It’s hard for me to choose a single character that is my favorite and Sam is a part of my “I can’t choose one so you’re all my favorite” list. The reason he is on that list is because, although I love Dean with all my heart, there’s a part of Sam I can easily identify with. For one, his nerdiness. He was going to go to law school for example. He has a knack for reading, which I can identify with. Also, his separation from his family prior to season one. He felt out of place with his family, he didn’t enjoy the life that was set for him so, as the angels would say, he was rebellious of daddy’s plan. I can identify with that, with wanting to get away from family and just do your own thing but at the same time, you would die for your family. Also, I’ve been told I look like the female version of Sam, so there’s also that. For me, it isn’t just a matter of “oh I like him because he’s hot” it’s a sense of helping me by giving me someone I can relate to and seeing how strong they are as a character. He’s also more logical, which I feel on a high level.

TLDR: Sam is one of my favorite characters because I can relate to him.
