It was a tough choice, because I like so many of them, but in the end it was a tie between Narada and Valmiki. I ended up choosing Narada because he's in almost every story of Hindu puranas and always serves as a catalyst for major events. He was one of the deepest devotees of the Lord and often forgot his own divinity because of getting caught up in worldly feelings. He advised people (many of whom did not take his advice) to change the flow of time, and found that not much could change Vidhi if the person's death time is near. Plus, Narada is such a fun character too and we (at least I) find myself getting caught up in his mischief and find both humor and meaning in it.
