This may be a niche topic, but I’m reading First Snow, Last Light by Wayne Johnston, the last in his Newfoundland trilogy, and I think Sheilagh Fielding is my favourite literary character of all time.
I like when my favourite show always ends with the characters all saying, “What is this? Some kind of house of the dragon?”

Shirley Brown. She got 12 year old me reading independently, encouraged my writing, and defended me when I got in trouble for I wrote for the school paper (nothing scandalous-just being a little shit) Here she is as a teen in the 60s lip syncing Etta Jams’ “Stop the Wedding” on local TV.
