Who is your fictional hero? Mine is Artemis Entreri from the Forgotten Realms series. I always admired his quest to push himself to be the pure fighter. I think it's his drive that makes me admire him.

Honor Harrington is a close second.

Alice Cooper

Can't possibly decide between Una Persson and Rasd-Coduresa Diziet Embless Sma da' Marenhide.

Not Catherine Cornelius then?

I'd go for Chris Guthrie from a Sunset Song unless I went for the Flounder from The Flounder (although he is more of an anti-hero) maybe Gwalmachai from Down the Long Wind, ach too many choices too many novels not enough time

Since Menolly, from Anne McCaffrey's Drongriders of Pern, is not really a "hero", I'll go with Paksennarion in Elizabeth Moon's Deed of Paksennarion trilogy

From a different medium, Spike Spiegal from the anime series Cowboy Bebop.

Let's be honest, she had terrible taste in men.

incist is Wincist (no, not really).

Not forgetting the fact half of Phil Oakey was modelled on our Jerry.

[Oh, and talking anti-heroes, can't beat the sheer hattage of http://www.berghuis.co.nz/abiator/pick/cugel/cugel2.jpg.]

I'm still going for The Flounder as the ultimate anti-hero. You can't beat a straight-talking flatfish.
