This is Helga! She's a character on a cartoon called "Hey Arnold". She is a character who I can relate too. She reminds me of myself when I was about 11-13 years old.
She's a tomboy. She has a secret crush on a boy, but she's too tough to admit it. She has a seemingly perfect older sister whom she can't stand...
That was me when I was 11. Of course I've gotten past that stuff now, but whenever I see the show, especially the ones where her older sister are in it. It reminds me of myself.
Her older sister gets great grades, she's popular, everyone loves her. Helga walks around with a scowl on her face and usually a bandage on her knee.
I love my sister dearly now and I have told her about this character. It's something we joke about.
Now my question...
Do you have a cartoon character, or any fictitious characther that reminds you of yourself? If so, who?
Please share the who and why...
Thanks.

I like the new avatar and I loved "hey arnold " :)
I am not sure if there is any character that I can identify completely but then again I never really thought about it. I think there was a cartoonist called Quino that was known mostly for his character mafalda - an inquisitive kid - which is I think the character that I can think of closer to what I was at that time.

I don't see the Helga avatar, I guess you must have changed it. I can't think of any characters at the moment that I see myself in.

I knew that kid looked familiar. At first I thought it was a really ugly picture Angelica from the Rugrats. With a name and face like Helga, I would be surprised if a dog wanted to play with her, ha, ha, lol, just kidding.
I can not think of a cartoon charactor whom I indentify with. Maybe, I would have to say Goofy. I am a little nerdy and accident prone. I am also nice to people who are constantly mean to me.

I know this cartoon and it is very frank of you to compare yourself with her - I will have to think of some character that describes my personality.

I LOVED Hey Arnold!
It was definitely one of my favourite shows when I was younger...
Hmmm.. I think I always used to see myself as Kiara, the daughter in the Lion King II: Simba's Pride.
I've always been 'daddy's little girl' and tried to convince people to see the best in others.
