Oh wow, lovely

It's hard for me to choose a favorite character from Skins because I really like all of them. From the main casts even down to their parents/sibling and the extras like Josie the guidance councilor. But there are some that really stood out for me and caught my attention.

1. Cassie Ainsworth (Hannah Murray)

"She's thin, and blonde. She says 'Wow' a lot" - Tony

In Skins, Cassie appears to be a very insecure and complex character as depicted by her mental disorders. She suffers most notably from an eating disorder (anorexia nervosia) as seen in her episode in series 1. The show also focused on her complicated relationship with Sid as they go through a series of ups and downs throughout series 1 and 2. I was really drawn to Cassie out of the other characters probably because she is the most insecure person out of the group. Her insecurities is what made me find her interesting and she somehow evokes this mysterious-eccentric-and euphoric aura which is why I think many people are also fascinated with her. The last picture above is probably Cassie's famous scene and 'one of the most loved scenes' from Skins' fans. In this scene, Cassie tries to commit suicide by mixing alcohol using a vodka-injected water gun with one of her medicines after Sid stood her up.

3. Chris Miles (Joe Dempsie)

"Like Chris, he said f--- it, I'll do it my way and the people that love me

will understand why I'm doing it because they love me" - Michelle

Chris is most likely the most loved character out of everyone in Skins. In the show he appears to be the "party animal" of the group and the poster boy the for the hedonistic lifestyle. As the show progresses, we then get to see that there are a lot of "layers" underneath his "party animal" image. Many people love Chris because his character always made people laugh and have a good time. Yet, he also made people cry especially in Series 2 while apologizing to Jal after screwing up and in his last moments before dying from subarachnoid hemorrhage which he inherited from his brother. Just like everyone I was really sad and upset when he died. No one can ever made us laugh the way Chris did.

3. JJ Jones (Ollie Barbieri)

JJ: Just care OK?
Cook: About what?
JJ: About me!

JJ's episode in series 3 is probably my favorite out of the bunch. I really liked it because the episode was consistently played out and it is what I would call 'simple and yet elegant at the same time'. Part of the three musketeers (Cook, JJ, Freddie), JJ is like the kid of the group because of his child-like behaviour and yet also the matured one compared to the other two. He is very good when it comes to magic and always has trick ready up on his sleeve, yet lacks skills in the social department due to his autism. JJ is the only characted that I really liked in series 3. After watching his episode, you can't help but just fall in love with his character and wished that you have a friend just like him.
