Scarlet D'Vore
Sorry for the short delay. I’ve been a hermit submerged underground, surrounded by large clunks of dirt, a soiled typewriter and multiple torn boxes of blank white paper!
Anyhoo…
To answer your question…
Scarlet & Rhett from the classic Gone with the Wind. Why? Well, since you’ve asked, I truly love the name Scarlet. AND, the historical idea of a much simpler time is quite appealing to me in so many ways. A slower way of life back in those days wasn’t considered boring or a bad thing ... and they somehow made due without Goodreads, giant TV's in Hi Def and the internet!
Not to mention, the notion of a well-dressed young stud (pencil mustache is a sexy bonus) swooping me up in his heated embrace and demanding I acknowledge his heartfelt affection (in a non-violent, non-aggressive way mind you) turns my ‘call me maybe’ into a definite ‘hells yeah!’ and is utterly intoxicating to my beating heart.
Elizabeth Bennett & Mr. Darcy from Pride & Prejudice. Honestly, who doesn’t like the memory of having a romantic ‘meet-greet’ with that special someone. I consider myself a real woman like Izzy with like-minded traits passed down, secret passions anxiously waiting to be uncovered, and a long list of lofty expectations. I can literally imagine England, my mum and grand mum’s birthplace, during that traditional period in time, as if I just stepped off a spinning time machine, wearing an emerald colored Victorian dress, missing a white glove and a glass slipper (my red lipstick smeared). I am courting a young fella like Mr. Darcy who is just as charming … and just as irritable if not more so.
And last but not least…
Ron & Hermoine from Harry Potter. First off, Emma rocks! But being a young woman not afraid to get her hands dirty or challenge the status quo is so refreshing. Plus, the chemistry and affection between the pair, though late blooming, is how a true love tale reveals itself, often in real life as much as in fiction. A guy who is sooo not your type, a guy who is awkward when you're around him and still kind of cute in the right light. A guy who overtime makes his way onto your radar then touches your spirit, without you understanding how, or why. I’ve been there before (without the magic wand mind you) and it can be a beautiful treasure when it finally blooms in the sunlight.
I do hope I answered your question, and I am honored you felt compelled to ask. Of course, there are several more that come to mind, but you don’t want me to paint you a novel, do you? ;-)
