I relate to a lot of characters at any given time. It's kind of my thing. For a while in high school, I really thought I was Cyrano de Bergerac:

Then I decided that Fiona from Four Weddings and a Funeral was a better stand-in, for any number of reasons (but not the smoking and the skeletal frame):

And then there's this girl:

Reading Atonement freaked me out, because I was around Briony's age and I was a writer too, but I would never do the horrible things she did (not least of which, in my mind at the time, was to show her work in progress to her unreliable relatives--how stupid was she?)
So I guess it depends on how I feel at any given time. At the moment, though, I'm leaning towards Fiona. She's definitely the happiest. Plus she's a) not dead and b) awesome.
