Quintessential.
It's a word, that, screams "this is it!! This is the true thing." So, I wondered, what am I "quintessentially"? I know many negatives that I could be. But I don't want to go there...
There are some literary characters that I could quintessentially be like- at least in my imagination. Characters I love, such as Jo, in Little Women. Or Elizabeth Bennet, in Pride and Prejudice.
Sometimes I worry that I spend too much time with my head in the clouds; and I fear turning into Don Quixote, the quintessential dreamer...
Have you ever wondered who you were, quintessentially?

The characters you mentioned are 2 of my favourites.
Ah, good question! I need to give this some thought. I think the word (like many others) gets tossed around without some people knowing what it really means.
Love these two characters! :)
Hi Rachna! I LOVE Elizabeth Bennet and Jo March!! I'm so glad you do also. :)
Karen, it's such an interesting word... It's almost like the "thing" and the "virtue" defining itself...
Bless you!
I agree with Karen. Folks really don't know what the word means. Jo and Elizabeth are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
