Greeny Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Hello, I have a somewhat unusual request. I'm looking for books where the character (either a main or a secondary one) refers to him/herself in the third person. Please note that I do not mean the author or the narrator referring to himself in the third person as a literary device; I mean fictional characters who have such a habit in everyday life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardengirl Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 well, a somewhat unusual request. The only one I can think of quickly, is the character Barkis, in Charles Dickens book hmmmn which one? It could be Great Expectations? He says 'Barkis is willing' [ to marry] and other things prefaced with his name.However, it could also be in David Copperfield, I can't remember.

Greeny Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Thank you One thing more, I'd prefer female characters (there is a pretty long list in Wikipedia, but it includes mostly males). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreader Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Hmm, I recall Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series and her YA series. There's a character called Simi (nick name supposedly meaning baby) who refers to herself as The Simi. She'd say "The Simi want/likes ...." She is hilarious with a voracious appetite, there isn't a thing she won't eat especially if she adds ketchup/barbeque sauce and yes she'd eat a car too tires and all.
