S is for . . .

S is going to be a top three, because I have a list of nine off the top of my head. And because these are all great characters.

Sydney Sage *Spoilers, kind of* I know if you’ve read Silver Shadows, you’re like, “Brooke, no. That is not her name”, but I assure you, it is merely an attempt to save people from spoilers. I definitely did not forget. *End spoilers*

Book(s) She’s In: Sydney first appears in Blood Promise, the fourth book of the Vampire Academy series. She also plays a big part in Last Sacrifice, book six. Also, since Richelle Mead is awesome, in the entire Vampire Academy spin-off series, Bloodlines, Sydney is protagonist.

Favorite Characteristic(s): Sydney is really an amazing character. Because she’s a Richelle Mead character, she is a strong character who undergoes great character development. She is also exceptionally smart, and although I’m not half as smart as her, I can relate. When we first met Sydney, I thought she was kind of ridiculous, for lack of better word, but that she had potential. And boy, did Richelle Mead use that potential. I always love a character with good character development, and while I think parts of Sydney will never change, she definitely has that.

Favorite Quote(s): Again, six books written by Richelle Mead. Again, here are the links to the goodreads page and daily quotes. But how can you hear “Centrum permanebit” and not get all the feels?

Severus Snape

Book(s) He’s In: Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling.

Favorite Characteristic(s): Snape’s story gives you all the feels. I know that James and Lily were incredibly in love, but I can’t not ship Snape and Lily. I’ve tried. It’s never going to happen. I love a character with a good story.

Favorite Quote(s): “Always” No explanation needed.

Sapphire (Saf)

Book(s) He’s In: Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore. If you haven’t read these books, you need to. I say that a lot, but seriously, read them. Everyone in the world, should read these books.

Favorite Characteristic(s): What I like about Saf is very similar to what Bitterblue likes about Saf. I know that only makes sense if you’ve read the books, but I’m not really sure how to explain it, I like that he’s different from so many of the other characters and that he’s a commoner, and that he’s just so realistically human.

Favorite Quote(s): “I’m afraid of plenty of things,” he said. “I just do them anyway.”
