I think I can identify with any character who has traits I'd like to
have, or does things I'd like to do, even if only in fantasy. In that
way, it doesn't matter their culture, race, gender, species even.
But it's also nice to see yourself mirrored. I guess that's part of the
popularity of 'everyman' types of characters such as the ones you see a
lot in folk tales. They're depicted as average, everyday people who
triumph, as opposed to any number of kings, knights or fair ladies.
