Top 20 Favorite Characters
1. The Ice King

2. Princess Bubblegum

3. Marceline

4. Goliad-Goliad is simply brilliant. I would give a long explanation, but she's basically a warning of what PB could become if she detaches herself too far from emotions. I also like her combination of cold pragmatisism and childish niavety. She's a little Orwellian child prodigy, and I love her for it. Key Goliad episodes: Goliad

5. Princess Cookie-I like how Princess Cookie's motivation for being evil is to make others happy. He/she/what is niave enough to think that he/she/wut can actually succeed at what they're doing. He's easily one of the more tragic villains of Adventure Time, right up there with the Ice King. Key Princess Cookie Episodes: Princess Cookie

6. Finn-Finn is a very flawed, realistic protagonist who doesn't always win. I like his desire to become a true hero, and the fact that unlike other protangonists who want to do so, he isn't a Gary Stu who has everything handed to him on a plate. But he manages not to be a loser who fails at everything either. Even in Dungeon, where he had to be rescued twice, we still got to see him go far beyond his limits and succeed in some ways. And there's also the fact that he feels inferior because of his age. Key Finn Episodes: What Was Missing,? Dungeon, Dad's Dungeon, Memories of Boom Boom Mountain

7. Jake-See here

8. Lemongrab

9. Hunson Abadeer-To simplify things, I love how he's evil without actually being a bad person (Lich, you should be taking notes. This guy is what you should have been)I also like how he's not a perfect father, but he still tries to be nice. Unlike most villains who have a good side, he isn't evil because of a tragedy, or because of his background, he enjoys being evil. He wants to watch the world burn, but he isn't completely irredeemable, nor does he have any desire to actually become a good person. Key Hunson Abadeer episodes: It Came from the Nightosphere, Daddy's Little Monster

10. Fionna-She's similar to Finn, but still has some different traits (such as not wanting to be involved in romance just yet) that I like. The only reason she's so low is because she isn't quite as well developed as Finn. Also, she seems a little overpowered compared to her male counterpart. Key Episodes: Fionna and Cake

11. Huntress Wizard-Even thought she's somewhat minor, I like her sarcasm and laid-back additude. She's kind of a casual badass without being too overpowered. Plus, I like that she was willing to appear homosexual in front of a crowd just to prove her strength (or confident enough in her homosexuality to stay for the tournament) Key Episodes: Wizard Battle, Reign of Gunters

12. Joshua-Joshua is a noble, wise, and caring mentor and father to Finn, and I like that he isn't afraid to do bad things for the right reason and has no trouble with using tough love. Key Joshua Episodes: Memories of Boom Boom Mountain, Dad's Dungeon,? Crystals Have Power

13. Susan Strong

14. Prismo-I love how despite being a deity, Prismo does very mundane things and takes orders from others. Plus, he's generally entertaining. Key Prismo Episodes:? Finn The Human, Jake the Dog

15. Glob

16. Ash

Least Favorite Characters
1. The Lich http://adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:TeamUnitedNerds/Why_the_Lich_Sucks,_a_character_study

2. BMO-BMO has no personality, and has so far done pretty much nothing. He's useless and unfunny, and if he wasn't in the show nothing important would change. Some people find him cute. I just think he's annoying. He's basically the Chaotzu of Adventure Time. He's also arrogant, and thinks he's some badass or something. (You know, like when he said his BMO chop can kill a person)

3. Lady Rainicorn-I just think she lacks personality (even though she isn't horribly underdeveloped), and that she's almost totally useless (in my opinion, Lady and Peebles would have been better without her) Plus, I don't like the amount of attention her pregnancy put on her

4. Young Princess Bubblegum-She's like Flame Princess minus the stakes, and if not for her I wouldn't have to deal with a small army of Fubblegum whiners

5. Flame Princess-She could have been interesting, but she turned into a Mary Sue with the personality of a brick. She would be lower on this list if not for my dissapointment.

6. Billy-I don't have anything against him personally, it's just his preechiness in the episode he appears in that drives me crazy. He's like a vegan, a member of PETA, and a republican in one :/

Jake Character Study
Jake could be described as, at first sight, quite noble. He was willing to defy the princess just to save Princess Cookie. However, his primary trait is stupidity, since it is where all of his other traits stem from. Jake is in fact so unintelligent, or perhaps insecure, that any suggestion one puts upon him becomes reality. For example, when he was convinced he was the Gut Grinder, he became it. Basically, he does not actually believe he is a good person.

Jake’s extreme insecurity may come from his father, to some degree. His father told him that he would have to hurt everyone, and Jake believed him without even remembering all that his father had said. So Jake’s combination of insecurity and unintelligence makes him almost dangerous.

And perhaps Jake isn’t actually noble. It seems like he’s only heroic because he doesn’t know better. Any sane or intelligent person wouldn’t have done half the things he had done, which is odd, because of what he did in Beautopia contradicts this quite a lot.

Speaking of which, Jake can be spiteful, particularly when it involves something he’s afraid of or doesn’t trust, like the horse or Hyoomen. This may also relate to his insecurity. Whenever he is made uncomfortable, he goes back on his morals. Jake seems to have a high amount of paranoia as well. He believed that FP was all evil.

In fact, Jake’s tendency to take everything anyone says as reality may just be paranoia. Or, perhaps, Jake is actually mentally unwell. Let me explain. Basically, my theory is that Jake cannot perceive his own reality, and can only comprehend what others tell him. Whether this comes from paranoia, stupidity, or insecurity, Jake is whatever others want him to be. This is ironic, considering that his power is to become anything that he can be.
