How about Bertie Wooster, or Jeeves in the superb Wodehouse stories. Or Adrian Mole, in the first two (and perhaps the best) secret diaries.

My favourite fictional character is Henry from The Time Traveler's Wife. I am so in love with that man it's not even funny...

I don't know if he's the *best* character though... I like the people I read about to be multifaceted. George McDonald Fraser's Flashman is possibly the most interestingly portrayed character I can think of. He made me so mad that at one point I actually threw the book across the room, yet he was so well written I had to keep reading.

How about Acheron. He is abused as a child, killed by a God, which unleashes his God powers, he can never see his mother or the world will end for she is the godess of destruction, and top it off his life fource is bound to the Godess Atremis who get pleasure out of beating him. If it was for his love of human he would have ended the universe thousands of years ago. He is mad, bad, and Immortal. If you have read Acheron by Sherrily Kenyon this is a great book if you like mythology and vampires.

I would have to say Leslie from Bridge to Terabithia. She is so spontaneous, loving, accepting, and willing to stand up for her friend. She is so free and her imagination has no limits. It is truly sad at the end of the book. Does anyone else think she is a great character?
