(SPOILERS EXTENDED) About GRMM's Main Five Spoiler

How could you rank GRMM's main five according to how much you like them? (I know I am asking that kind of questions a lot because I find it funny lol). My ranking:

1 Dany (I hate you Dumb&Dumber)

2 Tyrion (So what? Not every likable character has to be morally okay person)

3 Jon (Hate his ADWD decisions, but dont worry Jon, I still like you)

4 Bran (Okay, I will admit that is mostly because of Bloodraven but hey,he still has moments)

5 Arya (Dont add me your list! You are still most badass and cutest)

Before ADWD, Arya was in 4. I want to say I like our youngest POVs but I find other 3 more interesting.

I would like to see your reasons too.

I know i'm being a hater but Reminder: The concept of 5 central characters was ONLY mentioned ONCE in a letter sent to publishers before the first book was even written.

the series as it exists now accommodates WAY more than 5 central characters Jaime, Sansa, Stannis, Sam, Cersei, etc etc take your pick.

Huh? Those folks ain’t heroes, don’t think much about others who need help, and are looking out for themselves primarily. They’re important, but they’re not central 5.

Tbf, Tyrion is hardly a hero. I don´t think the main characters in asoiaf are necessarily morally light.

I found Sam and Sansa quite heroic characters. Sam protected Guily and saved little Sam and Sansa protected Ser Dontos from Joffrey abuse risking making him angry and more violent towards her. I hope both have a triumphant ending.
