Books are filled with characters that you
wish were real. We’ve all come across characters we’d love to hang out with,
tell our problems to, laugh with…or work with to hatch a plan to save the
world! Some book characters just seem like they’d make the most amazing best
friends, if only they were real.
So with that in mind, I’m going to be picking
my top three Badass Book Besties – three characters that I would love to have
as a part of my friend squad any day.
1). Hermione
Granger
If you need someone to solve a riddle for
you, cast a spell to repair your glasses, or to finish writing your essay,
Hermione is your girl!
Hermione is one of the smartest female
fictional characters ever, as well as the cleverest witch of our age. Her
brains and superior magical abilities are a lethal combination, as was quite
clear in the Harry Potter series. She is certainly the kind of ally you
want by your side when taking on a dark lord or two.
But it’s not just all about the brains.
Hermione is steadfast, loving, and will make personal sacrifices to support
your friendship. She has your best interests at heart…as well as that of the
house elves!
2). Kenji
Kishimoto
Need a friend that will make you laugh? Kenji
from the Shatter Me series is the perfect candidate.
A badass with a wicked sense of humour (and a
healthy ego) Kenji is a great addition to any team. But don't let his wit and
sarcasm fool you. Below his blasé exterior lies a well of complexity and
skills. Not only does he have experience as a soldier, but he can also turn
invisible. How cool is that?!
But if the Shatter Me series showed us
anything, it was that Kenji is a good and loyal friend. Even when you've made
stupid decisions, or are feeling down about your life, Kenji will be there with
words of wisdom...and a joke or two! Although his methods may be
unconventional, at the end of the day you can trust Kenji with your life and
the lives of your loved ones.
3). Magnus Bane
Everybody needs Magnus’ abilities at some
point, so a friendship with him is probably a smart investment!
The common factor in the Infernal Devices,
The Mortal Instruments, and The Bane Chronicles series? Magnus
Bane and his magical solutions. More than half of the characters in these
series would have been floundering about like clueless idiots if it weren't for
the skills of this magnificent warlock. Magnus' immortality is both a gift and
a curse - allowing him to learn from the past and to shape the future.
Another perk of being his friend? The parties!!
Magnus Bane's parties are not something to be missed and as his friend you can
bet you'd be on the guest list. Just be careful not to drink anything...you may
turn into a rat (just ask Simon)!
He may seem self-serving at first glance (or
second glance...or even third glance!) but at the end of the day Magnus Bane is
as much of a softy as his cat Chairman Meow. He'll move heaven and hell for
those he loves.
What do you think
of my fictional friend squad? Who would you pick for yours? Let us know in the

About BookNut
Bookworm. YA & NA blogger. Music addict. Relatively human.
Booknut is a bookworm of the highest degree, OCD about books and jilting Mr Darcy for Will Herondale.
When not sitting glued to her computer screen, she is prone to fervent book obsessing sessions, daydreaming and has a bit of a personality crisis.
Spends days reading, sleeping, writing random short stories, or watching Austen movies for the hundredth time.
She loves her bookshelf (though she would love to trade it in for a Beauty and the Beast-esque library!) her computer, her friends and her followers. Loves anything to do with the fantasy world, would like to live in it and is open to any author requests for book reviews.
Hopes
to one day publish one of her many unfinished stories, but in the
meantime is happily munching away on Snickers bars waiting for fae to
come knocking at her front door.
