And Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! =)


Really, I got the idea for this meme/tag from an LJ - it was originally based on the Disney Princesses. However, I thought it would adapt wonderfully to the main Dickens heroines. Here's how it works: each heroine has 8 facts about her life. You tick the boxes next to the ones that describe you, and total up each list to see which one you are most like. :) I never realized how different a lot of these ladies were until I did this. Anyway, here we go:
