Top Ten Characters I’d Like To Switch Places With For 24 Hours

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by the bloggers of The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is the top ten characters I'd like to switch places with for twenty-four hours.

Hermione Granger from Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling — Does this really need an explanation? I'd want to see what the wizarding world is like. I think even spending 24 hours in Harry's shoes would be pretty stressful, but I adore Hermione and she acts very much like me, so it would be easiest to be her as I explored this world.

Costis from The King of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner — Yes, I would totally genderswap here, because Costis would definitely give me the best chance to interact with my favorite characters in this series. I'd love to have the chance to have one on one time with the king and to observe the King of Attolia and his interactions with the Queen 

Veralidaine Sarrasri (Daine) from The Immortals quartet by Tamora Pierce — Daine is my favorite Pierce protagonist. She's able to view Tortall with fresh eyes since she's not from there, and I'd love to have the chance to explore this world. And she also can talk to, heal, and turn into animals. That would be one awesome magical power to have.

Arwen Undómiel/Éowyn/Rosie Cotton from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien — I can't possibly choose just one character from this trilogy. Middle-earth is a pretty scary place during the War for the Ring, but I'd love to switch places with any of these females for the chance to explore Rivendell, Edoras, or the Shire.

Sabriel from The Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix — Sabriel is a necromancer who can visit the world of the dead and has the power to control the dead. Yes, the realm of the dead is dangerous and sometimes scary, but how could I resist the chance to explore it for a (very) brief period of time?

Lyra Belacqua from His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman — I want a daemon so very desperately! Lyra has the most wonderful relationship with Pantalaimon, her daemon. I'd love to explore Lyra's steampunk Oxford, as well as have the ability to explore alternate universes.

Gemma Doyle from Gemma Doyle trilogy by Libba Bray — I haven't read the Gemma Doyle trilogy in years, but I'd love to experience the Victorian boarding school setting and the elaborate dresses. Plus I'd love to visit the other-world and have the chance to have power and use magic.

Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen — I adore all things historical England. The manners, clothes, and entertainment of Regency England come to play in Austen's most famous work. As Elizabeth for a day, I'd also get to exchange witty banter with Mr. Darcy...and who wouldn't want to do that? 

Alice from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll — Wonderland is unlike anything I've ever read or seen. Parts of Wonderland are very odd and nothing's like what one would expect, but it would be fascinating to have the opportunity to explore it for a day.

Jo March from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott — Of all the March sisters, I've always felt the closest to Jo. She's spunky, determined, intelligent, and loves to write. I would also like a glimpse into the life of a big family of sisters. I don't think I'd want to live with tons of sisters every day, but it would be nice to experience life in a big and supportive family of women.

Agree with any of these choices? Have any other characters you'd love to switch places temporarily with? Let me know!
