Who do you think Hayley's favorite character is?
Who do you think Debi's favorite character is?
I'll be honest: it's definitely Beatrice. I love that she goes to bat for Hero. I love that she's stubborn and prideful, but can admit when she's messed up. I like that she's vulnerable and allows herself to give Benedick another chance.
I'll let Debi respond here too.
