4. Charlie Bradbury

Actress: Felicia Day

"“The really evil ones always need a special sword.” -Charlie Bradbury"

If you watched Supernatural, then you loved Charlie. Her bright and nerdy personality gave the show the light it needed. In many ways, she was a combination of Sam and Dean. She was intelligent like Sam and quick-witted like Dean. Charlie also had Dean’s sense of humor. And, despite being thrown into the life of a hunter, she performed admirably.

Five may seem high, but no one’s death hit harder than Charlie’s. Every viewer shed a tear when she died. She was supposed to outlast everyone. Thankfully, Charlie returned. It doesn’t matter that it was an alternate version of her. It was just good to see her again.

3. Sam Winchester

Actor: Jared Padalecki

"“It doesn’t matter who you are, it only matters what you do.” -Sam Winchester"

Sam Winchester went through a lot. He was the vessel for Lucifer, possessed multiple times, and lived without his soul. That’s only the physical trauma. He’s watched his brother die repeatedly. That was trama he never got over. Nevertheless, Sam kept on going. Even after Dean stayed dead.

If Sam has one negative quality, he’s not as physically tough as his brother. However, he’s more emotionally mature. Sometimes, a softer touch was needed. Sam always provided that. He was also tech-savvy with an encyclopedia’s worth of supernatural knowledge. The world would’ve fallen without him.
