Mine change around constantly as well, but my top 3 are pretty consistent so I'll explain them at least.

1) Amethyst - I really relate to her. She cares too much about what others think of her and finds reasons to dislike herself. It was important for me to see a character that also struggles with insecurity and self esteem issues, which is why I think her character development was stellar. Seeing a character like Amethyst learn to love inspires hope... and I love that by finding herself, she's decided to help others find themselves too. Idk, she's just a sweetie.

2) Steven - We go on this journey with him, see everything from his perspective, and watch his growth. It's hard for me not to like him as a character because of this. I find it admirable that he approaches everything with optimism and genuinely wants to help others. I think it's important that his need to be of use to others is being addressed though. His arc right now is actually heartbreaking and I hope he gets his needed break.

3) Smoky Quartz - Heh, I mean they're the fusion of my two favs so this is inevitable. The close bond Steven and Amethyst share is important to me and Smoky is a reflection of this. Seeing how both of them have similar insecurities and can lean on each other for support in this regard actually reminds me of my own relationship with my sibling, so I guess this is also a big reason why I like Smoky.

4) Pearl 5) Jasper 6) Pink Diamond (controversial take, I know) 7) Lapis (would be higher, but she has missed potential imo. I wish more things regarding her were addressed)
