1. Harry Potter from the Harry Potter Series- Let's go ahead and acknowledge that Harry Potter will probably make his way onto every list I do, because Harry Potter was my childhood. But, I'd love to have Harry as a brother. It would have been me and Harry against the world, serving justice and defeating Voldemort.
2. Vesper Lynd from Casino Royale- James Bond will probably be on every list as well, this is Bond Girl Blogs, after all. Yes, I know that Vesper is an unusual choice, if you've read the book or seen the movie, you know there's a plot twist at the end, but I'd love for her to be my older sister. She's so chic and beautiful, and she completely holds her own with Bond. She's one of my literary heroines, deadly and fragile all at once.
3. Oskar Schell from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close- When I have kids, I want them to be just like Oskar. He's incredibly curious, he's intelligent, and he's a bit of an oddball. He's honestly the most lovable child character I've ever read, and I would definitely create scavenger hunts for him to follow, and play the tambourine with him when he had on his heavy boots.
4. Vicky Austin from A Ring of Endless Light- I don't have any sisters, but I think if I did I'd want them to be just like Vicky. She's creative and a bit of a tortured soul, but she's the sister you could tell anything. She's so empathetic, and I'd want her around for sure.
5. Reverend Eaton aka Vicky Austin's Grandfather also from A Ring of Endless Light- I'm a bit obsessed with the Austin family. I'd honestly love to be related to all of them, but I really love Vicky's Grandfather. In ARoEL he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, but even as his life nears its end, he doles out incredible wisdom to Vicky and her other family members. He's the grandfather that you would know when something was bothering you, and know exactly how to make it better. Plus, he has a sick library that I'd love to check out.
6. Sam Halpern aka Dad from Shit My Dad Says- Sam Halpern is a character. He's a source of nonstop humor and wit, and at the same time, when it comes down to it, he instills meaningful life lessons in his sons. I'd love for Sam to be my dad. Yes, he'd drive me completely up the wall, but his never ending advice is also a sign of his deep love for his children.
7. Percy Jackson from the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series- I'd want Percy to be my annoying, hyperactive, ADD kid brother. He's well meaning, but terribly unlucky at times, and he's a genuine guy who always stands up for his friends. I'd like to sit by the ocean with him, and eat blue chocolate chip cookies and drink blue Cherry Coke. He'd be such a pain to keep out of trouble, but at the end of the day I wouldn't trade him for anybody.
8. John Keating from the Dead Poets Society- I think I'd like to have John as my uncle. He would be the one crazy uncle that every family has, that all the kids love and secretly wish was their own dad. Every family occasion would be accompanied by standing on the chairs at the dining room table when he came in and greeting him as "O Captain, My Captain." What would be cooler than that? Plus he genuinely cares about learning and would give you the best books to read.
9. Jane Bennet from Pride and Prejudice- Jane would be the sister that would always have something nice to say. Her closet would be your closet. If you needed help she would be there. She'd basically be the most sympathetic big sister in history. She would cuddle you when you needed it, but I think she'd also give you a kick in the pants when you really deserved it.
10. Cecelia Tallis from Atonement- Cecelia would be the poshest big sister ever. She'd be so glamorous, and while I think she would probably be a bit patronizing at times, she'd also be the one who would give you advice on how to dress, how to find a boy, and how to be an independent woman. She's so cool, and I want that cool factor. She and Vesper would have gotten on famously, I think.
Until next Tuesday,
xoxo
Vesper
