My favorite character in literature is Peter Pan. Peter has it all. He never grows up. He has the curiosity of a child. He fights evil and cares for lost kids. And he FLIES.
And when he flies, it's not on the power of a machine, it's on the power of pure innocent belief. The fairy dust is just for show.
Who is your favorite character? And why?

to fly without machines!!!!! wow, yeah! he´s lovely!!!! 
Diana character looks desafiante... we all in a way or another sometimes have the feeling that life ows us something or that we missed something without return!!!!!
I like a bit empty-vague-funny personajes: Mattia Pascal/Adriano Meis from Pirandello´s Il fu Mattia Pascal wondering about the real-thing and trying to re-write (without success) personal story & identity, Marlow from Conrad´s "Heart of Darkness", sea sailor leading with a sinking river´s boat, the journalist in "Todo modo", a bored eye that can´t avoid to see... mmm... no idea about female caracters! Lewis Carroll´s Alicia is the only one in my mind now. I´ll think about it!!!!

I'm sure I'll think of others, but right now Huck Finn comes to mind. Why? Because he never completely lost touch with some sense of the underlying "oneness" of human existence, a child's sense of it, even as he overcame so much adversity through sheer will and toughness. He was color-blind, or he at least trusted his own heart and instincts to befriend the slave Jim and team up with him to try and get to where they were going, and he was saddened (and sidetracked) by the senseless war and swindle he encountered on the way. It was just a great adventure (as the title implies), plus he refused to be "sivilized" right to the end.
