Huck Finn is the main character in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. People think Huck is based on (基于) a childhood friend of Mark Twain’s. In fact, Twain was not alone in basing a fictional character (虚构的角色) on a real-life person. Here are some examples.
Severus Snape/ John Nettleship Severus Snape is a wizard (巫师) teaching magic in Harry Potter. The writer, J. K. Rowling, once said that the character was based on a teacher of hers.

However, he said that he was so ill-tempered that most of his students avoided making him angry. Also, he wore long hair and his lab (实验室) was in a mess. That sounds kind of Harry Potter fans.
Alice Liddell/ Carroll Famously, Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is based on Alice Liddell. Carroll was close to the Liddell family. One day, ten-year-old Alice asked Carroll to tell her a new story. Carroll began to write his famous story of Alice and what happened after she fell through the rabbit hole. The little girl liked the story so much that she asked him to write it down. And the rest is history.
