Favourite POV character?

My favorite POV character, this is a really tough question and to be honest I think it depends on the book for me. Usually I prefer the POV characters that give me a glimpse of King's Landing, so Tyrion and Sansa in the earlier books. I also love Arianne Martell's point of view and anything that show's me Dorne in book 4. I actually adore her, and the brief glimpses of Dorne we see are really such a treat.
But i guess my favorite point of view would probably be...hmm..it's really a toss up between Arianne and Sansa. Probably Jaime too, as he's my favorite character :P
Conversely, my least favorite points of view are from Bran...I really don't like Bran. I know this makes me a bad person but I can't help it I find him so annoying. And I also don't really get enthused whenever I come up on an Arya chapter in the later books because I just find her storyline to be so bizarre once she gets to Braavos. Books 1-3 I really enjoy her, but beyond that I just feel really weird about her storyline. I think a re-read of the chapters now that I know what to expect, is definitely in order for me.
