Who would I be??

If I had to choose which fictional character to be, the choice would not be an easy one. There are so many characters that are masterpieces of their author, in that they will most likely supersede time and continue to be relatable for generations to come.
However, if I had to make a choice, it would be Arthur from the children's books and TV show (blast from the past!)
The reason why I chose this is because I think he represents the "Everyman" that was so popular in the morality plays of old; in fact, I've been able to relate to him for years.
Also, he has such good relationships with his friends -- from the insecure rich girl Muffy to the misunderstood bully Binky) -- and family. And even when those relationships are in danger, he always finds some way to make it better. The perfect example is when he manages to rebuild his and Buster's friendship (after Buster got back from traveling the world) by throwing a party to watch his travel slides.
I've just recently started watching "Arthur" again and I'm constantly amazed at how complex and mature (but not inappropriate) it is. And since he is so relatable to all people, I hope it doesn't go away for a long time.
