Re: Favorite characters

Moiraine is my favourite because she's serious, purposeful and although I can't utterly agree with her motto "Duty above all", I truly admire her... well, as far as you can admire a fictional character
Speaking of characters, I just need to mention that Rand is awful...

Re: Favorite characters

I find the Forsaken/The Chosen as more dynamic and enjoy reading about them quite a bit. However, Thom and Matt have always been my fav's from the Heroic camp.

Re: Favorite characters

Another vote for Matt. His irreverent nature always brings a smile to my face although personally, it's his occassional glimpses into the 'lost' empires and histories which are the main reason I like his chapters.

Re: Favorite characters

Yet another vote for Mat, but I like Perrin, too, especially in the earlier books (although I'm not so fond of the extended rescuing Faile storyline)

Re: Favorite characters

yeah gonna have to cast my vote for Matt, he's probably the most fun character to read, and I think I like him best as a result.

Re: Favorite characters

I really dislike Mat! *ducks before rotten tomatos are thrown*

My favourites would have to be Elaida, Faile and Egwene! And Moiraine and Siaun! There are so many characters in these books, but those are my favourite of all!

And yes Rand is aweful!

Re: Favorite characters

Now, really. All Rand needs is a good spanking to straighten him out.

Re: Favorite characters

Thom and Matt. Similar to Talysia I'd add Perrin in for the earlier books (he's return to the two rivers is still one of my favourite storylines) but the love triangle and rescuing of Faile have dragged on.

I don't mind Rand but one thing I really liked about him initially was that he wasn't this whinny little kid like alot of main characters start out in fantasy but if anything he seems to be more whinny now then when he left Two Rivers, although to be fair he does have a lot on his plate at the moment .

***spoiler***


Mat for sure. He has unbelivable luck, he blew the horn of heors or whatever its called, he has a very cool anti-magic charm and a sweet spear-like thing. On top of that the dice in his head is just cool, plus he married that princess through an odd technicality. Whats not to love?

Re: Favorite characters

My favorite is Edgwene. She used to be a little too eager to please at first but (spoiler warning) after she became, and even a little before, Amrylin she sort of came into her own. I also really like Lan. And Mat too, of course. I think he's the most likeable charector. I used to really like Perrin too (golden eyes are just plain cool) but after he married Faile he became got kind of boring.
Speaking of boring, I really hate Rand. I think he needs to get slapped. On a daily basis.

Re: Favorite characters

Thom, I like Lan in terms of what he is but as a character to read about he's generally not the best. Julian's another I like. Elyas and Loial (sp) are two of my other favourites. though I'm not a big fan of any of the 'leads'.

Re: Favorite characters

I am Moridin.

My other favourites are Mat, and Nynaeve (yes, really).

I got quite emotional when Moiraine fell through the ter'angreal, though. Or rather, when reading her letter to Rand.
