My most relatable character is Rincewind from the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett. This might sound a little strange because he is a wizard in a world where magic is a real, everyday event, (except for him) but hear me out. Rincewind is the outcast weirdo in a world of weirdos that just wants a nice calm life and to do well in what he has chosen to do well in. What happens to him, however is he meets weird people that want to go on adventures, gets adopted by a murderous chest that follows him wherever (and I mean wherever) he goes and gets possessed by a magic spell that is so dangerous that all other magic spells are afraid of and refuse to be in the same brain with.
I feel complete empathy for Rincewind. As a teenager I had friends that would drag me out of the house when all I wanted to do was stay home and read. I have only recently stopped feeling like someone would work out that I wasn't supposed to be wherever it was at any one time, University, job ect even though I had earned my place. And I often had people following me around that were good to hold things but not much else. (Horrible, yes I know but truthful.)
That and I am incredibly uncoordinated but manage to scrap through in the end.
My Most relatable character: Rincewind of Discworld fame.
