A character to whom I have a great attachment and who I find myself relating to practically all of the time. It's similar to watching a show/movie and noticing a character and thinking, "That's me!" I definitely identify with this character, yet depending on my mood/etc. , I feel a little less linked to them. Oh, and they have to be human. I don't connect with animals very much except for dogs (who are still a bit far away from being a family member). And I refuse to connect with robots or aliens. Self-hood kin can be people I've met or characters in books or movies. I try not to limit myself too much when it comes to this category because sometimes I connect with multiple characters from different sources. For example, I connected with both Ella and Vincent from the book Beautiful Darkness. I also connect with several characters from the movie series The Mortal Instruments. There are so many options that I want to keep exploring! And now for something completely different...
