Is it Uzumaki Naruto from <em>Naruto Shippuden<\/em>? Or is it Elizabeth Bennett from <em>Pride and Prejudice<\/em>? Join me in this article as I reveal the 17 most inspirational fictional characters.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A fictional character is an imaginary person represented in a work of fiction which could be a play, film, or story. There is no fictional work without a character, in fact, this character is the essence of that work as it is the major thing that brings that work to life and makes it have meaning in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is these fictional characters that we are able to relate to when we see a movie or read a book. And although you\u2019ve seen a lot of movies and read loads of books, there is still a character that you love above all else and this could be because of how much they inspire you. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people have learned valuable life lessons from their inspirational fictional characters which they must have had since childhood. This character could be Hermione from the <em>Harry Potter Series<\/em> and Rose from Titanic but for me, it is Tom Sawyer from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer a novel by Mark Twain, and Uzumaki Naruto from <em>Naruto Shippuden<\/em>. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are various categories under which every fictional character falls. These categories include smartest, strongest, fastest, popular, and so on. However, we will leave all of these and only focus on just the most inspirational fictional characters. Without any further ado, let\u2019s see who these characters are.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-attachment-id=\"18730\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/studyabroadnations.com\/inspirational-fictional-characters\/inspirational-fictional-characters\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/studyabroadnations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/inspirational-fictional-characters.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,904\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;CHIDUBEM&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1676647697&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"inspirational-fictional-characters\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/studyabroadnations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/inspirational-fictional-characters-300x226.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/studyabroadnations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/inspirational-fictional-characters-1024x771.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/studyabroadnations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/inspirational-fictional-characters-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\" inspirational fictional characters\" class=\"wp-image-18730\" width=\"657\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studyabroadnations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/inspirational-fictional-characters-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/studyabroadnations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/inspirational-fictional-characters-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/studyabroadnations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/inspirational-fictional-characters-768x579.jpg 768w, https:\/\/studyabroadnations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/inspirational-fictional-characters-880x660.jpg 880w, https:\/\/studyabroadnations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/inspirational-fictional-characters.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 657px) 100vw, 657px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">Most Inspirational Fictional Characters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are the most iconic and inspirational fictional characters of all time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Katniss Everdeen<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eudoria Holmes<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Captain America<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hermione Granger<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gandalf the Grey<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Matilda Wormwood<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Forest Gump<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Atticus Finch<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jane Eyre<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Iron Man<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Elizabeth Bennet<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leisel Meminger<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Uzumaki Naruto<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lucy Pevensie<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chris Gader<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Po Ping<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Janie Crawford<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Katniss Everdeen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Katniss Everdeen is a female protagonist from the <em>Hunger Games<\/em> trilogy. She is a character that is made to be fierce, strong, and a protector of her world. She is an inspirational fictional character that encourages readers to break all barriers to achieve what they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Eudoria Holmes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You must have heard the name \u201cHolmes\u201d used with Sherlock Holmes but don\u2019t know how it relates to Eudoria, well, here it is. Eudoria Holmes is the mother of the three geniuses Sherlock, Mycroft, and their sister Enola whom their mother is focused on uplifting since her sons are already at the peak in their respective fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eudoria Holmes teaches her daughter how to fight, and solve puzzles, and prepares her to fight her battles alone and stand strong in a world full of men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Captain America<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t know Katniss Everdeen and Eudoria Holmes, then you must know Captain America. He is marvel\u2019s favorite and one of the most popular characters. Captain America is everyone\u2019s favorite because of how inspiring, brave, and courageous he is. This character, laden with loads of illnesses, goes on to join the US Army because of the love he has for his country and protecting others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hermione Granger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We can\u2019t talk about the most inspirational female characters of all time and not add Hermione Granger to the list. She is everyone\u2019s favorite character from the Harry Potter series known to be smart, pretty, sassy, and the coolest bookworm ever. Hermione always knows the magic tricks before everyone in her class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is motivated, ambitious, and has an opinion of her own without allowing others to suppress her. Hermione stays true to herself and fights for what she believes in which is what I think everyone loves about her the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Gandalf the Grey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I would actually find it unbelievable if one were to say they haven\u2019t heard of the character Gandalf the Grey. He is a strong wizard in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, a truly wonderful and inspiring character that guided the ring bearer up to the last moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gandalf possesses knowledge about nearly everything and everyone and even though he is extremely powerful, he doesn\u2019t allow it to get into his head. He stays true to his motives and fights for those who need him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Matilda Wormwood<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Matilda Wormwood is a protagonist in Matilda, a popular children&#8217;s novel written by English writer Roald Dahl. This is one of the most inspirational female characters among kids. Matilda is another rebellious character like Katniss Everdeen and Eudoria Holmes that never allow people to put her down and fights against an unjust system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Forest Gump<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Forrest Gump is one of the greatest fictional characters of all time and has been referenced in many books, plays, and films. Although a character of low IQ, Forrest Gump easily proves that having a smart brain is not the only thing that is required to succeed in life but rather one needs to put in the work and dedication to achieve a great result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This inspiring fictional character also proves that there are few people with genuine and good intentions toward others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Atticus Finch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Atticus Finch is one of the most inspirational and motivational fictional characters ever!

This character comes face to face with difficult and challenging life circumstances but does not falter nor give in to the pressures but kept following her heart by doing what is right till the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>10.&nbsp; Iron Man<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like Captain America, Iron Man or Tony Stark is another of marvel\u2019s most loved fictional characters. His transformation from a billionaire playboy into becoming the founder of the Avengers, saving many lives, creating the Iron Man suit, and contributing to the success of many battles fought by the Avengers will bring you to tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>11.&nbsp; Elizabeth Bennet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Elizabeth Bennet is a protagonist in Jane Austen\u2019s novel Pride and Prejudice. Elizabeth is a lively and intelligent young lady that can read others like a book. One of her most inspiring factors is how she does not allow society&#8217;s norms to cower her beliefs. Elizabeth Bennet is one of England\u2019s most beloved characters and is very popular in British literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>12.&nbsp; Leisel Meminger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leisel Meminger is the protagonist in Markus Zusak\u2019s Book Thief and one of the most inspiring fictional characters. The character goes through many traumatic experiences such as the death of her brother and a country at war which shaped her character. Even with all of these challenges, Leisel is still kind, daring, and loyal and shows compassion and forgiveness to her bullies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>13.&nbsp; Uzumaki Naruto<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thought I\u2019d skip Naruto. Impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uzumaki Naruto is one of the strongest, most popular, most-loved, and above all, most inspiring anime characters ever! His most powerful <em>Jutsu<\/em> is the <em>\u201ctalk no jutsu\u201d<\/em> whereby he gives a pep talk to his enemy and changes them to become better people rather than killing them off and this works every single time, well, he is just that kind of guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naruto grew up without parents, the villagers hates him, practically lived like an outcast, and he was born without powers, unlike regular ninjas in the village. But he works hard and pulls through against all odds to become the village\u2019s Hokage and the most powerful ninja in the entire series. Even with all the challenges he faced, Naruto never once gave up on his ninja way which is to never lose and protect everyone around him even if it means sacrificing his own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uzumaki Naruto is a character that inspires you to never give up and with hard work and dedication you can achieve anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>14.&nbsp; Lucy Pevensie<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucy is a daring and inspiring fictional character from <em>Narnia<\/em> a popular fantasy film.
