I have a few characters I love and identify with above the others.
First is Patients. At first you see her as just some sort of silly heart caught up in her experiments and ideas. But when Regal left Buckkeep to its own destruction, she stepped up and took charge. She was a leader who only needed the right situation to truly shine, and in my opinion, she did so more than anyone else! She gave away all her belongings and anything of value to defend the coast and her people. She loved the folk of the six duchies, and was willing to be there with them, at their sides; to fight for what was right. I hope that if I were in the same situation I would be able to rise and lead with such greatness that she did.
Second would have to be Reyn. What I loved about him was his devotion, to Malta, to the city, to his people, and to Tintalgia (before she was freed). Despite what others told him, he remained loyal to his heart and those he knew were worthy of his devotion. He loved and pursued Malta when everyone told him she was not a great match. He wanted the best for his people not matter what, and even though everyone told him the city was something to ravage and plunder, but not to embrace, he still did what he thought was the right thing to do. He was loyal and devoted, and remained that way no matter what.
Third, and Finally, is Ophelia. And honestly, I love her because of her attitude. She is pushy, and nosy, and a gossip, but all the while she is loyal to her family and has their best interests at heart. I think she is funny, witty, and yes, a bit overbearing, but in an endearing way. She saws her mind, and screw who hears it because she knows she is right. She is the pinnacle of a Leading Matriarch, and I find that an amazing trait to possess!

"Everyone thinks that courage is about facing death without flinching. But almost anyone can do that. Almost anyone can hold their breath and not scream for as long as it takes to die. True courage is facing life without flinching. I don't mean the times when the right path is hard, but glorious at the end. I'm talking about enduring the boredom, and messiness, and the inconvenience of doing what is right." -Amber
