:lol: 'I get along all right, in fact it's fun at night, I get four-dimensional dreams. But I have to think before I take a drink, I get hungover times sixteen...'


As far as it goes, I prefer Lyra, though Will is a great character. I just don;t like their relationship.

I voted for Lyra but I also thought Will was a fantastic character, was a hard choice but I chose Lyra because ultimately she's the 'more important' one.

Had to go with Lyra. Will was too much the archetypical "young hero;" I thought Lyra seemed more human.

I felt like I was in love with Lyra, so she is easily the character I like most, but of course I still have huge admiration for Will.

Well said, i fell in love with Lyra's character, Will is cool, and i can easily relate to him, but Lyra is someone who would leave a lasting memory on you. She is probably my favorite fictional character

I picked Lyra. I love everything about her, her mischievous personality, her courage, and her relationship with Pan.
Will, of course, is great too, but he can't beat Lyra.

I never found Will annoying. As a child, when I first read NL (I was 12), I identified with Lyra more. This was, I guess, because she was a girl about my age, and she had adventures of a sort that I wanted to have. (I used to even ask myself 'What would Lyra do?', in a rather silly way.) But as I got older and more distant in age from the characters of HDM, I was able to look at myself and analyse my personality in a more objective way, and I realised that rather than identifying with Lyra, I had aspired to be like her.

There's much more of Will's character in me than there is of Lyra's. As a child, that would've horrified me, but now I don't really have a problem with it. I'm an introvert, I'm cautious, I'm shy - and there's nothing wrong with that. I admire Lyra, but I admire Will more. He was much less suited to the kinds of adventures he and Lyra had, and yet he grew into the kind of person who could cope with them. He had much more to overcome, and so his task was much harder.

That being said, how can you not love Lyra? She's like the cheeky friend you had as a child, the one who did things you didn't quite dare to do yourself (but wished you had the guts to do).
