You know this answer.........Princess Buttercup. :)
(Or a person in real life.......Shirley Temple. Seriously......I loved her as a child actress, but loved what she grew to be. Quite an admirable lady. )

This is a brilliant question that I am struggling to answer because it's like a candy store and I want to pick right. Part of me wants to pick a man because it is HIS story.
That being said I think I'd want to be Chaucer. He was gifted and funny and his stories stand the test of time. I also think he understood in the "Pilgrimage" that is our life, it's not so much what is at the end of the road but the journey and the characters we meet along the way.
Plus, it's been 20 years (oh my God I am middle aged) since I studied him and I can still recite the prologue in Old English. So he sticks.
That being said, could I be Chaucer with plumbing and modern medicine? Perhaps a pedicure every six weeks?

Someone born in 1890 and still alive right now, to be able to witness the huge leaps in technology and changes in civilizations over the last 100+ years. Never before has that much change happened so quickly, and that amount will likely never happen again in the history of the future.

Hmm...coool question.
In recent history, I might well take a shot at being WC Fields, just because...well, given the chance, who wouldn't be?
In older historical terms, I'd like to think I could have made a good King Offa (he of the dyke). If you know the story of Macbeth, you almost know the story of Offa - they were very similar - kinda hacking and plotting their way to the top, but once he got there, Offa was quite an impressive king for his age - he grew his domain to become "Bretwalda" - King of Kings - in his area of England, was deeply in love with his queen, and was fairly unique in minting his own royal coinage. To be a bright spark in a dark age? Sounds good to me.

Robert The Bruce. Halfing that English knights head at Bannockburn would have been orgasmic. Mind you I would have to had a whip round for a new battle axe
