Reason They Are Awesome: I love complex characters with confusing backgrounds who are imperfect and clearly human but who try to rise above their pasts. Han is that character.

Book: The President's Daughter series
Category: Heroines
Reason They Are Awesome: She's also a complex character who manages to be completely real in a very removed situation. She's funny, has bad days, isn't always a good friend, and is ridiculously stubborn. And brave. It's almost impossible not to love her, and respect is a given.

Reason They Are Awesome: “I should say upfront that I have never been in a cellar in my life. In fact, I can see no reason why anyone should ever go into a cellar unless there is wine involved.” 'Nuff said.

Reason They Are Awesome: I HATE HER. And I normally don't hate villains. They're often just kind of there for me. But she's layered and has a complex relationship with the protagonist and enough of a personality to, well, make me hate her!

Reason They Are Awesome: I mean, did you ever hate a character that much? I thought about nominating Voldemort but he doesn't even come close to how I feel when I read "hem hem".

Reason They Are Awesome: "Are the shades of Pemberley to be thus polluted?" pretty much sums it up, I think.

Reason They Are Awesome: HE IS TINY COOPER.
I could leave it there, and would not be telling a lie. Everything that Tiny Cooper is, is AWESOME. Here is a little bit of what his best friend Will Grayson has to say about Tiny: “Tiny Cooper is not the world’s gayest person, and he is not the world’s largest person, but I believe he may be the world’s largest person who is really, really gay, and also the world’s gayest person who is really, really large.” Tiny is fabulous. He is a true and honorable friend. He is flawless. He stages a musical about his own life in high school entitled "Tiny Dancer: The Tiny Cooper Story." I hear he does car commercials... in Japan. COME ON. Do yourself a favor, and get to know one of the greatest scene stealers in book history.

Reason They Are Awesome: She lectures Bonaparte on his manners and wields the fiercest umbrella on that side of the Atlantic. What isn't awesome?
