Great characters in literature

As we explore creating a character, I want you to think about characters that you remember in great detail. I would love to limit it just to literature, but I know many of you are movie buffs and will relate better to a movie character.

Choose a character, list at least 3 character traits of that person and explain why this character is a memorable character. Be sure to tell what book or movie they are from. Finally, explain what their voice says about them. How would you describe their voice/tone/mood?

Also, remember this is not a competition to see who can be the corniest- ex. Stiffler from American Pie because he is.... (C'mon, please be a little deeper than that!)

Lady Bret Ashley from Ernest Hemmingway's The Sun Also Rises. In fact, this character had such a impact on me that I named by daughter after her.
She is strong, knows what she wants and isn't afraid to speak her mind. The type of woman I want my child to be. The only problem is that this character is quite "loose", NOT a characteristic that I find favorable for my child! :)
