Miles Vorkosigan / Lois McMaster Bujold

I think Miles Vorkosigan from Lois McMaster Bujold deserves an honorable mention. I found that many books that I enjoyed when I was completely able-bodied are no longer fun now that I am (mildly) disabled, precisely because they come up with all sorts of assumptions. "Disability superpower" is the one that makes me really mad these days, perhaps because I didn't get any ;-) But I found that Miles still appeals. He does have a "super charisma" to compensate for his limitations, but for me he comes with enough internal struggle, mistakes and fragility that makes him realistic, at least in my personal experience.
