Gosh, there are a lot of options here. Hmm...

Tides: So Tides maybe has one of my favorite OC casts in a TD fanfic ever. I just don't dislike any of them and can point to a payoff or moment from them I like (yes, even Eylar, Leo or Kimmi). Faves include Andre, Cherry, Fleur, Viola, Grayson, Trixie, Zania...a lot really xD But my favorite has to be Hannah. Ironic for a character I was pretty meh towards in Frozen.

Why is she my fave? I honestly have a hard time explaining. But she's always fun and entertaining. She never loses that crazy spark even as she becomes a better go; she's still motivated and a little self-centered even as she grows. But she forms geniune friendships, admits her past mistakes, and becomes an unlikely leader (I love unlikely leaders). It's a redeemed character who doesn't become boring by growing, just more rootable.

Toad: So I read this series as it continued and have a lot of fond memories of it and its characters. Probably all my favorites are the ones in Superstar Showdown, which is where they're the best. Arthur, Layla, Julia, Puck, Casey, Wolfgang, Helga, Chelsey, Nic. My favorite is probably Flora because she checks off a lot of niches for a favorite (sweet, underdog who becomes a badass, hilarious). But she and the finalists of TD:SS could all interchange as favorites depending on how I feel.

LTDI: It's hard to separate my love of canon characters from their interpretations, especially since LTDI makes them feel very consistent while developed. Sadie deserves special mention though for being a character I liked a bit but mostly was meh in the original, to become a favorite. Currently though, I think Courtney is my favorite. She's got all the traits from Island but never becomes a villain or out of character, while also having her own interesting struggles. Other faves include Katie, Heather, Ezekiel, Izzy, Lindsay, Cody, Chef, and the interns Ella and Dawn.

Paradise Beach: Jena. She's an iconic wiki character in my opinion, being the first time I really remembering seeing a secret Big Bad pulled off, and a fun antagonist who is more than just the strategist. Outback could produce a new favorite from SG series in the future though...

S.S. Total Drama: I think Lana was my favorite and I still love her to pieces; she's the sad, shy girl with no self-esteem whose also very relatable with her desire to latch onto fiction as an escape but become too obsessed with it. But I think Patricia is my fave now; she works on a whole other level and I think elevates S.S. Also, she's LIVID. Meredith, Ryan, and g.oddess Anamaria deserve mention as well.

Nayld: Bozo is another character who just checks off Rhonda character fave cliches, mainly being a hilarious, crazy female character. Humor may just be important for me to like a character. Other mentions go to Jocelyn, Susan, Audrey, Jess, Fraiser, Hank and Lacey.

Shuffled: This series on fanfiction.net is a recommended simply for how it makes the characters feel like canon but also developed and likable. Case in point? Duncan and Mike are in the same season and I actually enjoy both of their characters in it. My favorite in the series is probably Eva, just for how well she's done for an underused canon character and how satisfying her story is.

Comeback: Another one from fanfiction.net. Once again dipping into canon bias, but I think Izzy is my favorite from the series. She offers a lot of entertainment and fun in a very fun series, but she also shows something that is rarely see in TD fanfics with her character; some depth and emotion beyond coco.

As for my own characters...um? That's hard. If we want to look back at WTH, then Jovi, Nellie, Julie, Barbie and Bradley. For Genesis...well I should finish it before I say. Honestly, my Genesis favorite can change literally based on who I'm writing most of the time, which is a good thing to say about the cast xD I want to say there is a higher tier but...that tier just keeps growing it feels like.

Phew, I feel like that's a lot. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few characters or a series. But there are a lot xD I wanted to say a definitive favorite out of all of them, but that's just too hard to choose.
