who is the person you most identify with from your childhood? or is it a person?

i identified or maybe looked up to punky brewster as a kid. i really loved her colorful, no nonsense style and her whimsical attitude. i also totally wanted her room, she was able to paint a big landscape all over her walls (something i wasn't allowed to do). i think i still try to have a little punky power in my life. maybe it's just a funky piece of clothing, or a something quirky. she was definitely a character who could brighten up anyone's day and she had a knack for COLORs!
