David Copperfield

David Copperfield is the protagonist of David Copperfield's book of the same name and all film adaptions. He is the posthumous son of both his father of the same name (in whose memory he was named so) and Clara Copperfield. He was born on a Christmas. Because he had turned out to be male, his mother's Aunt Betsy Trotwood had walked away from them.

Seven years later, his mother marries the (first) villain, Edward Murdstone, much to David's dismay.
