"Describe a character in fiction..."

I was thinking about writing my CommonApp personal statement on Robert Langdon, who is the main character in nearly all of Dan Brown’s novels (The DaVinci Code, Angels and Demons, The Lost Symbol, etc.).

Is Langdon too much of an overused figure? I mean - he’s no Harry Potter or Holden Caulfield, but are the Dan Brown books too popular for my essay to stand out?

I’d appreciate any input :)
