There's ... I want to say 3-5 wonderful spots to take a character from in the series, depending on the angle you're going for, so I know the feeling on how hard a decision it could be. But post game makes sense.

Chloe's always been my main muse from the canon. If I want to play a voice 'like' Kirika, I play as Rei Ayanami generally. I see characters like her as being partialy derivative of her personality, so I have trouble playing ones that aren't her (even if Kirika has a lot more in her head than Rei did.). Mireille simply isn't a muse for me. I love playing opposite her, but I don't generally lean towards characters like her.

But, if there's a scene that cemented my interest in Chloe back when I apped her to Amat years ago? It was the moonlit tea party, or the final build-up to her death. The aspects of her as a potentially redeemable, tragic but at the same time legitimately psychotic and unequivocably evil person made her much more interesting than a lot of deuterotagonists for me. It gave me a bit to work with when I joined Amat (though I was also tempted to app Rose in just because technically she was appable at the third book when I joined that game).

What's your favorite and least favorite character in the homestuck canon?
