We haven't done a meme in a while. I picked this one up from LiveJournal, where you were supposed to ask people to pick a fandom for you and then fill it out using whichever one they picked. Someone suggested "Dickens" as a fandom, which gave me the idea of using it here.
So here it is for you to fill out with the Dickensian characters of your choice! My own picks will be in the comment section below.

Yeah, I know just what you mean. :-)
John Jarndyce is a good choice. He's such a sweetheart!

Hey, cool meme!
+ favorite male: Mr. Guppy (I can't help it XD)
+ favorite female: guess
+ least favorite: Miss Havisham? I dunno. :P

+ favorite male: This one is hard. I actually really like Fred from A Christmas Carol
+ favorite female: Estella. I also really like Helena
+ least favorite: Orlick
+ most attractive: I'm not sure about this one
+ three more characters that I like: Jaggers, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and Estella's mother even though we don't know too much about her.
+ favorite romantic ship: A few from Edwin Drood as well as Pip/Estella
+ favorite friendship: Joe and Pip perhaps, but they're more like family I suppose

+ favorite male: Arthur Clennam
+ favorite female: Esther
+ least favorite: Madame Defarge.
+ most attractive: I have to go with Estella. Without dwelling too much on physical appearances, Dickens manages to convey the impression that most of his heroes and heroines are good looking, but Estella goes out and proves it by collecting devoted admirers by the score.
+ three more characters that I like: Nadgett, the detective in Martin Chuzzlewit; Captain Cuttle; Mr. Crisparkle - I love how he uses his influence on Neville Landless to appeal to his better instincts to do, not what is easy, but what is right.
+ favorite romantic ship: Amy Dorrit and Arthur Clennam.
+ favorite friendship: Sam Weller and Mr. Pickwick. In my view, this is the friendship that transformed Pickwick Papers from being a decent first novel into one of the finest novels in the English language.
