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.

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.
