My favorite character is Christy form The Christy Miller Series. She moved from a small town in Wisconsin to live in California with her aunt and uncle for the summer. This big transition has its perks but also many problems. Even with her strong faith, she faces many trials. She gets pressured into change, but soon comes to realize, she shouldn't have to change for anybody. She sticks up for what she believes in and gets put in situations where she has to make hard decisions. At the beginning of the story, her parents make her promise that she won't do something she will regret. This promise is what helps her make her hard decisions. I respect her for honoring her parents by keeping her promise. Another thing is throughout the first part of the book she is a shy and not very confident girl, but towards the end she realizes she just has to be herself. She comes out of her shell, makes new friends, and gains confidence. She also realizes how much more she can enjoy life when you are confident, have good friends, and make wise decisions. She has the best summer of her life with her new self. This is why I respect and chose Christy for my favorite character.
