Favourite Amberite?

[BloodAndSouls]

Pardon my eagerness, but I have long searched for a fantasy forum with fellow Amber fans, and now that I have found one I'm going to turn into a rabid fangirl.

So who is your favourite prince/princess of Amber, and why?

Julian is probably my favourite fantasy character of all-time, even though there is so little about him. I was quite young when I read the series, and Julian was the first blatantly bastardly character--who wasn't a villain--that I had come across in a fantasy book, and I instantly fell in love with his unabashed vanity and pettiness. That bit when he leaves the room in Sign of the Unicorn and says "Now you can all talk about me" gets me every time.

Hi, BloodAndSouls, and welcome to the Zelazny sub-forum!

My favourite Amberite is Corwin because he starts as an arrogant bestard and ends up as a chivalrous bestard.

Along with Jack of Shadows, Corwin is one of those characters whose personal growth RZ was a past master at depicting.

Corwin, of course! But if I had to choose someone else, I guess it would be Random. Both end up doing Oberon proud in their own way and both are ultimately good guys despite their powers over shadowstuff.

Although it's Corwin again (who else?!), I always had a bit of fascination for Benedict; not sure exactly why....

The concept of a person being above suspicion because they're so powerful that they don't have to be underhanded is pretty cool, which is why I like Benedict more than any of Corwin's siblings.
