What fictional hero do you look up to?

To be fair, I don't really admire many fictional hero's. As I mostly enjoy historical fiction, the hero's are usually based upon real people. When I was younger however (around middle school I believe), I used to read the Eragon series by Christopher Paolini. I would say that I admired the hero of these books, Eragon. He began as a weak character, and by the end of the series was a strong character, both in physical and mental respects. I suppose I looked up to this character because he contained aspects that I was, and that I aspired to have. The series contains four main books. In the first two, Eragon is learning about his newfound skills, honing them, and trying to save his family. In final two, Eragon is a strong character, and faces different hardships. In all of the books however, he maintains his sense of familial responsibility, realizes his weaknesses in character, and tries to improve. He deals with the death of his family, many of his friends and allies, and others in a very mature manner. As a young middle school student, these qualities where ones that I somewhat had or had heard about, but wanted to strengthen. While I was not warding off any magical dragons or wars, I was going through a period of change much like Eragon. These series helped me through these tumultuous years, and allowed me to see that change was okay, and so was defeat. Eragon was a fun and enticing character to read about; while he was a fantasy character, he contained relatable characteristics that I could model, and see in others. For these reasons and more, I can say that Eragon was and is a fictional hero I look up to.
