One of my favorites has always been Eowyn from The Two Towers and The Return of the King. I loved the fact that she was a warrior and felt strongly enough in her convictions to follow her own path.

I haven't read a lot of Pratchett's works -- which is a shame, I might add -- but from what I've seen of Death, he has very much the potential of becoming a favourite character of mine! Does he appear in a majority of the Discworld stories?
Other than that, Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy hosts a great deal of very interesting characters, FitzChivalry Farseer and the Fool perhaps being the most noteworthy.
I've also started taking quite a liking to Gandalf recently. He's far more awesomse in the books than in the films.

I love Gandalf! Not only is he wise but he also has a sense of humor, how often do you find that in a wizard/mentor.

Indeed, not often enough! And that's one fancy quote you've got in your signature. wink

Definitely! I also see it as a reminder to never take anything at face value, you could be wrong.

Just Tsuki is right, DEATH has a cameo at least in almost every Discworld book, there are also a number of books where he's one of the primary characters.
...Oh and I'm also quite fond of Matilda, from Roald Dahl's book by the same name.
