WHAT A CHARACTER

A fictional character that has really made an impression on me was Margo Roth Spiegelman from Paper Towns by John Green.  She was this mystique of a person and had this self created persona that made her seem as though she was always in control in every situation even if she was at an impasse.  She had everyone fooled because this strong exterior failed to show that she was crumbling on the inside.  All of Margo's insecurities were so suppressed that nobody had any idea that she would question her life to the point of if it was worth living.
Margo's speech was full of metaphors and similes.  She would make unlikely comparisons between things but it would end up making a lot of sense.  This added to her eccentric personality.  She her choice of diction was also important to her character.

“We bring the fucking rain Q, not the scattered showers.”

That seriously sums up Margo Roth Spiegelman.  She brings the rain.
