There are many, but "George Bailey" in Frank Capra's film "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946) is definitely one of them! I also really like the relationship between Mathilda and Miss Honey in Danny DeVito's film "Mathilda" (1996).
2- The character that scared you the most?
“Chucky” from the movie “Child’s Play” gave me nightmares when I was a child.

Doraemon. Who wouldn't want a robot cat that gives you futuristic gadgets?

A student at Hogwarts. I have always believed in magic.

It's difficult, but probably the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I would like to apply to go to Hogwarts! I also really like the seaside town in the movie Kiki the Little Witch.
6- The world you wouldn't want to live in?
Any dystopian world.
7- What role would you like to play in a work of fiction?
Not one in particular, but I admire certain characters who do certain things at certain times. The kids seeing their house for the first time in the movie Totoro brings back a lot of memories for me. We were doing the same thing when my dad showed my brothers and me our new house that was still under construction. We were running down a hallway made of half-built brick walls, up and down stairs and crawl spaces under construction. It was like a maze.
8- Your earliest memory of fiction?
Dragon Ball.
9- Your favorite word?
I'm not sure. Does the word “Ramen” count?
10- Music you would like to listen to now?
Italian Capriccio by Tchaikovsky. I'm listening to it right now. Original English version:
