Trusk'our Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 Tough choice, but I choose Pattern; he's funny, awkward, friendly, and has an alien mentality. Stormfather is my second favorite because he also has an interesting mindset that leads to some interesting character interactions. I also really like how he fits with Dalinar as his Radiant. Syl is my third favorite because she has a childlike sense of wonder about her. I'm not into much of her humor or childish (yes, I know, It's a little contradictory, but that's how I honestly feel) behavior though, which is probably why she isn't higher on my list, though I can see why many people would choose her as their favorite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OokIa the Believer Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 I put Syl, even though she is a popular choice. Second is the stormfather 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivemyheart Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 Pattern for sure. I just think he's hilarious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scars of Hathsin Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 I put down Notum, as he is an intriguing character facing problems, but using his morals all the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ookla the Vacant Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 I chose Maya. The raw emotion that her speech gives in RoW is incredible. Second on my list is Wyndle. I love how he plays off of Lift, and how we gradually learn that he is not a voidbringer. Third is Design, just because she is absolutely hilarious when playing off of Wit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like her because of that (it's still a factor), but because of her supportive attitude. She worries about Kaladin all the time, she's always encouraging him to try one more time, be happy and take care of himself. When he is at his lowest, she's there trying her best to cheer him up and help him, even if she doesn't understand what's happening. She's there for Kaladin when he froze in OB and when he can't move on in Shadesmar, helping him, hugging him and trying her best to make him better. When Kaladin collapsed emotionally after his retirement in RoW, she was already bringing Adolin to him. She went out of her way to try to understand him, and even asked Stormfather and Dalinar to help her even if that meant messing up her own spirit web. That's why I love her, she's so supportive and helpful despite her childlike behavior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ookla the -3rd Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 I had to say Notum. the radiant spren are great, but Notum is a less fortunate spren who chooses to do what is right multiple times even though it results in bad things for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyKaizen Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 Currently, Maya tops the list. She has come a long way to get where she is. It is an odd sensation to be proud of a fictional character, but I am very proud of Maya. Syl will always be a favorite..she is truly amazing. Pattern goes up and down, but that's more my issue than his. The Stormfather is growing on me, but that's a product of his bond and his willingness (begrudgingly) to change. Ivory can be annoying, but he is a very logical person and I didn't really understand him very well initially. Blended's actions really gave me some much needed context on Inkspren in general, and I really enjoy Blended. Wyndle...poor Wyndle. Nottum is growing, and that's great. It's not great that he had to become a victim of the same prejudice that he dished out with alacrity, until recently..but growth is growth. Design is hilarious and amazing, and I do hope to see a lot more of her in the coming years. Glys, I feel like I know about as well as I know Renarin, which is to say, not much. I look forward to getting to know them better, with great interest. The Sibling is very similar. Even though we've gotten to see and here from them a lot "on screen," almost all of it was in a survival situation where they were very weak. So, I don't feel like I know the Sibling well enough yet. Timbre I like, Venli I didn't for a long time. I am enjoying their story because I really didn't want to forgive Venli for a long time..and it's been a good experience to do so as I walked along with her through her development. All of my favorite characters move up to the top spot and down, as the story rolls on. I can't ever pick just one favorite (at least, not for very long), and I don't plan to start now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syl genuinely cares about Kaladin in a way that you don’t really see with the other Radiants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that a lot about her too, but I also really liked watching Pattern try to push Shallan to grow as well, sticking with her even when she could very possibly cause his destruction. Come to think of it, every Spren tries to push their Radiant to grow except for the Stormfather- Dalinar pushes him to grow instead. Kind of weird, but I still like the dynamic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, Pattern does that too in his own way, and I love that about him as well. Btw @Stitof where is Phendorana? She deserves to be in the poll. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ookla the Sibling Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 Well, I picked Timbre. And then noticed that the Sibling was an option. Actually, I do like Timbre though, the whole musical communication thing is really cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaidakar the Ghostblood Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 Tough. It's between the Stormfather, Wyndle and Design for me... I'll get a vote up there eventually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Bzhydack Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 (edited) You missed everone's favorite Artificial Spren, Nightblood. Spoiler Also, after SP4, all of us probably would say: Aux is the best spren!

ShufflingSpren Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 Had to go with Syl as she’s such a sweet, caring and earnest character but I love Windle and Pattern too. That 0% for Ivory though. He really isn’t the most likeable Spren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also has not had more than a handful of dialog over four books and 2 novellas. That may change in the back five when he gets more screen time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I at least found his dynamic with Jasnah very interesting. I really liked Blended too so I'm hoping we get more Inkspren stuff later (which we definitely will). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little like some of the more self-righteous Honor Spren from Lasting Integrity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrusaderZakk Posted Saturday at 12:44 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 12:44 AM Got to go with Wyndle. I love his interactions with Lift and I can only imagine his exasperation at her initially calling him "Voidbringer" even though she (if I remember correctly) knows she's doing it on purpose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
