I accidentally found this thread when watching for and old page of the manga discussion thread on google xD. So, to give a good vote i try to reverse time and remeber my fgirst impression of S1, so here we goes.
Nanoha Takamachi - Pretty obvious, without her there was no series, anyone already said and it's true, she's a strog yet very caring girl who's ready to help someone in problems and at the same time totally willing to make friends with everyone(and no, i'm not referring to her "befriending" techniques). I like her a bit more than her grown self from StrikerS onwards because she's more humble.(don't get me wrong, StrikerS Nanoha is made of awesome but i feel her character more pretentious and prepotent, much less cheerful or happy).
Yuuno Scrya - I know, i know ...i'm talking about my first impression right? The kid is an archeologist at age 9-10, he gets in trouble and desperately ask for anyone who can hear his call for help and that person results to be Nanoha, at first i thinked of him as an irresponsible, walking plot device to give Nanoha her powers but shortly he demonstrates geniune care for the fact he just involved an infant into the conflict, trying to solve things on his own and involve innocents as less as possible, when Nanoha stays as a Mage he then gives her his full support through the rest of the season guiding her in the ways of magic and saving her from danger(his short brawls with Arf are quite impressive), upon revealing his true form some obvious teasing ensues, but it's innocent and comical so i'm pretty much okay with it, nothing happens between them at the end of the season but he remains as a good friend and a valuable ally, i always going to miss the days when Yuuno get along with the cast i felt he had well chemistry with all of them.
Chrno Harllown - Season One Chrono is made of WIN! when Nanoha is a novice mage and Fate a heavy trained undergrond mage, Chrono shows us what a full fledged TSAB officer can do, right from his debut he's able to stop both main heroines cold, it's shortly after revealed that he's in fact weaker than both of them but he rapidly answers and demonstrates that skill and brains can overtake power if well used, it also have a funny "unfunny" side xD, cracking bad jokes or discussing with his more childish compannions, or teasing Yuuno xD! ...it's a bit sad he won't get more developement beyond A's, it's a pretty cool character.
Arisa Bannings - Last but not least, and definetly my absolute favourite among the support cast of the entire franchise, Arisa Bannings is a pretty pretentious and stubborn girl wich hides a kind and responsible heart(as she demonstrates when Nanoha hides her Mahou Shoujo problems from her, Arisa acts rude but is very worried for her friend wich Suzuka correctly points out). The little tomboyish traits coupled with her funny way of handling things(and her love for puppyes x3) makes almost impossible to not give her attention when she appears onscreen, her mixture of flaws and virtues really catch to me as she's an easy likeable character, not much to say really, except that it's a bit sad she doesen't appear past A's.
I'll wait for the A's poll when things are gonna get interesting xD.
