If I was allowed to invite fictional characters, I wouldn't care whether they got along or not. I'd just invite who I most wanted to see. But, in light of your prompt:
To romanticize: -Marianne Dashwood -Anne of Green Gables -Maria (from The Sound of Music) -Sara Crew (from A Little Princess, older, so I can see how she grew up and who she ended up with) -Tatyana (from Eugene Onegin)
To be sparkly, witty, misguided, and human: -Elizabeth Bennet -Buffy Summers -Isobel Archer (from Portrait of a Lady) -Lorelai Gilmore (from the show "Gilmore Girls") -Prospero (only because I don't believe Shakespeare is fictional)
To brood, say nothing, not look at each other, and say how much they hate themselves when I've plied them with too much booze: -Angel -Jean Valjean -Erik (from The Phantom of the Opera, after he last sees Christine. Not the book version or the musical version or any version but the one in my head.) -Severus Snape -Mr. Rochester
Interesting how I don't seem to like the mixing of gender idea we recently acquired in these past 100 years or so.
