A weekly meme thanks to the creative mind of Ryan of Wordsmithonia.
My Favorite Fictional Character this week is for a few reasons. The first reason is I love this character is this is where I started reading a few years ago and the second is I have a soft spot for dragons. Yes, you read that correctly, I said dragons.
My pick this week is named after the color of her scales, Saphira. Do you see in the picture here how such a beautiful and strong creature she is?Saphira is the young dragon of a young Eragon in the Inheritance Cycle (Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr, 4th book Untitled) by Christopher Paolini.
Apart from being a beast with physical strength and beauty she has a very strong personality. Saphira has a strong belief in the way of right and wrong and the dragons world. Even though she was not raised by dragons, or even with dragons around - being she is on of the last around.
When Eragon questions Saphira as to why she choose him to hatch for and be her rider, her response is because he is good and strong. Saphira sees more in people than what they are trying to act as. She has a strong sense of good and right. Saphira becomes the rock to Eragon.
I saw the movie Eragon and since my son loved it so much we purchased the books. When I got laid off from my job I picked them up to read and fell in love with reading. I found my genre to read and loved the style.
