Petyr's Little Finger Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 All of my favorite characters are in the books. Still a lot of the WOIAF characters are interesting too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword of the Morgan Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Jaime is my favorite character, and I really like Arya a lot as well. Two characters we don't meet in the books that I really like, though, are Arthur Dayne and Rhaegar Targaryen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalerionTheCat Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Most of my favorites are in the books. We know so little about the others. But I would add Rhaegar and Lyanna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJE Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 All of my faves are in the books as well, but I would really like to get some stories about some past historical characters, Rhaegar, Arthur Dayne to name a few. If we ever get a conclusion to ASOIAF I would like to read about Roberts Rebellion, but that is just wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Stark-Targaryen Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Like everyone else, I don't see how people can have true favorites who aren't in ASOIAF. My favorites are in my sig: Dany, Arya, and Sansa (in that order). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Guy Garlan Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I'm still baffled by this question. It's like, "Yeah, my favorite character is a Wikipedia entry."But, well, to each their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbySmythe Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 My favourite is Tyrion by far but there are some historical characters that are talked about that grab my interest. Criston Cole for example, Bittersteel and Bloodraven as well (although Bloodraven is in ASOIAF). I wouldn't go so far as to call them my favourites though.

JonCon's Red Beard Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Where does that blurb come from, comic cons and SSMs? GRRM often changes his mind. ASOAIF wiki is not a terribly reliable source on historical characters and badly needs to be updated. I think it's from the GRRMarillion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsOfBrains Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I don't think I'll never understand this, to be honest. Most of the historical characters have like a paragraph devoted to them and people still prefer them over Arya, Jaime, Theon, Sansa, etc? Yeah really. I can understand really liking minor characters like Dolorous Edd or Podrick Payne because at least we get to see them in action, but some random historical character with a few tiny blurbs in some tertiary text probably not even written by GRRM? Come on man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Well, now with the World Book we have more than one paragraph for many historical figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Gendry Baratheon Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Aye! 1.Eddard Stark 2, Davos Seaworth 3. Ser Arthur Dayne Favourite bad guy: Roose Bolton, Smiling Knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndance Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 My claim about Visenya being my favorite character is really based off of a surface level view of everyone. Clearly there isn't enough material about her to put her in the same group as the main characters. Just look at her description though:She's a Targaryen and wife of Aegon the Conquerer. She's a sorceress and a battle hardened warrior. She wielded the infamous valaryian steel sword 'Dark Sister' and rode the 2nd most famous dragon Westeros has ever known. Tell me that is not one of the most bad ass characters in the asoiaf world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alester Florent Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I do love Daemon Targaryen. But as people have said, any choice of favourite character that isn't from the book is a bit of a stretch, and I wouldn't put him above some of those from ASoIaF.

We see more of him than most other non-Dunk and Egg pre-ASoIaF characters, yeah, thanks to the Princess and the Queen and the World Book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crionic Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Not trying to be a dick, but my favourite characters in the books are the ones that are most human and most compelling. Some of them Being: Theon, Jaime and Stannis. The three of them are just so human, they cannot be labeled just one thing like many other great characters in the books, and we can talk essays and essays of their personalities/motivations/overall personalities of each one of them. I think big-ol' George topped the icing in the cake of his masterpiece with this characters, three characters, as well as many others that feel very human and plausible (Brienne, Tyrion, Victarion, Doran). But i personally think that in 50 years as of now literature students will be making full articles and proyects about these three characters, because there are so many things to talk about them.
