From Sesame Street to Fraggle Rock (I still have a plastic Fraggle on my desk) to the Dark Crystal, the genius lives on.<\/p>\n<p>But I can tell you about my favorite, which I would design myself after.

She&#8217;s sweet and kind, a little na\u00efve, and extremely talented. What&#8217;s not to love? There are parts of her that remind me of what I&#8217;d like to be but I could never match her amazing talent. I even named a character after her in one of my never-to-be-published books.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the character I&#8217;d like to be modeled after? Animal. His overwhelming energy and enthusiasm is role-model material. How he tackles problems head-on. (Although sometimes he doesn&#8217;t get all the facts first) And he never has a bad hair day. .He understands what is important in his life and strives to honor it.\u00a0 All of this while never saying a word.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d have to change that part to be me, of course.
