Favorites: Roman, Mercury, Watts, Qrow, Jacques.

It should be no surprise as to why Roman is constantly the favorite characters of many, including myself. Charming, charismatic, witty, he steals the show with great lines (with Gray of course) and badass fight choreography, with only one stated loss on screen. It also helps that he one of the most in depth motivations stated on screen (without the need for a flashback to boot) and has solid rebuttals to Ruby's idealism.

While not as pronounced as Roman, Mercury deserves a spot simply because he's cool, sassy, laid-back, and all of his fights are incredibly well choreographed. Every single one of them - unless his eventual rematch proves me wrong.

Despite not having a fight to his name as of this writing, the fact that he stands out with his wit and sarcasm has endeared me. At first I thought he was a self-righteous jerk, but now, I see him as the voice of reason on the villains' side. Well-delivered, eloquent lines, and he is one of the smarter characters of the series.

Least Favorites: Weiss, Ironwood, Ozpin, Blake, Ruby, The Albains.

So-So: Raven, Adam, Cinder, Yang, Sun.

As much as I want to know more about Raven, and what makes her hate Ozpin so much, the fact that she never gives a reason to all this excessive pettiness on her stance in the conflict frustrates me to no end.

Ditto for Adam - in one line ("What you want, is impossible!"), he has increased my intrigue about him. What made him willingly walk down his path. I was hoping to get an insight into what terrible past he possibly had to even think this way, and hoped that he would be a mouthpiece to speak about the greying morality between the state of race relations. That and see more of the jaw-dropping moments that he does with his sword (I actually had mad respect for him when he cut Yang's arm off). But instead, we get a strawman punching bag who the writers have to remind us that he's EVIL every five seconds.

Again with Cinder.

While I will admit Yang is one of the characters with a nice arc going on, being funny, sweet, and
