My favorite is most certainly the elegent heiress, Weiss Schnee. I think that she's the most human character of the bunch because she's so flawed and yet has so much potential. Weiss has many unlikeable qualities, but at the same time, she has a level of self-awareness and she knows that she can be difficult. She truly wishes to better herself as a person and a Huntress, and wants to be the best that she can be. I also really love her intelligence, confidence, and freethinking ways. She is someone who follows rules and values order, but she still thinks for herself and isn't afraid to question authority if she thinks that those in power made a mistake. As Monty said, she's a bit of a rebel. She is vocal about her opinions and speaks her mind with confidence, and yes, she may be rude and insensitive and can go overboard (and her opinions are quite discriminatory and naive), but at the same time, she is proud and strong-willed, all while dealing with a difficult past. Weiss has suffered, and and I think that she will become a kinder person overtime as she deals with her suffering. She may be a lonely person who had a difficult childhood and a difficult father (and maybe mother), but at the same time, she is proud and proceeds forward in her life with her head held high. Also, she has one of the flashiest fighting styles in the entire show and I LOVE it (and she's really pretty. No sexualization for Weiss; she's just naturally lovely).

Second place goes to Blake. She's a mellow, go-with-the-flow kind of person who believes in true equality, and despite all of the discrimination she's faced from humans, still respects them and believes that they are entitled to equality just as much as the faunus are. She is true realist. She is not overly optimistic and sees the world for what it is, not what she wants it to be, but at the same time, she is also not a pessimist. She doesn't give up just because she alone can't make a difference. She believes in doing what she can even as just one person, hence her becoming a Huntress. She doesn't believe in terms like good and evil, and sees the world in more than just black and white. I feel like she's the one true realist in anime. And she's very witty and has a silver tongue, verbally owning people left and right. And let's not even get started on her fighting style, which is by far my favorite in the series. Shadow clones are just awesome.

Overall, there are so many great characters, and it's really hard to choose favorites after my two main faves. My two favorite guys have to be Adam and Roman, though. Those sexy men have got some serious style.
