Who is the writer's favorite character? Phoebe

I have never quite understood the purpose of Phoebe's character setting. In general, soap operas always have to be in pairs, especially comedies. At most one Zoe will appear to tell everyone that the man with the heart is always alone. Lonely flower-hearted men will make people secretly happy, but lonely flower-hearted women are easy to sigh and disdain, which is not suitable for happy comedy.
Other writers don't understand either. The role of Phoebe is like a plate of Chinese dishes in Western food, or a Western dish in Chinese food, which is not easy to imitate. So the two women and three men in the very similar "My Mom and Dad" officially removed Phoebe; the very similar "Love Apartment" also came in pairs, and finally a Japanese friend was added, more like "Old Man" My Parents Romance" pattern.
But the writer's favorite character is...Phoebe! After watching the episode Saba Saba, I was surprised to find that Phoebe is the one who has continued to move forward, grow, and have no twists and turns in the past ten years. Chandler deserves more compliments, but minus his increasingly naughty, strict wife and ubiquitous Janice (God, the last episode finally got over Janice).
But Phoebe, she got a marriage full of love that was no worse than Monica, and a wedding that was much better than Monica.
Phoebe is a wonderful mixture of contradictions. She had a teenage time as a little sister and decided to become a music lover with a normal career. She is obsessed with music, confident and talented, but not jealous, she adores Ross, and doesn't care about being a shadow singer on the record. She's vegetarian, but also eats meat for Mike's sake and vomits in his locker room. She would dress like a lady for Mike's wealth and go "mad" with Mike. She is an environmentalist, and will give up her lofty ideals for the beauty of the upper body of the fur, and when she can't stand it, she can throw the leather coat away. She is kind and selfish, and even if a sum of money is donated, she will go to get it back. She has all kinds of principles, but it doesn't hinder her casualness. Just like her running posture, she doesn't need so much scruples and seriousness in life.
Phoebe is not for a serious wedding. How much the screenwriter favored her and gave her a snowstorm in New York.
She even helped Mike solve the split problem without Mike saying "we were on a break"! If it wasn't for ten years of screenwriting fees, don't be as confused as Ross and Rachel.
