I was talking to a friend of mine about a mutual... well, at this point, she's barely a friend to either of us. A remark I made in reference to her comes to mind with Sven, as well: It's a shame when someone's best qualities turn out to be just a phase they were going through. I'm not ready to write Sven off yet, but the way he acted the last couple of times we saw him were a big step backwards.
I tend to forget Nat, even on the increasingly rare occasions we see Amir in the strip.
Mlle Germain:
I think this is a rather unpopular opinion, but mine would be May - it's good I don't know her in real life, because she annoyed the hell out of me in the first ark she showed up in.
But I have to say that I like her a lot more now than when she was first introduced and when she first showed up at Dale's again due to the ark where she tries to find a job (making a stand against AI discrimination) and also moderates her behaviour (trying to make friends with Marigold and Momo, for instance). I do think she needs to learn to take others' feelings into account more, but she's probably on a good way. Still, I wouldn't like her to be a main character; she does tend to push everyone else (who I like more) totally into the background wherever she shows up and she is still pretty obnoxious, which causes me to not enjoy story arcs that feature her very much.
While there are quite a few more characters I would not become friends with in real life (the majority, probably. I think I'd have really good chances to be friends with Claire, Hanners and Penelope, though), I like them as characters in the comic and I love reading about them.

I doubt if it's that unpopular an opinion -- people were pretty sharply divided when she showed back up. I think she's got potential, and she's trying -- in her own skewed way -- to figure it out and reach it.
The only characters I think I'd have issues with if they were real people are Clinton and Sven. I don't mind them as characters, but as real people, I'd have to keep them at arm's length most of the time for my own sanity.
Thrillho:
I would say Sven, but at least I remember him.
QC has had a LOT of characters over the years and given its often slow pace characters who've not been seen for like a few weeks in QC time can go missing for years at a time. So I'd say my least favourite is equally all of the ones who are no longer in it, apart from Raven, who I miss.
JLM:
This is hard, because I totally wanted them to get together, but Emily reminds me of someone I knew a long time ago, in a bad way. The type of person who still TyPeD LiKE ThIS well into her twenties, and did her best to shut down any chance to get to know the real her (all surface, no substance, more or less). I'd hoped that we'd get to see the real side of her in a potential relationship (and we may still yet get some of that in the potential fallout once she finds out about Marten and Claire), but it seems she's destined to be a perpetual weirdo. I do like her occasional bursts of sass though.
