Farseer: Verity because I really admire his devotion and self-sacrifice on behalf of his kingdom. Also Kettriken in the Royal Assassin, because her character really develops and I admire her spirit.
Liveship: Paragon (obviously) because I rreally empathise with his child-like spirit, and his cynicism and bitterness only endears him to me because it shows what pain he's taken upon himself. Also Amber (even though I didn't realise at the time she was the Fool) because she was a bit of an enigma; so trusting and willing to believe the best of Paragon when no-one else would - yet also so hard of purpose and determined. I love the scene in "Ship of Destiny" when they reveal their secrets to each other.
Tawny Man: The Fool. He (or she? I can't decide but I don't care either way - the character is so beautiful in every respect) is possibly the most complex of any fantasy character anywhere, and I find myself marvelling every time he reveals another "facet" of himself. I also love his deveotion to Fitz, even though I personally can't stand the fellow (and I know a lot of people will disagree), and his bravery. Knowing he was Amber was also wonderful.
Who I dislike: Fitz. Swift. Kennit.
