Day 15 Favorite Male Character
I'm quite fond of Lestat from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. He is cocky, intelligent, witty, and offers up great tales to entertain. One of his novels was a great inspiration to me and a work I've been working on for some time. I'm not sure I can adequately describe my admiration of Lestat. He just always seems to have answers, yet he is possibly the most irresponsible and immature character at times.
Yes, he's a vampire, but that's hardly the reason I think he is a good character. In fact, he might be the only vampire I actually like. Well, Blade is up there... But he's not really a vampire, he's an awkward hybrid creature and he's a Marvel character... I digress. I think a reason I am so fond of Lestat is because of how flawed he is. I love me some flawed and damaged characters. That's what makes their stories worth reading. It makes them human. And we love when our characters are human.
