If there is one fictional character that I feel in tune with it is Holden Caulfeild. I love how he openly and brashly rejects the concept that financial success is equivalent with happiness. I will never understand why he is called a cynic he is so optimistic about the human condition. He can't always articulate why but he knows deep in his heart that people can be better then their materialistic dreams. I guess the people that call Holden a cynic are the nonfiction phonies. RIP J.D. Salinger.
