Not necessarily in RP. Bonus points if you explain why you like that character so much.

I'm going to be lame and say Sansa/Alayne. I always find that her POV chapters are the most interesting to me (with Cersei being a close second) and I really like arcs where the wimpy/naive/weak character in the beginning learns to be awesome and badass. Because in the end I'm pretty sure Sansa is going to go apeshit on everyone, steal a dragon, and rule Westeros. Ahem.

I also like Arianne Martell. She's pretty cool.

I've always loved Tyrion Lannister. These days I have much more awareness of what was wrong with his story, but when I was a young teen, it was deeply comforting to read about someone who may have been disfigured and shunned and have a chip on his shoulder, but was able to win through with his wits and intelligence alone.

I love his fierce, angry refusal to lay down and die in a world where babies like him are often left out to die from exposure. I love his belief that knowing as much as you can, learning from everything, especially history, can save you. I love the way he gives his whole heart over into loving someone despite his bitterness and the fact that he's still carrying around trauma from being, essentially, forced to participate in rape as a child. I love his clever comebacks and his sense of morality.

I know Tyrion isn't to everyone's taste — and his dominating the narrative and the discussion pisses off fans of other characters — but I love him to bits. I wish I had the balls to play him somewhere.

I like Davos because he is basically the only person in all of that world who isn't a total douchebag. It's kind of sad he's so loyal to Stannis, because there's no way that guy is going to win, but I guess that loyalty is part of why I like him so much. He's a normal guy. He doesn't do that game of thrones shit. Probably why I liked Ned so much, too, but, uh, we all see where that got him.

Beat me to it.

I also love that Davos is kind of rare among the POVs for being born and raised common. It's refreshingly different to get that perspective amongst all the nobility.

Danaerys is definitely my favorite character. I haven't read the books, so I'm going strictly by what I've seen in the series. She's a character that was clearly brought up to be subservient to her brother, the rightful king of iron throne. She gets used as chattel to barter for an army with a terrifying force, but she manages to turn that to her advantage. She falls in love with the man who she was given to, and it's a reciprocated feeling.

These people that she's now become a part of accept her, teach her their language make her their queen, and she starts to believe she is. Even enough to stand up to her brother. When Drogo is taken from her, she doesn't just fall down and give up and let some man take care of her. She takes her clan and tries to do her best for them.

To go from being told her brother would let her be raped by a thousand men and their horses to being the mother of dragons and deciding that the crown is hers is a huge leap. She goes from being someone who needs protecting to being the one who does the protecting. It makes me respect her as a character that she didn't just take the easy route and give up.

cersei lannister, hands down. she's by far the most complex and interesting character in the entire series, imo, so it's a shame to constantly see her being riddled down to slurs like "bitch" or "cunt" like that's all she is/like that's the entirety of her character when she's absolutely more than that. :(

Barristan Selmy.

Because he's just...interesting. The chapters where we see him re-examining his decisions, admitting he was wrong, and going off to do the right thing in his eyes made me very, very happy.

Eddard Stark is a close second. Because I like seeing people with that fatalistic sense of duty.

Sandor Clegane, or The Hound. I love how we get these little glimpses of the kind of man he could have been, if he'd been raised in a different environment, and how he actually puts himself out there and does nice things that he doesn't have to do (in the most awful way possible, usually, but he still does them). I found him to be a really complex, engaging character.

Jon, because I can really relate to his feelings of being ostracized and discouraged all through life. Seeing him overcome and persevere gives me hope.
