[The Knight of ...]

I can't think of anyone in the series who loves their family more

[The Storm Queen]

She is not my favourite character but my third favourite female character :-)
My top 3 Cersei moments:
- The scene when she contrast her and Jaime´s education (and the way she was going to be used soley as brood mare) broke my heart and made me justify much of the shit she has pulled off.
- 90% mess, 10% magic - and the magic turns out to be the biggest mess . Another moment where I felt real sorry for her
- Her pride and strength when Ned tries to confront her. She owns this scene

This!! I love the 90% mess and 10% magic! I feel sympathy for her as it relates to her being a woman of intelligence and goals in a world where your husband and/or master sets your goals. I don't like her sexual relation with Jaime. I find it disgusting. However, I admire her for her consistency in trying to achieve power, albeit by proxy.

All I know is that if I wanted to be rule the 7 Kingdoms without a husband, I'd have to be the biggest bitch on the planet.

Dang, I need a "High Five" emoticon! This will have to do:

Cersei became my favourite character about five minutes after I started reading Cersei threads on this forum.

[ManyFacedOne]

I utterly loathe her, but I do love to read her chapters. Very entertaining to say the least.

[Agromono]

Sorry guys, but Cersei chapters are like watching a B-grade horror film for me. It's like WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT every second page.

[LordBloodraven]

I think Cersei having a point of view destroyed the mystique she had in the first 3 novels. I find myself feeling pity for her in AFFC and ADWD. I thought that she was a player, but at the end she's just a pawn, a wannabe Lord Tywin with teats. In TWOW, with Ungregor, there will be blood and I'm eager for that.

[Gurkhal]

Cersei became my favorite after her showdown with Eddard in AGoT and I find her matronizing (is this correct?) relation with Sansa when she tells Sansa what it really means to be a noble lady. I always wonder if it was the Greys or the fair folk who kidnapped Cersei in time for AFFC and replace her with the current, and very bad I might add, copy.

Absolutely.

I also loved her astute "There is such a dearth of sacking songs."

I looove hating Cersie. I love reading her chapters, and any POVs where she is featured or mentioned. She's not a top favourite of mine, but - unlike Dany who I could very happily live without - I would have found these books a lot less engaging if she weren't in them.

Right! And that's why the crazed-for-Cersei posters are so wrong, and it's so funny to read their posts (just like the posts of the crazed-for-other-characters).  They just don't get it.  Cersei is trying to be the biggest bitch on the planet, and to do that George has built up a bitchin' past.

Every time I read that scene where Mace Tyrell tries to give her condolences and says there was no one like Tywin, and she thinks to herself, I'm a female Tywin you moron (don't have my book here, words to that effect) I crack up.  Soooo Lannister arrogant!

when she was humiliated by Robert at winterfell (when he went to see Lyanna grave).I felt for her.

[Dracarya]

Okay. So I've finally gotten around to Cersei's POV chapters on my reread. First of all, I have to say that I like her because she's witty. The way her POV reads is brilliant - a scene springs to mind between her and Jaime, when she refused him a dance because she didn't want him 'fumbling at her with that stump'. She asks him to refill his cup, but he says a cripple like him couldn't manage it, so she had to fill her own cup. That kind of satire just really gets to me - I might be weird I like getting inside her mind, and the best thing is that we know what Jaime knows and thinks about her, but she doesn't, so when she asks Kettleblack to stay behind with her while the Tower of the Hand burns, we know that Jaime is thinking "Tyrion was telling the truth!" but Cersei doesn't know. I just find that amusing.

Anywho, she's a fascinating character, mainly because she is an unreliable narrator. I felt some sympathy for her life, and her consequential actions, and when she mentioned that no man had ever made her feel so good as Joffrey did when she nursed him. Little bit creepy wording, imo, but it could show that she genuinely does love her children, or Joffrey at least. She's a hard character to like, I have to say, especially with the way she treats Tommen and others as if they are disposable and without feelings, but she fascinates me, and her chapters can be damn funny.

Especially if you take into account the delicious irony that house Lannister´s inofficial motto song (Reins of Castamere) is indeed a sacking song :-)

Joffrey, Jaime had just arrived back, Tywin was still alive.

[Ororo727 Jon Snow Fangirl]

I do not like her character, but I love reading her chapters. Cersei is truly A character that I love to hate.

There really should be a face-slap emoticon.  Duuuuh!  Thank you for pointing that out!  Irony in ASOIAf!
