3 GIFs of fictional characters you most associate with your OC.

General Iroh from Avatar: The Last Airbender Colpeia’s personality was mostly inspired by this character. They’re wise mentor archetypes, but neither are immune to mistakes or flaws. Self-forgiveness is something they’ve both struggled with, for one. Not afraid to be soulful, they epitomize warm friendship, altruism, and a deep simplicity, all while being playfully flirtatious. They also don’t shy away from indulgence or laughter - to the point of vanity. Although they prefer charm or diplomacy over conflict, they are cunningly deceptive and fierce combatants when forced. And they’re as resilient as they are determined. Yet integrity and honor are values they adhere to, regardless of their trickery.

Guinan from Star Trek: The Next Generation Guinan is a LOT like Colpeia, though it’s for many of the same reasons I compare her to Iroh. Their serene, cheerful mannerisms are almost identical. They both try to invoke challenging questions, are highly approachable listeners, have a long history of travel, and are from cultures some consider mysterious. More importantly, they're strong-willed survivors. They endured traumatic dangers that should have ended them. These two are the last to be considered threats because they come off as benign and insignificant, but are surprisingly capable. 

John Forbes Nash Jr. from A Beautiful Mind John Nash and Colpeia are both brilliant, logic-bound mathematicians who strive to reach a higher understanding of the world around them, both for the sake of knowledge and the noble goal of helping people. However, they’re also neurotic, fearful, and skittish for their own reasons. These are characters who are often ruled by paranoia. Despite being logical enough to keep some footing on reality, it’s always tempting for them to react to the fears they perceive, which are often not there.

A BONUS: The Muppets Like, all of them. Mostly Kermit. Their sense of humor, their innocent desire for friendship, and their demeanor altogether are a big inspiration for her, too.
