Question for Authors

If any authors out there wouldn't mind taking a minute out of their day, could you please answer these quick questions for me?

Who is your favorite character from your book(s)? Why?
Who was your favorite character to write? Why
If these are different, why do you think that is?

I hope to get a good amount of feedback, so for those of you who are not authors, look for the answers soon here on Typeset World (within the next two weeks, that should be a fair amount of time for authors to get back in touch).

Thank you!
