Well, I've been posting in all the discussion threads it seems, though no one has posted in them for a while. So may as well post in this one. This is a really tough decision, though my choices aren't between the most popular ones. I'm mostly stuck between Shasta, Caspian, and Rilian. I know Rilian's part is pretty short, but I'll agree with TheGeneral on the first page, he seemed incredibly noble and brave. He had something really solemn about him that struck me as cool, and I loved he was described as looking like Hamlet when he was enchanted. I love Hamlet. And how neat was it when he was newly freed, and he had no idea whether he would live or die, but he's riding along singing and whistling? That's tough.

Caspian has always been a favourite of mine. The film Caspian didn't really capture his essence, in my opinion. He just seems like such a fun guy to hang with. Particularly funny is the quote he says to Eustace at the end of Silver Chair when Eustace asks him if he could be a ghost. Lol. I like that he has a temper at points, too. Reminds me of myself. XD I could just see myself getting along really well with him, laughing and joking.

Shasta made me laugh quite a bit, too. He also seems like a fun guy, and, like someone else mentioned, I love his bravery and willingness to help people. He didn't even know the Narnians or the Archenlanders that well, had never even been there, but he still gave it his all to save them. And the way he falls in love with Aravis--too cute. :] I love their little bickerings, reminds me of my Bill and I.

I like The Last Battle a lot so I might have to say King Tirian. He and his unicorn Jelw are some of my favorites. Tirian is brave and strong. While I tend to like the end of sagas like The Return of the King, Tirian hates what opposes Aslan. When hearing falsely that Aslan has ordered trees to be cut down and Narnians to be slaves Tirian gives himself over to such lies, with the desire to obey Aslan. So that's some of my reasons.

King Tirian of Narnia would be mine. He is brave and strong and very intriguing to me.
P.S.-I also like The Last Battle a lot

Eventhough, I picked Eustace I love Eustace and Edmund the same. I really cannot decide between the two.

They are both really awesome guys who went through transformations to get where they were. I loved VDT because they were both in it. Double the fun. LB also had them both but they did not have as much interaction in the book.

Hmmmm it seems I'm practically the only one who voted for Cor Believe it or not, he really is my favorite. A close second is Digory. I don't know why. from the very beginning, in LWW, you really like the Professor. I really like him in MN. He's so sweet, but quite practical.

Caspian (PC/VDT)

Ben is a really good actor. He's perfect for the role of Caspian.

I chose Shasta. I've always really liked his character; he just seems like a nice, unassuming kid. He's also an underdog and he's easy to root for. Plus, he jumped off Bree and went back and "fought" the Lion when it was clawing Aravis. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any other solitary act by a Narnian male that's as courageous as that.

Eustace is probably my second favorite. He's a wonderful character, and his arc throughout VDT, SC and LB is amazing.

Honestly, my favorite character--male or female--varies from book to book. Admittedly, that's kind of my way of justifying not having to pick a favorite, generally speaking.

In the end, though, I voted for Edmund. I really, really love seeing the maturity Edmund gains after his redemption. From being the first character to trust Lucy's judgment in PC to being the one to talk to Eustace on the beach in VDT. Also, I like that he's a practical and level-headed character, but he's not above some snark from time to time. (I refer you to the infamous "Girls don't carry a map in their heads" scene. ) Also, as a side benefit, Edmund appears in three of my top 4 favorite Chronicles--in order, The Horse and His Boy, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and of course The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.

After Edmund, though, I think my next favorite character is Eustace, for similar reasons. (Yes, I love a good redemption story. ) I also enjoy that, while his circumstances are similar to Edmund's, he never seems to take certain things for granted the same way that the Pevensies do. Since he didn't live in Narnia for years and years, at the beginning of The Silver Chair, he's still a little uncertain about how to call out to Aslan, relying entirely on what he witnessed in the events of VDT. This has more to do with how the story is told than Eustace himself, but still--I enjoy the opportunity to see Narnia through fresh eyes again, though without the need for the characters to start completely in the dark again.

And, if there had been three options, Shasta would have been third. Like I said before, The Horse and His Boy is my favorite Chronicle, and Shasta's character is a big part of that. Again, I like the opportunity to see the world of Narnia through a different perspective--this time, someone who has lived in the world, but has never known Narnia itself until the end. I also like that he starts the story with a certain degree of honor and courage, even having been raised as little better than a slave by a fisherman--and even without knowing his true identity. Yes, he still does some questionable things (such as all the "raiding"), but I think those are outweighed by both his character development and the moments where he shows great courage (such as, most notably, going back to rescue Aravis and Hwin from a Lion).

This was a hard choice, to say the least.

But I had to go with Edmund. He grows a lot over the series, becoming a quietly confident young man from an insecure kid. He learns to know what is right and true and learns to say and do those things, without fearing what others think of him or anything else. That's a quality that I wish I had more of.

But I have so many other favorites...

Caspian has always been a favorite. I find him almost funny, because in Prince Caspian he has literally no idea what he's doing and he's trying to muster this whole army that is honestly quite distrustful of him. But he succeeds anyway (with a little help).

Corin. Seriously, he's such an odd choice. But I love that's he's so sassy and so enthusiastic about life.

And finally, Tirian. It's been awhile since I've read The Last Battle (even though it's my favorite Narnia book), but I remember liking him a lot. He holds true to his beliefs even in the darkest of times.

Edmund is my choice. He is a risk taker and sure he makes mistakes, but we all do and we have to learn from them as he did. He became a lot stronger because of his mistakes and learning from them. Just look at how much he grew from the first movie to the third movie.

It's funny, when I was younger, I really liked Peter. I would've said he was my favorite in a heartbeat. I admired him a lot in the books (the movies really took away a lot of his redeemable qualities, but I understood why those decisions were made). He always protected his siblings, even when he had no clue what was going on, and he was always so strong and valiant in my mind. To the youthful me, he was like a shining knight, and I liked that about him.

However, as I have aged and really spent a lot of time reading each book, I find that Edmund has really become my favorite. I've grown to really like characters that start out pretty rotten but they grow and mature and are redeemed in the end. To me, Edmund is the most relatable character in the Narnia series, and I feel that this is how it should be. In a way, we're all in Edmund's place in the grand scheme of things, if you take into account the religious tones of the story. So yes. Edmund is my favorite. Which is hilarious because looking back to my days watching the animated movie, I can clearly remember how much I despised him haha.

Could not agree more!! It is so cool to see him mature throughout the books and even glimpses in HHB of how he is as an adult. I think that they did a pretty good job of it in the movies for the most part.

Woah, I was surprised to see that Edmund had the most votes. I absolutely love Peter's character, how obnoxious he may be at times

Can't believe I missed this poll for so long! I voted "off the grid". Technically, he's not a Narnian, he's an Archenlander, but I voted for King Lune. He seems to exude so much joy, as well as courtesy, kindness, courage, strength and a wry sense of humour. If they ever do make a film of The Horse And His Boy, I want to play him!

It is hard to choose, but I think it is Edmund. I love his character arc. Not only within LWW, but I love the glimpse you get of him in HHB, and how he's grown so much and because a wonderful king! That was a nice touch on Lewis' part as an author.
