Best Character for a begginer?

Jin or Celica

To add more, Ranga, Hibiki and Lambda are also very beginner friendly. Ragna is probably the most brain dead character to play though, since he's even simpler than how he was in the previous version of the game.

All the ones said above but also Es, and I hear Noel is pretty straightforward too, though she's really weak at the moment.

Well it could be ironic if MC is difficult to use.
Which the resaon they gave us his counter part which is Naoto Kurogane.

The other character would be Mai.

TERUMI or RG or NOEL.. i think

If you want to play with real people and get decent at the game - play the character that you actually like. Depending on how difficult this character is, it might take more or less time to get decent with him. Don't get discouraged if something is hard to learn or implement in the real match, keep trying. As long as you like character's gameplan and his aesthetics, don't drop him, you'll be thanking yourself later for not giving up.

Mai is litterally the easiest character in the game to learn and pick up.

Ragna, Jin, Es are traditional baseline characters and while they all have 'hard' things to learn down the line, you can do well with any of them on a basic level.

Hibiki is also pretty straight forward and light on execution requirements but can be awkward for some players due to the way his buttons are set up (pushing B once does a move, pushing B again does a followup etc).

Celica is a decent beginner choice if you can get past her somewhat awkward-to-use buttons (several are multi-hitting moves depending on you holding the button for the duration, others have funky ranges or hitboxes compared to the above characters). Just avoid relying on her Drive to do everything for you (don't become a D-spam celica).

Tsubaki is the last character I would recommend to a beginner as she has both the characteristics of Hibiki's and Celica's buttons (awkward to use, buttons have followups) plus she has some meter management elements (in addition to the basic super meter).

Other popular suggestions like Noel, Terumi and Azrael I would avoid starting out as, even though their not 'hard' in a combo sense, they have significant character flaws that can be difficult to work around (All characters struggle in the neutral game against decent players) and can build really bad habits in a player (Noel Drive spam, Terumi 6C spam, Azrael gustav spam).

Lastly, if you really want to learn a certain character that no one's suggested thats fine and I'd encourage you to go with that character. Enjoying the character themselves is a great way to keep yourself motivated while learning and any character can teach you how to play (For example, I learned with Izayoi), just be aware that the road to becoming 'decent' may be longer.

I spend some time playing previous version on PS3 so I cannot judge rest of your post (aside from being 99,(9)% sure you are right about Ragna and Jhin.

But part that I quote is just golden.

there's a few you could try:
Ragna, Jin, Noel for the BnB's of the game
Mai, Hibiki, Celica, Es, Bullet, Terumi, etc to gain experience on netcode matches, some of these have a difficulty similar to "easy to learn, hard to master" as most characters and If you like them you'll probably end up getting even better. I'd say try every single character and see how their moves work on training mode, when you find one you feel comfortable with start playing online and its respective challenges.
