Characters Most Likely to [Fill in the Blank]

A while ago, Cait did the "#MostLikelyTo Character Book Tag" over on her blog and it looked super fun, so I stole it (mwahaha . . .). Some of these are going to be so hard to do, but I think I can find a fit for every prompt. *cracks knuckles*


Characters most likely to . . .

. . . be overprotective

I'm gonna go with Wolf from The Lunar Chronicles. Anyone who's read the books knows that if Scarlet were to so much as sneeze, Wolf would leap into action with tissues, cough drops, blankets, and an intense glare directed at the person who dared to get her sick. He's a great big teddy bear (or mama bear).

. . . be good with kids

Peeta from The Hunger Games! He'd spend all day playing with them and telling elaborate stories and baking all kinds of delicious treats. He's a character who consistently comes to mind as being this soft and precious cinnamon roll who can do no harm.


 . . . pick flowers for you

Probably Luna from Harry Potter. She strikes me as the kind of person who'd frolic through a meadow and make daisy chains for all of her friends, humming a song by the Weird Sisters as she goes.


. . . lend you their clothes

Abby from the Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda/Leah on the Offbeat! She'd definitely let me raid her closet sometime. Or she'd be the one to lend me a jacket to wrap around my waist if I sat in something weird. Abby's the kind of superhero friend every person needs.


. . .talk with you for hours

Dante from Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. We could talk about anything and everything for an entire afternoon. He'd be perfectly content to just hang out in silence and read or go on and on about philosophical questions.

. . . take time looking at your eyes

Hmm, Levi from Fangirl, maybe? This one was a little trickier. But I feel like Levi would fit this pretty well. He's a pretty observant, stay-in-the-moment kind of person.

. . . say you're beautiful

Monty from The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, because he is a shameless flirt. He'd compliment inanimate objects if it wouldn't make people look at him weirdly. I swear, Monty's like an overly energetic puppy - he chases anything that moves.

. . . take over the world

AIDAN from the Illuminae Files. A psychotic computer with way too much time and power on its hands? Yeah, AIDAN could totally take over the world if it (he?) wanted to. Would not be surprised in the slightest.

. . . survive the zombie apocalypse

Honestly, most of the characters I read about are thrown into apocalyptic situations anyway, so it made it really difficult to choose one person who would be the most likely to survive. I'll choose Diana from Wonder Woman: Warbringer, because she is a for real superhero with excellent combat training, so she's got pretty good odds.


. . . break a world record

Jesper from Six of Crows, because he's a stubborn show-off who would try his hardest to break world record simply to win a bet and prove somebody wrong. The stunt would probably be dangerous and ridiculous, too, and definitely flashy.

. . . stay with their OTP after the book is over

*laughs nervously because several OTPs are dead*


Sooooo . . . let's just throw out Cress/Thorne from The Lunar Chronicles, because I ship them so hard, they'd survive in a rowboat across the Atlantic. They're just too darn adorable, protective, and committed to each other.

. . . leave their OTP after the book is over

Clary/Jace from The Mortal Instruments. I was always a little "meh" about their relationship, and they've had their fair share of rocky moments, so I don't see it working out too well in the future. They might last a while, but they're not solid enough to really survive.

. . . be a drama queen

Hi there, may I introduce you to Maya from Far From the Tree, aka resident fast-talking drama queen? This girl is made of fire and snark, so yeah, I'd say she fits the drama queen bill.

. . . always be happy

*laughs nervously again because several characters are tragically unhappy*

I plead the fifth. Everyone's a mess. xD 



. . . get into a fight

Nimona from Nimona. She's a little unhinged, full of spunk, and ready to kick some ass.

. . . go to war to save you

Alanna from The Song of the Lioness series. It may be a little on the nose, seeing as she's training to be a knight, but if she really cared about you, she'd totally fight off entire armies for you.

. . . laugh at a bad time

Poor, awkward Eliza from Eliza and Her Monsters. She's got a lot of social anxiety when it comes to in-person talking, so nervous laughter at the exact wrong moment wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility with her.


. . . travel the world
Is it cheating if I say Anna from Anna and the French Kiss since she's already been to France? She did enjoy exploring Paris while she was at school, so I wouldn't be surprised if she caught the traveling bug and wanted to see more of the world later on in her life.

. . . dress to kill
Addy from One of Us Is Lying, which may be a little obvious considering the back of the book describes her as "the beauty" and "the picture-perfect homecoming princess." It still fits, though.


. . . become super rich
 

Probably Dimple from When Dimple Met Rishi as she's a budding web developer and could rake in the cash with some awesome program she designs.

. . . get arrested
Solara from Starflight. She's already an outlaw and spends pretty much the entire book running from danger only to find more of it, so yeah, it's a wonder she hasn't been arrested already.

. . . share their food with you

This one was easy. Molly from The Upside of Unrequited! She makes so many delicious desserts and Pinterest-y food and she's more than happy to share it with her friends. What I wouldn't give for some of her cookie dough right now . . .

Tag, you're it! "Steal" these questions for your own blog and/or answer some of them in the comments!

I've had this tag in my drafts for CENTURIES. Still haven't finished it. Still haven't posted it. :')
I can't wait until I can get on with the rest of The Lunar Chronicles. Not long now!

CG @ Paper Fury said...

Ahh I LOVED your picks for this and omg you are 100% right with Wolf there. Also I completely believe Dimple will be rich and famous someday. :') And Rishi can raise the kids while she goes out to work. Alsoooo Monty would 100% flirt with anything that breathes and is remotely pretty so I'm definitely in agreement with that section too.😂 I love Monty omg.

*sobs* Clace...how could you?
FYI they are still together five years after and that is as far as we know. But Jace proposed to Clary. Clary hasn't answered because...because *sobs hystericaly*

The Magic Violinist said...

@Ivy

Ha, maybe now's your excuse to finally post it! I'm curious what your answers would be . . .

Yessss, can't wait to hear your reactions!

@Cait

Thanks! Rishi would make the greatest stay-at-home dad, omg. And heck, Monty would flirt with a tree if he were tipsy enough. He's hysterical. xD

@Sasha

I'm sorryyyyyy! xD It was so hard to pick a couple for this and they're just the ones I feel most "meh" about. Maybe I'll feel differently after a reread?

I never got around to reading the spinoff series, but I saw lots of buzz about that!

Book Maniac 12 said...

Thats okay. I forgive u. I think that they are amazing tho. Also yeah u should read first the infernal devices the prequels!!! Then tales from a shadowhunter academy and the bane chronicles. Then the dark artifices.

Boquinha said...

This is super cute and I even know a handful of these! :)

The Magic Violinist said...

@Boquinha

It was fun to write! It'd be interesting reading a tag like this not knowing many of the characters. I wonder if any books or characters would pop out at you based on the answers, even if you weren't familiar with them.

Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight said...

Oooh this is SO fun! I definitely agree with Peeta- I mean, he's already playing with the kids while Katniss is waxing poetic in a field hahah. And now I really want some cookie dough too! And YESSSS to Jace and Clary, probably one of my least favorite canon couples tbh!

"If Scarlet would sneeze, Wolf would leap in...."
This is so flipping true and hilarious at the same time.

And the others are so TRUE especially your categorizations of Peeta, Luna and Levi!! And DIANA

But yes, Cress and Thorne. *SQUEAL* OTP OTP OTP

And I just ordered The Upside of Unrequited which is arriving in three days and i'm so excited to read it, especially after seeing your comment of her loving book and baking delicious things which makes me love her even moreeee

The Magic Violinist said...

@Shannon

Right?! He was such a natural pick. Glad to hear someone else agrees with me about Jace/Clary! It seemed like I was the only one who didn't understand why they were such an OTP.

@Maria John Writes

I admit, I giggled a little as I wrote that. xD

I WILL NEVER GET OVER HOW PERFECT CRESS AND THORNE ARE.

Yessss, I bet you love it! I certainly did.
