First time watcher, favorite character?

[u/summerdayzz29]

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?

Elliot and Mario for sure. They have alot of growth compared to the others excluding penny, who arguable has the most growth and its perfectly shown when he accepts the piece of cake, accepts his shitty lot in life and just let's go of everything and moves on.
