Rocky Horror Show

So I'm doing a project for Creative Writing - What qualities do people look for when choosing a favorite character? I figured that you guys could help me with this one, after all, the conclusion sounds more realistic when you have actual facts or the support of others to back it up. So if you could please post who your favorite character is and then post why you like them it would be a big help.
And, no, you're not doing my project for me, I've already done most of it, I just thought having this would help make my project better.
I hope to see everyone's post.
Thanks!

Here's an example of what I would like:
My favorite character is Frankenfurter, because he is played by Tim Curry in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Tim Curry is one of my favorite actors. Plus, the character is so eccentric, I just can't help but like him.

That isn't so bad, is it? It doesn't even have to be that long, as long as you make it clear to me who you choose, and especially why you choose them.
Thanks again!

I vote for Riff Raff. I love a character who is sick of having to obey the rules of someone controlling them and takes a stand. I like how he and Magenta overpower Frank.
was that good?

Riff Raff because after all that happens, it turns out that he's in charge.
Salome

Janet. she starts out so innocent and quickly becomes seduced. She lets out her inner slut and from then on she is fully sexually liberated.

as an actress its so fun getting to go on stage and be that free!

Firstly, just to be picky, but it's Frank N Furter, not Frankenfurter.

He is, however, my favourite, as he is charismatic and seductive as well as fun and dangerous.
The Very Angry Woman

Ahem...

Oookaaay, somehow the poll stopped?

My fave is Magenta. She's quiet, yet evil - slowly plotting to take-over with her brother Riff-Raff. And she's very sultry. Her costume [in the original stage shows] is the best - NOT the maid's costume. Also, she knows how to have a good time ("Time Warp" & "What Ever Happened To Saturday Night"). Plus, if you do the show according to script, she gets to double as the Usherette - performing the best song of the show ("Science Fiction").

Sorry for the late reply (I'm a new member and I've only just discovered this thread) but the stage Magenta costumes (well in the UK anyway...) are as follows:

A black bra, thong, fishnet or black stockings held up with a black suspender belt, a black corset and black boots. Then on top of those is a wrap-style see-through dress, usually made out of chiffon. It is low cut and usually wraps around at the waist. The hem is usually in a W shape.

www.timewarp.org.uk has some decent images.

pretty much her negligee in the dinner scene of the film was her original costume in the stage show, up til the take-over.

I love this show.. but when I saw it at one of our local colleges, I wasn't impressed. Their Brad and Janet were really winey and they couldn't sing. The only good things about that show were their Riff Raff, Frank-N-Furter, and their band.
Margenta

My favorites is Frank'n'Furter and Margenta.

I like Frank'n'furter becouse he is the "meen" Twisted Evil one and he is so cool looking.Its fun when hetry too look sexy.Its also fun that he doesnt shave his arms.

I like Magenta becouse she sounds cool and look doublecool!!!!!

I love Eddie the most. Mainly because of the song, he sings-- in my opinon, is probably the best song in the whole show. He's just one of those characters that pops up and is out, but he goes out in a hell of a bang.
