Wow.... What a Question!

I can't exactly say I have ONE favorite, I admire close to everyone for their own reasons.

I have written several character essays (for english class actually. and received very good grades!), one of them on Faramir, another Frodo, and Aragorn... and some on races and people in general.

because I love every character so much, I'll mention a few that really stick out as amazing:

Aragorn- He not only has such intelligence and physical strength, he has very strong courage, emotional strength, and outstanding leadership qualities.

Samwise- Dear Samwise.. Sam is a the truest friend in all of the world, If more friends could be like him, so loyal and brave, what a world this would be!

Mithrandir- He has such a good heart, and wisdom beyond what he even knows (..Olorin was wisest of the Maia), and as mentioned on this site, the only one of the Wizards to stay true to his task. I admire his determination for good will.

Frodo- He volunteered a deadly task when none else would, and worked tirelessly and earnestly in the greatest emotional struggle anyone could endure, not even to say he would even go into the heart of Mordor Alone. That is courage and strength from the deepness of his very soul.
