Who do you relate to the most?

When you read The Chronicles of Narnia I'm sure there are characters in which you can relate to by virtue of your own characteristics. You get so caught up in the story you begin to see yourself as that character, because there are so many commonalities you share with that character.

For those of you who have read all the books in the complete series, I ask, which character do you relate to the most, and why?

Once I complete the books I hope to reply and share with you the character I mostly relate to and see so much of myself in.

I relate to Susan Pevensie the most, because just like her I am bossy but, I do have a heart. I am always there for my siblings whenever there is a time of danger and when it is needed most.
 
Hurrah for the bossy, yet kind and gentle out there! I think I most relate to Susan, but I could also pass by with saying Lucy, because I tend to explore a bit and take some risks...
 
I'm Caspian on the website thing. *grrrrrrrrrrrrr* bossiness! *grrrrrrrrr* if you were susan, wouldnt you hate being called "Susan the Gentle"?
 
i relate to.......

my dears with a sweet and enquistive side to myself i somehow relate most to dear little lucy of whom first comes upon the enchanted land of Narnia at the back of that old wardrobe what had been locked away and hidden beneath a sheet. * bows down to lucy* i am your humble servant miss.
 
I relate most to Peter, though my favorite character is Edmund.
I relate to Peter because I am the oldest of 4 children, and the order goes boy/girl/boy/girl just like the Pevensie's. Being the oldest requires great responsibility like Peter had too. And, according to my mom, I treat my little brother the way Peter treated Edmund at first in the movie lol!
 
I relate the most to Susan. I am the oldest of four (two girls two boys), so I naturally tend to look after and boss around my siblings. I'm also the cautious type but I know that when things have to be done, they well...have to be done. At the same time, I'm also a bit like Lucy because I wouldn't mind fighting alongside the boys. And I'm an archer, I can ride on horseback, I'm learning how to swordfight and I know quite a bit about "healing" the ill. :)
 
There was a time I would've told you Peter...but that was because I was mistaken. I'd most like to be like Peter, the perfect hero, a leader, the rock and an all around swell fella. But I think I'm closer to Edmund.

I'm not saying that I would sell out anyone, or betray anyone...at one time maybe (and who doesn't fail now and again?) but the reason I relate most to him is because, he came back.

Edmund's not perfect, but he made up for his mistakes in the end (which is what I think everyone should do...rectify their errors) he even tells Eustace about it in Dawn Treader. I can totally relate to Eustace too, but honestly when I was a little kid, I really was like that...toadying, know-it-all, :p Yeah, bad I know.

Edmund and Eustace to me are the most "real" characters. I wish I could be Peter but I'm more Edmund...not quite perfect but not evil either. *shrugs* But I'm still one of the good guys.
 
I didn't expect to find so many Susan lovers, but she's the one I most relate to aswell. I sometimes get the impression that Susan would have been content as a practical, even-headed atheist if she hadn't been faced with the reality of theism in Narnia. She always seemed the most real of the humans in Narnia to me. Poor old Susan.
 
I would love to be called Susan the Gentle! Because I am...But I am the eldest girl in my family out of 5, two older brothers above me, and a younger sister and a twin bro, but I tend to be the bossy one...my sibs tease me because I act like the mother sometimes...

Hmmm...tough one, but I think when I was a kid I could relate the most to Edmund-supremely mischievous, rebellious, and a tease. :) But, now I think as I have grown up, I have become like Professor Digory Kirk-intelligent (he's a professor after all) and serious, but still a big kid at heart.
 
Susan an atheist?! I doubt it personally...after all she tends to act very "Christianlike" and "motherlike" as well. Not that atheists can't but I just don't see her as one. :p if that made any sense!
 
she did also deny the whole times they had in narnia once she grew up as well and thats a major theme played out in the last battle.

I relate to Edmund the most, I think. I'm the third of four children myself (though I have a twin sister-she's older by a minute). I also tend to have the whole 'attitude' thing he has going on in the LWW, with the teasing of people and stuff. >_< But overall, I'm a nice person, like he becomes towards the end of LWW. So yeah...
 
I relate to Peter

This is going to sound wierd but I relate to both Peter and Edmund.
Peter is the oldest and he feels a strong responisbility for everyone else. And he seems to have the job of being a leader forced upon him.
I have a group of friends that are more like sisters to me but I am older than all of them by at least two years. So naturally I feel like the leader. Some of the girls lean on me heavily for support especially when there isn't a mother in their life.
And it does feel like I am constantly in a battle (spiritually) hoping I'm doing the right thing but wondering if I'm not.

I am like Edmund because I am sentimental. In the movie he goes back in the house for a picture of his Dad. I would have too. He has older siblings that are trying but only come off as bossy. He sinned but felt so much remorse and really did turn his ways. But then he felt like he had to prove himself.
Plus he has trouble with the rules. So do I.
So I think I am a mixture of both but most like Peter.
