#1 Clementine
The most adorable character in any video game I've ever played. She was the whole reason I kept playing. Smart, mature for her age, and she knows when mischief is appropriate.
#2 Omid
The dude likes kids, and somebody has to take care of Clementine. Also funny, though he needs to take some pointers from Clem about timing.
#3 Christa
Omid's soulmate, and character foil, Christa knows how to keep the man in check. Also fond of kids, she would make another excellent caretaker for Clementine. Plus, with a baby on the way, she has a lot to live for.
#4 Ben
I know, I know... Lotta people hate him. After all the death he inadvertently caused, he has a lot of making up to do. He can't do that when he's dead, so if I had any say in it, he would survive.
Now, there are some characters that I really like, but did not make my list here. Why? Well, because I think their (supposed) deaths in the story had a lot of meaning.
The big one? Of course, Lee. He spent all but the first scene trying to keep Clementine safe, whether you played him as an upstanding citizen, or a pragmatic asshole. In the last moments of the game, he did everything he could to make it so Clementine didn't need him anymore. That effectively ended his story.
Next, Kenny. I'm assuming he is dead, despite the "no body, no death" rule. I may very well be wrong, but I doubt it. There's simply no reason for him to return, just like Lee. Kenny has lost everything he held dear. He deserves a reprieve. If he returns, there is only going to be more suffering for him.
