mine is perrin. i love how he is able to speek (and sort of become) with wolves. most people dont know it but a wolf on a coat of arms means that while you may take a beatting you will win in the end. thats something i see in perrin. someone who can take a beatting and yet still come out on top.

My favorite character is Min Fairshaw. All around him there are those who manipulate both events and the people around him for their own purposes while she is the only one FOR Rand for his sake. She keeps him grounded. She helps him hold on to the man he was before all this hell began. I love the way she needles him by calling him "farmboy" and "sheepherder" as it reminds him that beneath it all he is just a man. Her devotion and love are what I admire most and her reward is to have the man she loves tell her..."Min, I NEED you". If a man said that to me in that way....I'd move heaven and hell for him.

My favourite would definately be Nynaeve, especially how she has developed from stomping around Emonds Field to the gal who does what needs to be done for the greater good. She would be the female equivalent to Rand in terms of commitment to the cause

I'm a big fan of Rodel Ituralde. He brought the fight to the enemy Seanchan with no outside help & no help from Aes Sedai. One of the great captains & proves it in every scene he's in.

It's easy to pick Matrim. He does'nt want greatness but is not afraid to run from it when it's upon him or complain about it,only a simple fun game of dice,a nice mug of ale ( of course maybe a good wine if that's what the crowd has going )a nice place to kick the heels up near a warm fire and now a nice snuggle with his wife,Tuon. He was always the one, and still is, who still knows how to kick back and let the dice fall as it may. Things a little to tense,"here I got this badger in this sack. What say we just let this little, mean and now ill-tempered fella go in that crowded square and have a laugh !!"

"Remember how we......"

Mmmm... I'm not so sure who my favorite character is. I've given it a lot of thought over the years, but none pop to mind specifically because of the huge diversity that the books have to offer and..... pfft

Oh well, I guess I couldn't keep a straight face after all

My favorite character is Nynaeve, closely followed by Lan and Mat ^_^

Furyk Karede is a cool character. Olver..... er.... I mean Gaidal Cain is fun too. Though overall I would have to say Mat is my favorite.

Loial. i love that he's always reading and wants to write down everything he can about the latest ta'veren the Pattern has spit out. his calm, quiet disposition is a nice change to the franetics of the other characters.

Morgase is another favourite, as are Siuan, Leane, Sheriam and Amys. Perrin ranks right up there too. now if only i could talk to wolves and use the One Power, i'd be ecstatic.

ps: i already have book one in audio format, so leaving my comment just because i can, not to win anything (this time around).

I really really like Mat.

My favorite character has and is Perrin. He's so pensive and extremely humble. He's so funny to read.

My favorite is Siuan Sanche she is great. I love it when she says (Silver Pike or Fish guts.) love these books.!!!!!!

My Favorite Character: Mat Cauthoun when he told the story about the ghost hounds...

My favorite character is probably Gareth Bryne.

dwynwen,can you do a poll?write a list of 20 major characters for us to vote?

Sadly, the site isn't set up in a way that lets us post polls on the front page. If you want, you can start a thread with such a poll in our General Wheel of Time Discussion forum.

I would have to say that Mat is my favorite character. I love how he acts like he wants nothing to do with any responsibility but ends up with more each time we see him.

It will always be Rand and Egwene for me. But more Egwene > Rand. Love egwene, Her journey has been very fascinating. <333

Close call for me, but Mat took the prize.

So many to choose from. If i had to pick just one it would have to be Mat.

Matrim Cauthon is and alway will be my favorite character. Ever since my older brother started reading the series when I was in middle school and told me I reminded him of that character, I've known he would be, and then when I started reading the series, as Mat grew, I felt like I was growing with him. But we still both hate all the bloody responsibility the world keeps shoving at us.

Nynaeve

My favourite character for most of the book has been Perrin Aybara aka Perrin Goldeneyes. I was fascinated by his ability to communicate with wolves and his reluctance for most of the early books to accept it and truely run with the wolves. My interest in Perrin grew much more in the latest book, The Gathering Storm when he finally used his blacksmith skills to forge a power wrought weapon, which has been so brilliantly visualised in the new eBook covers.

Mat Cauthon for me as well. His irreverence for all things never fails to make me laugh, and his sweet, sweet foxhead medallion makes sure no bloody Aes Sedai is going to try and "put him in his place"...most of the time.

Although, all of the characters have their strong and weak points this story is mainly about Rand. I have to go with the main man...Rand al'Thor.

Nynaeve. I think Robert Jordan somehow knew me before he wrote the books, because the similarities between us are uncanny.

I am a die hard Rand fan. I know he's certainly the easiest character to pick, but I also think he's the hardest. He changes so much and he's adrift so much of the series. I always see him as someone who tries so hard to make the best of a bad situation. He's given this incredibly complicated life with very little hope of a good outcome.
