Sympathetic?
Likeable?
Interesting?
Proactive?
Character traits aside, what are the fundamentals of a good POV character. When I think of Tyrion Lannister from ASOIAF (one of my all-time favorite POV characters), he is all of the above. When I think of Sansa (also from ASOIAF, and one of my LEAST favorite POV characters of all-time), she is quite honestly none of the above, despite the fact that she is very well written.
You could say, "Start with who gets hurt the most by the events taking place?" In that respect, Sansa makes sense. Yet, I still did not like reading her chapters. I liked her as a character in the story, but not a POV.
You could say, "A character should want something. He/She should have a desire." Sansa had many wants and desires...
Maybe this is just too big and too complicated? I feel like I'm asking what the meaning of life is.
