Hannelore or Raven? Who's your favorite?
Rainforce:
I would chose for Hannelore, although I think this opinion is influenced too much by the fact that raven didn't show up for some time.
DSL:
They'd both be fun to be around and, as depicted by Jeph, are both good people who mean well. Hannelore gets points for consciously working to overcome/work around (or with) her OCD, as lollbot pointed out above -- but I'd give her more points for this: Although the decision to seek the job at the coffee shop was a thought-out move, in consultation with her therapist, to benefit herself, she has spontaneously undertaken something her OCD or germ phobia or both would have prevented her from doing, when she saw a friend in trouble. She helps herself by helping her friends. No, she's not a perfect saint from space. It's kind of interesting to me that the one thing guaranteed to piss her off is self-pity.
IMMANotListening:
Well, my personal favorite is Hannelore although that might partly be due to the fact that she's had a significant amount more screen-time and her development since the early days of the comic has been absolutely phenomenal. She has gone through so much growth using one of the examples that DSL used, undertaking courses of action and being more accepting that she cannot control other people's germ control (personally, one of my favorite moments is when she catches out Faye and Angus making out on her couch and she cleans up afterwards. I can personally relate to that!).
Hannelore is also IMO a great deal more interesting and eccentric than Raven. Brings new elements and plot to the table.
(I tend to have a liking for the most bizarre and eccentric characters :3)
kiss-o-kill:
Without a doubt, Raven.
I like Hanners, but, especially in recent years, there's been too many scenes of Hanners being cute, or Hanners getting scared, or Hanners getting scared which somehow makes her cute, etc.
Unlike Hanners, Raven's antics never really got old, and her rare moments of insight were far more amusing to read than Hanners' rare moments of "omg im trying something new look at me go". Raven's just plain funnier too, and it's fun to see Jeph write a character that isn't quite on the same wavelength as the other characters.
On a sidenote, I kind of want Raven and Tai to meet - unless they have already, but I'm drawing a blank.
Faye Whitaker:
Between the two I pick Hannelore. So many of her scenes just make me go D'awwww.
