So there’s this list going around about the 15 fictional characters that most struck a chord with you. One is supposed to make the list off the top of your head, but man, I’m really bad at that. It did take me less than fifteen minutes, but I agonized over a few of the choices here.
It’s a solid list, though perhaps some people would question how a list could contain both Hannibal Lecter AND Winnie the Pooh. Or debate with me that Miyamoto Musashi and Hunter S Thompson were both technically real people. I approached both through fiction about them, so I feel it valid to include them here.
The 15 Fictional Characters List
in no particular order
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard – Star Trek: The Next Generation
- Laguna Loire – Final Fantasy VIII
- Hunter S Thompson – Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
- Leonard Shelby – Memento
- Winnie the Pooh – The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
- Randall Flagg – The Stand
- Cyrano de Bergerac – Cyrano de Bergerac
- Batman – Batman: The Animated Series (and other representations)
- Usagi Tsukino – Sailor Moon
- Hannibal Lecter – Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal (books especially)
- Calvin and Hobbes – Calvin and Hobbes
- Odysseus – The Odyssey
- Miyamoto Musashi – Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa
- Charlotte – Lost in Translation
- Daffy Duck – Looney Tunes
Feel free to reply with your own list, or link me to your list in the comments. Would love to see what other people have down for this.

Wow, yes like I said I almost put Flagg on my list, but missed Batman entirely. I am a not-worthy fangirl. Nice list!
Winnie the Pooh almost made the cut for my list, too. And I'm jealous that you put Cyrano on yours. He's a fantastic character.
