User blog comment:BeholdtheVision/Community Discussion: Favorite Childhood Character/@comment-5593616-20140120212102

I always loved Lilo too! I found her really inspirational.

I have too many favourite childhood characters...so is it okay if I list a few?

Spirit, from Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron - I always loved him because he showed so much strength and courage, all while trying to get back and protect his family.

Remus Lupin, from the Harry Potter series (both the books and the films) - I think it's safe to say there aren't that many characters from HP that I don't like (other than Umbridge really) but Lupin was always one my favourites. I felt like he was always the logic and reason, and idk I always related to him the most. His lycanthropy was a metaphor for HIV, according to JKR, but I feel like it can apply to anything or anyone. He was cast out by society for being different, and didn't fit in. I don't know about everyone else but I always feel like I don't fit in anywhere.

Pongo and Perdita (really Missis, in the books) from 101 Dalmatians - I always admired them as a child because of their determination to rescue their family, and their refusal to abandon all of the other puppies. Plus this was the first movie I ever watched and idk their characters mean a lot to me
