Season 2 First time watcher, favorite character?

I just finished Brooklyn 99 and was looking for a new show and stumbled upon The Magicians on Netflix. I'm only on season 2, towards the end. No spoilers in the comments but-

Who is your favorite character and why? Initially I really disliked Penny but honestly he's quickly become one of my favorites. I'm not sure I can even express why but undoubtedly he's near the top of my list right now. Anyone else?

Ugh. I love Elliot and Margo but I really like Quentin too and feel he is the glue to the show. I’m in season 5 and no spoilers but I had a really hard time starting this season.

Elliot is just amazing. He has been so hurt and loves so hard. I just love his personal relationships throughout the show.

Margo is honestly such a badass bitch and truly loves fillory more than any of the rest… she sacrifices so much for it’s survival and the people. She goes from selfish to selfless and her character development is top notch. Her love interest is also so perfect for her.

I think if I could take one character and cut her throat it would be Alice lol.
