Which Animorph Do You Identify Most With?
« on: April 02, 2012, 01:09:43 AM »
I am sure there are a million "Which Character is Your Favorite?" threads. SO, my question is: Which character do you most identify with? Or, which one would you most like to be like?

I hold many of Cassie's ideals (big believer of the interconnectedness of everything + the importance of diplomacy) but with Marco's more pragmatic personality/demeanor. I don't take myself seriously at all and probably never will. I'd rather spend the day being lazy, getting drunk with friends and watching terrible movies than doing something serious or productive. Also, I tend to hide behind humor b/c like Marco, I'm not big on focusing on emotions.

So basically, Marco is my spirit animal  :P

Each time it comes up, you have to try and make your best decision. Most of the time, I guess I have to go with being smart and sane. But I don't want to live in a world where people don't try the stupid, crazy, hopeful thing sometimes."

I'd say Marco, maybe. Among the Animorphs, anyway. The character I identify the most with is the Ellimist, oddly enough.

Interesting topic, I'd have to go with Tobias because I'm more of a loner in life.

When I was younger, I'd probably have said Tobias. Now I'd say Marco. I've pretty much taken up his life philosophy. XP

Jake and Tobias, with a pinch of Ax, I suppose.

Tobias and Ax, for a number of reasons.

I've always been the isolated one. A target for bullies and at times I grew up in very abusive situations. Like Ax, I grew up not always knowing the appropriate way to interact with other humans and I could be very arrogant and pompous.

Like Tobias, my solution to problems might full well have led to me winding up in a mental hospital if not comitting genocide to an entire species. (Yes, I know I'm borrowing from Pop's views here, but it really does cement my decision more.)

I suppose all Aspies can identify with Ax in some way.

Its hard to pick just one.  Probably a mix of Cassie/Tobias/Marco.  I like animals, and helping people who aren't jerks, but like Marco when people's lives are really on the line I'd always take the pragmatic approach to protect them, even if it ended up with me feeling guilty.  As for Tobias, if I had the chance to escape my family at that age with morphing power, I definitely would have done it and just hung out in the woods with the cool aliens until the war was over and I was old enough to live on my own.  Though I don't think I would have become a nothlit, I like keeping my options open.

I think Jake. At least that's what I got from this: http://animorphsforum.com/index.php?topic=7380.0

Although, I think the scholastic site has probably changed in all this time.

Merely vague concepts… their "reality" may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?"

I'm more of a mixture between Cassie and Tobias in the personality department. I am the peacemaker when it comes to my family and my circle of friends. I am kind of shy and treasure the few people I consider friends like Tobias. But I can have a serious side like Tobias can and I am not a fashion person like Cassie.

The character I'm probably most like is Cassie. I love animals, have a complete lack of fashion sense and I do believe in trying to see things from other people's point of view. But I didn't agree with all her morals in the war and am way more lazy than she is.

I find it interesting that many people identify most with Cassie, the most generally disliked character.

Maybe we don't want the heroes in the stories we love to have "regular" human characteristics?
