who would you be?

when i was younger i had this friend.

when we watched movies we would always claim who we would be.

i was Snow White 

(dark haired princess- at that time the only dark haired disney princess)

she was Aurora (Sleeping beauty) - blond.

she was sailor moon

i was Luna (the cat) 

haha..

  

those were fun.  

no reasons except for hair color and kind of animal.

one of my favorite movies was/is The Last of the Mohicans.

we watched it a lot.  

She was Alice.

I was Cora.

and i didn't pick her just because she was a brunette..but that was part of the initial reasoning.

i watched that movie so many times.

i wanted to be Cora.

(i also loved her name and wanted to name my daughter that...dan didn't agree)

i wanted to be a woman like her.

strong.

tough.

gentle.

compassionate.

stubborn.

caring.

when Alice is afraid Cora is her the strength.

individual.

speaks her mind.

she is beautiful.

head held high.

she was thrown into war. into chaos. taken captive.

she could have collapsed.

she could have given up.

she could have spent the whole movie saying "woe is me..life is horrible..."

she stood firm.

she hid her sister's eyes when people around them were being scalped and killed.

i would want to be her when faced with adversity.

another favorite movie (franchise) of mine is 

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

i read the books.

LOVED the books.

my favorite character is Samwise (in both movie and books)

'Samwise the Brave'

but who would i want to be?

Well, Samwise or Eowyn.

they are both characters whom i imagine i am as i watch the movies.

(good thing they never interact or i'd be confused)

they both have a strength of character.

Samwise goes because he is assigned to watch over Mr. Frodo.

he leaves the comfort of his home.

because he believes in the journey ahead.

he stays true to the end.

he fights when he would rather not.

he speaks his mind when he must.

he steps up to continue the journey by his own choice.

he sees the darkness in Gollum/Smeagol when Frodo cannot.

without Samwise Gamgee the ring would not have been destroyed.

Eowyn.

beautiful.

fragile.

gentle.

strong.

bold.

wants to fight.

wants to protect her family and home.

stubborn.

goes to fight.

without her the Witch King wouldn't have been killed.

(he could not be killed by the hand of man)

compassionate.

(another name i wanted for my daughter..it was on the list briefly)

is there a character, in book or movie, that you relate to or dream of being?

do you imagine yourself in the role?

who?

why?
