My fictional role model is the Orangutan who runs the Library at Unseen University in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. A wizard who was transformed by a stray bit of magic, he refuses to be changed back. I admire his strength, agility and good judgment — he can locate and wrestle the unruly books from shelves in any dimension, but knows when it’s a good day to sit under his desk and eat a banana.- quoted on flavorwire
