What is your Favorite Fairy Tale/Folktale Character? (hexbear.net)

Whether collected by The Brothers Grimm, written by Charles Perrault, Hans Christian Anderson or by other prolific writers or collected by others, which one is your favorite, and why? And it doesn't have to have been adapted by Disney.

I ask this because Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Anderson have been by Special Interest for a while now. My favorite is "The Snow Queen", because unlike most fairytales, it spins the damsel in distress scenario on its head, with the way the heroine saves her boy best friend from the titular snow queen, and along the way meets several different interesting characters. It could make for a great 9 episode miniseries on HBO or something.

So what is your favorite fairytale or fairytale character?

I wanna say Tom Bombadil. He's just a silly wife guy who's too busy touching grass and wearing his little booties to care about some ring.

It is almost a shame that he was adapted out of Peter Jackson Trilogy. Although maybe he would have brought in some pacing issues. Or maybe he still exists in that adaptation, just offscreen and not mentioned.
