Who is your favorite character in the legendarium?

I'm betting there are a lot of Bombadil #1 fans out there and I can see why. He's just living a happy free relaxed life unbeholden to anyone.

However, I think Bilbo is very similar in many ways and he's also an excellent writer.

Also, Bilbo isn't as silly as Bombadil, but he's not as serious as Frodo. He's the proper temperature porridge for me.
