I voted for her, but her looks are only a small part of it.

First let's eliminate the ones of no or little interest to me (let Listmania continue >_> )
 * Franmalth: Too hyper... he will probably be the comical relieve and thus I'll probably end up hating him.
 * Torafuse: Too hung up on how he appears to others. Narcisist perhaps?
 * Ezel: He doesn't care about what others think about him, which is definately a plus, but he's another hyper. This time the brainless head-through-the-wall type. Apart from my not liking this kind, we already have an overabundance of them in the series (Natsu probably being the foremost example).
 * Ki-Su: Kinda interesting, but too much of a religious theme.
 * Tempesta: So far too much of a non-entity to really judge, despite being on of only three to really see action.

That leaves Silver, Kyouka and miss unpronouncable first name Seira.

Silver kinda runs in a category of his own for me (and judging from him not being in the vote, probably for Raven too) rather than being a full part of the group.

Kyouka and Seira both have calm demanor, which I like in villains. Kyouka's enhancement magic is a nice story device, but not really something that makes me like her.

And only at this point do the looks matter. Kyouka is ugly, while Seira is elegant and pretty.

Regarding the Ultear Seira matter: There's also her quote "Stories have a proper sequence", which makes her a bit of a polar opposite of someone who manipulates time and thus "messes up the sequence" like Ultear.

If, despite my not wanting it to happen, Ultear does return, I'm sure there will be a fight Ultear vs. Seira.
