Which Catcher in the Rye Character Matches You?

Some people see through everything around them, cynical and restless, quietly desperate to protect whatever innocence is still left in the world. Some are sharper and more honest than people twice their age, calling things exactly as they see them without flinching. Some care deeply and think carefully, offering guidance even when their own timing feels complicated. And some hold their inner world close, gentle and guarded, keeping their most important pieces safely tucked away.
