The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma

What character(s) in this book would you most and least like to be friends with, and why?

The character in the book that I would most like to be friends with is Reynard Muldoon. I would like to be friends with Reynard because he seems to keep his cool in tough situations. For example, one time he was in a hot sticky room with a very grumpy girl and he managed to not lose control of his temper once. In addition, this same grumpy girl likes to make up this very unpleasing poetry, and Reynard tends to never snap at her. He also is very kind to the grumpy girl when she gets upset. All in all, in hard circumstances Reynard seems to have the ability to calm himself. He also seems to have great kindness and he can be able to care for others. Those qualities he has are some of the many qualities I would be looking for in a good friend.
