Forgot I was going to post the answers...so here ya go with some (more) character descriptions as reasons why I chose each (obviously I recommend reading all these books, but sorry got a bit spoiler-y here- you’ve been warned):

AEJA: Anne Elliot by Jane Austen (Persuasion) (Harry) - hopeless romantic, patient yet internally rolling eyes at the drama while being melodramatic sometimes herself, mind is a bit of an angst fest but for good reason, unwilling to settle for just anyone, got separated from the love of her life at a young age thanks to listening to someone older’s bad advice but can’t totally regret it, has to watch the love of her life with someone else but it’s not real love, humble, thankful for everything she has, selfless, willing to throw everything away for love, gets her man in the end and she always really had him

OTDK: Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz (Odd Thomas series) (Louis) - hopeless romantic, pretty much literally goes through hell so he can end up with his soulmate, didn’t choose to be a leader but born for it, sarcasm and humor as survival techniques, humble, thankful for everything he has, selfless, just wants to keep his head down but can’t, chased by demons that most can’t see, helped by secret army that comes out the woodwork, devious when he needs to be, semi-secretly extremely talented, uses power for greater good, evil hunting him for inexplicable reasons, survivor

JVVH: Jean Valjean by Victor Hugo (Les Miserables) (Liam) - really complicated history, maybe used to be an ass but got over it pretty quickly thanks to others, unfairly judged for past mistakes and things he didn’t even do, surprisingly vast network/variety of friends, isn’t quite what he seems, secretly heroic, seems intimidating as hell but is really sweet underneath, uses power for greater good, devious when he needs to be, survivor

RBLMM: Rilla Blythe by L. M. Montgomery (Rilla of Ingleside) (Niall) - everyone thinks she’s frivolous and kinda untouched by life, life of the party, just wants to dance and have fun, ends up having life thrown at her anyways and is stronger than anyone realizes, more responsible and knowledgeable than you’d think, loyal, resourceful, makes friends with anyone and everyone, matchmaker, lover of love and hater of evil and does her best to make things better, gets overwhelmed easily but bounces back quickly too

PPYM: Pi Patel by Yann Martel (Life of Pi) (Zayn) - gets thrown out to sea and separated from his family, surrounded by very questionable characters, really hard to tell which narrative is the truth but either way it’s sad, attached to someone who could easily end him out of necessity, perseveres out of stubbornness and faith, many assume he’s lying and/or mentally ill, bit pessimistic but for good reason, resourceful, survivor

ACSC: Alma Coin by Suzanne Collins (Mockingjay) (Syco/TPTB/Simon Cowell) - powerful, lies as easily as breathing, really good at deceiving the public, manipulates good young people to gain more power, innocent public face, exposed to the ones she manipulates, exposed as evil in the end, probably gets off easy in the end, pure evil
