Minerva McGonagall
She's been my favourite for 20+ years, and for different reasons throughout the years.
At first, I thought her animagus form, a cat, was so cool when I was a kid, having cats as my favourite animal.
Flash forward to adult life, weaving in and out of the Harry Potter universe, I recently read more into her life before Hogwarts.
Her life story, and sacrifices, mirror mine in a way that I never thought I'd relate to on such a level with a character before.
She's an incredible role model, and I am so glad she has been an admirable figure in my life, and will always continue to do so
