If it's to be a character from S1, I vote Kenny. (pleasepleaseplease...) But if it HAS to be a character from the DLC, my pick's Bonnie, just because she came across as the most sympathetic of the new cast to me, at least in my playthrough.

I kinda hope that it's a new character from the community - but I think there's a good chance that it could be Bonnie, seeing as how she seems to be the only character who always goes with Tavia, no matter what choices are made during her part of the story.
I only think it makes sense for it to be either Tavia or a new character from Tavia's community. I think the prologue was supposed to serve as an introduction/backstory for all of these characters who you may encounter/befriend in season 2, but none of them struck me as main protagonist-worthy.
I think it would be cool to run into Season 1 characters (I think we definitely do need to see Clem at some point), but I absolutely do not want to play as any of them. Kenny should be dead, Lilly is kind of insufferable, Molly is too unrealistic and quippy... she's basically a teenage ninja. It might actually be cool to play as Christa AND Omid, now that I think about it, but I would much prefer that we play as a new character.
It actually makes some sense for the player character to be Tavia, as she's the character we know the least about, the most amiable, and she goes to her community regardless of what you do during her segment (duh).

I agree with all of your points, except Kenny. Why do you feel he should be dead? There was an earlier poll in this forum that was asking people's opinions about Kenny's fate, and the majority of the votes settled on "could have gone either way". Do you feel Kenny should be deceased/turned into a walker because you disliked him personally? Just so you know, a lot of other fans feel the same way, and that's fine.

Tavia might be the most obvious choice, but she's also the most boring, IMO. I know it's unfair to pass judgement on a character we only met for five minutes tops, but everything about her just seems to scream dull. I can't put my finger on it.

I actually did like Kenny (he was kind of a jerk in my playthrough, but it was always because he was looking out for his family), I just think it's extremely unlikely for him to have gotten out of his final predicament. If memory serves, he was completely surrounded by walkers and he didn't have much ammunition left to fight them off. Besides, his entire family's dead and he was extremely depressed about it. What would he have to live for at this point? I think it's a really valiant ending for Kenny if his story ends when he sacrifices himself for the good of Lee and Clementine.

I think they ended up making her kind of a blank slate with no backstory/not much personality because her role/the "community" need to be left ambiguous. But I would definitely lean towards the player character being someone we haven't even seen yet instead of anyone else.
