Identifying With Characters

Let's get started with some Homecoming discussion! Which character do you most identify with? Why?

I'd say that I identify most with Maybeth. Even though I can see parts of each character in myself, most of my traits coincide with Maybeth's. When I'm with my family, I'm usually pretty quiet (surprisingly). Sometimes, I surprise my siblings when I actually speak up for myself! I don't really take the lead, but I am usually happy to follow along with whatever is going on.
