Favorite FF6 Character?

I'd have to say Shadow because he was the coolest-looking of the main characters. And he's a ninja and I like how he has a dog as a shield and as a weapon and that is his only friend. I don't really like him leaving during the World of Balance but his quotes seem to be insensetive and no matter how he denies that he does not care and does not need help from the party, he ends up joining anyhow and develops a kinship with the party.
I'd also have to say Celes is my favorite female character of the story. To me her sprite is better than Terra's and she learns some spells Terra does not and her romantic relationship(implied) with Locke is a special part of the story. For a while, I thought she looked like Miss Piggy with the blonde poofy hair, but as I grew I understood what spriting and sprites were.
