Favorite: Ilia Amitola. It's hard to describe - I don't necessarily like her character because it's pretty shallow/black and white as her character hasn't expanded outside of her villainous past/turmoil yet, but I love her story because she is one of the only (former) villains who has actually stated clear motive and justification behind her actions rather than just "power" or "well I can't beat 'em so I'll join 'em". She's also one of the only former White Fang (might be the only, not counting Blake) who is actually for the cause - notably, she's the only White Fang member who has never smirked or given any indication that she was enjoying what she was doing while committing crimes. Her dynamic and the internal struggle that is constantly apparent throughout her arc makes her my favorite character.

Least Favorite: Raven Branwen. From "I know more about you than you do" to "so, you've finally decided to visit me", everything she's said and done makes me sneer. Someone compared her to Jacques by saying that she at least is aware of her faults, but in my opinion, that makes her worse. She is the level of arrogant, cunning, and in denial that I can't tolerate. Her lack of or disregard for morality disgusts me on another level because, unlike other villains, she seems to think of herself as the "good guy", and being unable to admit to her own fear and cheap motivations disgusts me even more. Fuck you, Raven. Shittiest mom. Some people think it's sacrificial for her daughter's sake but given her attitude it certainly doesn't seem like it, and even if it is sacrificial, she's gone about it terribly.
