Samwise Gamgee. The true hero of LoTR. “I can’t carry it for you Mr.Frodo. But I can carry you!” Gets me every time.

Easily, Frodo Baggins. The strongest, bravest, and most noble of hobbits.

Really? Not to knock on Frodo, I mean good on him for saving Middle Earth and all, but, he’s a bit dull and whiney.

Tough call, but I’m going to go with Wayne from Brandon Sanderson’s Wax and Wayne trilogy.

Wax and Wayne is now four books. Wayne is probably my favorite of his characters. I love Mat and Nynaeve, too- Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time (for those who may not know).

Yeah you’re right. I have read the most recent one, I just miscounted.

I quite like Mat too, but never could get behind Nynaeve as a character. All the Aes Sedai, even the young ones, seem to have this attitude of “I know everything so I’m closed off to new information” which is infuriating to me. Egwene and Elayne outgrow that somewhat by the end, but less so Nynaeve.

Interesting, because I thought Nynaeve had some of the most and best character growth in the series. But differences make the world go round, IDIC and all. :)
