I think my favorite ones would have to be Varda and Ulmo. I loved Varda right away as soon as I started reading the Silmarillion. I love the stars in Middle Earth and I also love how the Elves respect her so much and can call on her in their time of need.

Elbereth they name her, and they call upon her name out of the shadows of Middle-earth, and uplift it in song at the rising of the stars.

I have also always been fascinated with the ocean, thus began my love for Ulmo, lord of the waters. I think it's amazing how he can speak to those in Middle Earth by the ways of river or stream. It's also a great thing that he never abandoned the people of Middle Earth even when the Valar were against them.

At times he will come unseen to the shores of Middle-earth, or pass far inland up firths of the sea, and there make music upon his great horns, the Ulumúri, that are wrought of white shell; and those to whom that music comes hear it ever after in their hearts, and longing for the sea never leaves them again.
