Now that I thought about it, some characters come to mind, even if I also know some reasons why they're not like me.
„Man can do what he wants but he cannot want what he wants.“

Fezzik from Princess Bride (".. that would be unsportsmanlike..")
Joe Chip from Ubik
Ash from the Evil Dead series
SOME of Don Quixote's character
So you're my fellow Anne reader . I think these books are universal, my SLE classmate also loved them and I remember I was jealous (why??), I even thought they didn't suit her
Matthew: SLI, Si type for sure
Marilla - she could be also LSI but LSE makes sense
Diana - I think she's a sensor, she looked up to Anne and her imagination. Could be SLI, maybe ESI
Gilbert - must be LSE. He was fun and could joke around from what I remember. SLIs aren't so much this way.
I think I need to come back to these books. The world that is presented there is hmmm so warm that you don't want to leave it. I always regretted when I realized that I've already had read more than half of a book... sigh
lol sorry I didn't respond to dinki's question about why I'm like him...
I'm like Johnathon because of the being bullied a lot (that also destroyed his self-confidence) and his knack for putting other people into his sock puppet theater. (16types adventures) I'm a lot taller than him though, and a bit more stern/confrontational. And I've had sex more than him. He died a virgin in his early 20s I believe?
Also yeah he was the guy that got stabbed by Andrew. His best friend who is so much like Zap to me. And yeah I've always been kinda close friends with the Zaps of the world so it made sense. Joss Whedon is such a know it all narcissist lmao.
The poor bastard from White Nights by Dostoyevsky, kind of but not really.
kiefer sutherland I liked him in 3 musketeers as athos, a few seasons of 24 when he's in love and it ends badly due to his own stupidity or actions.
Jesus
Rustin Cohle of True Detecitve- Probably relate more to him than any fictional character I've encountered.
Howard Roark of The Fountainhead- He completely lacks humanity, but it's more his ideals I relate with. Though sticking to them as obstinately as he did is a good way to get eaten alive by the world.
You got married?!?! (i may have you confused with someone else). But congrats! (If it's recent) yeahhh I might be confused..
I relate to the main charachter in Frances Ha.
I'm not sure I resignate with this charachter but I hear this comparison every couple of weeks- (her name escapes me)- but the French young lady in Inglorious Bastards.
