If you’re like most of America you’ve binge watched Parks and Recreation on Netflix and absolutely fell in love with Pawnee Indiana and some of its residents that happen to work in city hall.  Yes the first season was dry and the jokes were sub par but you watch past that and you begin developing a connection with the characters and begin to feel like they could be your real life, dorky, friends.  But of course each character has a unique and distinct personality and everyone has his or her favorite.  Here’s an analysis of what your favorite Parks and Rec character says about you. 

 

Andy Dwyer

You have a great sense of humor and you’re the silly one of your friends.  You’re always making jokes or pulling faces but underneath it all you’re kind of a sweetheart.  You also have the habit of going for the edgy or artsy type but you’re so cute and endearing that they almost always fall for you. 

 

Leslie Knope

You’re an optimist.  You love a happy ending.  You also love a strong female lead.  This is why Leslie’s you’re favorite character.  She’s the cutest bad a** lady to grace our television screens in a while.  You’re kind of bad a** cutie yourself.  You’re very independent but you have a solid group of friends that you’ll cherish to the end.  You also have a thing for sweets and your idea of a perfect Friday night is often cuddling up with your best friends or a cutie, watching maybe Dirty Dancing or New Girl and eating some ice cream. 

 

April Ludgate

You’re kind of sarcastic and have been told before that you have a slight case of RBF.  You can come across as “scary” if people don’t know you well but underneath you’re just a big dork.  You have an odd sense of humor and not everyone will get it but you love to laugh and love to joke around.  It takes a while for you to open up but you love to hang out and have a good time with the people you love.  You also probably like movies like Edward Scissorhands or Donnie Darko. 

 

Ron Swanson

You are no nonsense, straightforward, kind blunt, and also very loyal and loving.  Chances are you’re not one for lots of make up or expensive name brands and you always feel as if most things people buy in the store you could make better yourself.  You love DIYs and love to get your hands dirty.  Chances are you’re also pretty outdoorsy and your Instagram aesthetic is all rock climbing and mountain ranges. 

Tom Haverford

You have high aspirations and you have always pictured yourself going places and doing big things.  You surround yourself by beautiful things and love eating good food and shopping.  You may seem like you have your head in the clouds sometimes but the amazing friends you have keep you grounded. 

Ann Perkins

You’re sweet but strong-willed.  You’re caring and hardworking.  But overall you’re always a good friend.  You love new friends and you cherish the old.  You’re always there in case of a break up or promotion.  You can be kind of the mom of the group always keeping your friends from doing anything dumb or irresponsible.  Sometimes you can get a little caught up in a relationship or carried away with a boy but your friends know that you’re a gem and will always be there for you no matter what.
