Which RotE character is your favourite? (spoilers all RotE books)

[maulkin]

I am quite fond of Starling. She befriended Fitz and kept him grounded during the terrible events of Assassin's quest and, despite her ulterior motives, did display genuine compassion and affection. Although she is vain, duplicitous and self-centred, she is no more so than various other characters (Malta for example) and with far more justification. In my opinion, Fitz's treatment of Starling is quite appalling. He repeatedly disowns and abandons her and apparently takes no personal responsibility for their relationship.
