Top ten characters in books that we wish were in our family

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish.  Each week, we get a theme to list our top tens. 

This week is all about those characters in books that we wish were in our family!

I wish those following characters to be in my family:

1) LEE from East of Eden by John Steinbeck: I think he is one of best character in the book. He is unlike any other servant. He himself says that a servant can be the master of the man he is serving. But we never see him imposing on Adam Trask at any place. He is more of a family to them than anyone else. He is the one who brings up Cal and Aron single handedly. It is he who keeps them together. He is practical, down to earth and lots of philosophy going inside him. 

2) LIESEL from The Book Thief by Marcus Zusack: As a daughter. She is spunky, responsible and very lovable.

3) HANS THOMAS of The Solitaire Mystery by Jostien Gaarder: As a son who brings fantasy and mystery in our lives. Who helps is in merging reality with mysticism.

4) ALICE of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll: As a little sister who has a vivid imagination.

5) INMAM of Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier: as a lover/husband. He does not speak much of his feelings but his love for Ada is unfailing, all enduring.

6) IRIS of The Blind Assasssin by Margaret Atwood: as a big sister. Despite Iris's stocism, we see her shimmering anger. Her precise revenge. She is calculated too in what she is doing. When she is telling her story, we get to hear her inner voice too and her introspection. And I feel that makes her a good elder sister.

7) CAPTAIN HADDOCK of Tintin Adventures by Herge: Who would'n't love to have him as a brother? His usage of colourful language would be so welcome!

8) CELLIST of The Cellist of Sarajevo by Stephen Galloway: I need a fearless cellist in the family who would go on playing all the time unmindful of adverse circumstances!

9) LISBETH SALANDER of the Millennium trilogy by Stieg Larsson: as a cousin. Who wouldn't wish for a brilliant computer hacker in the family?

10) MARMEE (Mrs March) of Little Women by Louisa M Scott: as a mother figure. She is the perfect mother one can have.
