The meme making the rounds is "Which fictional characters did you want to be when you were young?", or something like that.
This is a question that I thought I'd have a dozen answers for, but upon serious pondering I can't come up with much. Two spring to mind immmediately.
Arha, from the Earthsea books. That's right, Arha, not Tenar. (Tehanu is my least favorite of those books.)
Jean Grey. Awesome cosmic power and great hair, what more do you want? I would have kicked Scott to the curb immediately and run off to Canada with Logan.
Besides them, I'm not sure. Of course, I didn't start reading Barbara Hambly till college, and I wanted to be tons and tons of her characters.
As for the "Which fictional characters did you have a crush on?" meme, there are too many to hope to count. If there was ever a arrogant snarky mage in a book, I probably loved him. (I adore Raistlin Majere to this day, even though those books suck ass.
