Fiction or nonfiction: I'm looking for any books that feature a character (or person) who represents your ideal self, a character you wish you could be, or a character whose anchored confidence inspires you to be a better person.
I just finished A Tale for the Time Being and I really wish I were as calm and wise as Jiko (though knowing what she went through to get there). Growing up, Cimorene from Dealing with Dragons was my inspiration.

Honestly when I first read The Lord of the Rings as an awkward and shy 11 year old, I wished so badly to be the kind of person that Frodo and Sam were; to be fearless and courageous in the face of overwhelming challenges simply to do what is right.
