When you were 12 years old or younger, which real or imaginary children’s literary character did you want to be? ~

Anne Shirley from Anne of Green gables. 

Peter Pan

Ralph ('Runaway Ralph')

None of them. I never read children's literature. My first books were a set of science books.

I thought and thought  -- (I read your question a couple of hours ago)  -- and I realized: I've never wanted to be any fictional character in any kind of art. I might admire characters but I didn't want to be them.

I realize he is not a literary character but the closest to my wanting to be a fictional character is Daffy Duck.
Even younger than twelve years old, I admired his never-waning self-confidence. No matter what predicament he found himself in, his self-confidence (and senses of humor) was always strongly intact.

(Another long non-answer from WQ, ha!)

Mary Poppins

Bilbo Baggins.
