It's hard to pick a favourite! I like all of them at different times for different reasons. I think of the whole my one favourite is probably Merry. He has a good balance of silliness and seriousness, he's rational and responsible but can also take things lightly, he's both philosophical and carefree, he does acts of leadership and bravery in a very unassuming way. He's well-balanced, and he combines the traits of Frodo, Sam, and Pippin in moderation. I feel that I would also probably like him best if I were to meet the quartet in person
