My sister Ellen tagged me and I am supposed to:
From books you have read:
Name 3 Characters you wish were real so you could meet them.
Name 3 Characters you would like to be.
Name 3 Characters who scare you.
So here we go…..
Name 3 Characters you wish were real so you could meet them.
Aslan! Oh would that be great!
Aunt Dimity! I would love to have a journal talk to me.
Father Tim, from Mitford!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Name 3 Characters you would like to be.
Dearest Dorothy. I want to grow old gracefully and not be a cranky old lady!
Nancy Drew. Solve all those mysteries dressed so stylishly!
Hadassah – Wow to be so strong!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Name 3 Characters who scare you.
The witch in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.
Dementors from Harry Potter – YUCK
Mr. Canis (hundreds of years old) from the Sisters Grimm books - Granny’s companion and friend, this grouchy old man’s frail frame disguises his true self. Canis is, or was, The Big Bad Wolf, a murderous and legendary Everafter. The story of how he gained control of his other identity is unknown but his struggle to maintain dominance is on-going.
With a descritption like that, you never know if he is going to be good or bad!
This was fun!! Okay I tag Maria, Karen and Jennifer
Update! April 27th
Check out Maria’s responses in the comments section!
Oh yeah! Father Tim…it would be good to have a meal with him and his artist wife (Cynthia) boy my old brain is failing me. Nancy Drew! now that would be cool.

Oh, what fun! Any sister of Ellen’s is a friend of mine! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a note!
The Witch is very scary–I agree. I didn’t think of her but she’s right up there with the scariest of scary. When I was a little girl I was scared to death of the Wicked Witch of the West. I used to run down the hallway when she came on our little black and white TV and then peek until it was safe to come out again.

Okay, here we go:
- Name 3 Characters you wish were real so you could meet them.
Ben and Quan from Randy Alcorn’s novel, Safely Home. So much I would ask about the genesis and evolution of their eternal perspectives.
Bottom from Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream–I love incurable dreamers!
- Name 3 Characters you would like to be.
– Israel’s leader, judge, and prophetess–and example of servant leadership.
Anne of Green Gables – ahh, imagination!
Elizabeth Bennett – ahh, wit and eloquence!
Deborah – (although not fictional
- Name 3 Characters who scare you.
Macbeth and wife (capable of anything to have power)
Ophelia (from Hamlet—spiritual and psychological weakness)

I see a Shakespeare fan!
Deborah was a great non-fictional choice. I didn’t even think to go that direction.
Nicely Done! Thanks for participating. This has been fabulous fun!
