QotD: Fictional Friend

What fictional character do you relate to most and why?

Violet

Definitely Violet Baudelaire (in 'A Series of Unfortunate Events'). She's so intelligent, courageous, and simply classic.

Of course, unlike her, I'm not, as Lemony Snicket says, 'reasonably attractive' or genius. God knows how I'm way too silly and ridiculous to be compared with her^^. But there's something in her courage and the way she realizes her distinctiveness that reminds me so much of myself. One of my favorite parts of the movie is when Violet builds a sanctuary for her siblings, particularly desperate Klaus, her younger brother. She's just so sweet and kind. I love my siblings, too. Hehe^^. In fact, I'm the only one in my family who'd hold my sisters and mother or at least sit near them when they cry (my father rarely cries).

I always want to read the book but so sad I don't think I can find the series in Indonesia. I've watched the movie several times that I've even memorized most dialog and narration in it. When it comes to describe Violet, Snicket says (if I don't mishear): "Violet Baudelaire, one of the finest fourteen-year-old inventors in the world. Anyone who knew Violet could tell she was inventing when her long hair was tied up in a ribbon. ..In the world of abandoned items and discharged materials, Violet knew there's always something...." Inspired by her, sometimes I murmur "there's always something" whenever I'm in a hectic situation.

Plus, I like her hairdo very much. I really like the way she arranges the three strands of braided hair at the right side of her head.
