So, pretty straight forward question, who were your childhood heroes? Any that u really identified with?
Mainly talking fictional I guess but it could be anyone !
Give us some names!!
For me, it was always Usagi (or Serena as they translated it in English) / Sailor Moon …
fighting evil by moonlight !!!
She was my hero, and totally wished I was her!! (I knew all the poses and transformations and had all the wands, of course  ) Nobody really compared, not even the pink power ranger!!!!  |

Megara from Hercules (the Disney film). So full of sass, curvy, epic. Just epic.
Mina Harker because she was badass, intelligent, not a push over (I wasn't a teenager when I read this so counting it as childhood hero).
And predictable af but Hermione Granger. Still don't get Ron but yes. Hero.

Barry Sheena - Motorcycle racer. I loved motorbikes as a youngster.
Phil Lynott - Lead singer of Thin Lizzy.
Boo Radley - Fictional character, who’s brave actions to save a couple of Children’s lives, can never be recognised due to his chronic shyness. |

Before I read it I was a different person. Afterwards I thought I was a better person it taught me so much.
I absolutely hate the follow up book ‘Go set a Watchman’ especially what happened with Atticus. Read it once and never again. |

‘He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a pair of good luck pennies and our lives.’
I had to hide my face in class as I had tears rolling down my cheeks, when that was read out.
The fact he gets no credit for his heroism and the townsfolk still see him as a creep, kills me inside when you know he’s the total opposite.  |

I read it for GCSE and it struck a chord. I never read the follow up and from what you've said I think that was for the best. |

It was. In truth it'd be easier to do an Arnie top ten.
Is it the classic pose from the cover of the VHS? I want to get a Yautja mask with my name in their alphabet. |

"Darrell from the Enid Blyton Mallory Towers series. The line "Darrell was a forthright girl" is forever burned in my memory
"
I so wanted to go to a girls boarding school after reading my cousin's copies of those and the St Clares books.
I'm betting JK Rowling read them as a girl. |

Give us some names!!
For me, it was always Usagi (or Serena as they translated it in English) / Sailor Moon …
fighting evil by moonlight !!!
She was my hero, and totally wished I was her!! (I knew all the poses and transformations and had all the wands, of course ) Nobody really compared, not even the pink power ranger!!!! "
Checking out Usagi....
Mine were....Troy tempest... Virgil Tracey and Captain Scarlett  |
