(That part of me is definitely in Gyre from THE LUMINOUS DEAD, too.)

For favorite to write, it's (unsurprisingly?) a tie between Jane and Gyre. They're both so very good at trying to take charge of a situation and making it a lot worse. Gyre's physicality in particular was a lot of fun to wrap my brain around, and her anger was as cathartic as her confusion was engaging.(less)
