I haven't played them all so it's hard to choose. Monarch is by and large the easiest one to play providing he/she has good traits and a wimpy fatal flaw. At the moment I am playing the worst knight imaginable, but I did not build him, merely used a game one. Really? A cook? Really? Oh, and let's make it better, not only is he a cook but his fatal flaw is cursed. On the other hand, I am falling in love with my bard. Surprised me! She is making money hand over fist simply by doing what bards do. She writes all this stuff and performs it, then sells it and writes more. Rinse and repeat. Her daily tasks are always taken care of, (though I really hate gather inspiration for 2 hours!), she has handily done the quests, has a gorgeous room at the Tavern with all the conveniences and is still quite wealthy. Even better, when she gets mugged and loses money, she simply has to perform some music and the stupid crook gives her as much as she lost if not more! She is friendly and eloquent. I don't remember her fatal flaw because whatever it is it has little effect on her, (or maybe she did the Fountain quest already). So for now, I think it's a toss up between her and the blacksmith for the same reasons already mentioned.
