In the book "The Fault In Our Stars" my favorite character is the protagonist, Hazel Grace. Hazel Grace is not a typical cancer kid that slefpites herself. She has no illusion on what´s gonna happened next, she is going to die. What´s so special about Hazel is that she dose not refer her condition with self-pity, but with humor.

I didn't tell him that the diagnosis came three months after I got my first period. Like: Congratulations! You're a woman. Now die. (2.13)

Hazel does not care about whats cool or not, but she knows what she likes. This is what I like about Hazel. She is true to herself. I also love that she can use humor, even though she is diagnosed with cancer, and may never celebrate her next birthday.
