- characters who break bad stereotypes in a good way are very memorable, because they not only validate some people but they’re generally just very good, you know, yeah
- characters who react to seemingly little choices you make are also very cool. not only do they make the story seem real, but you get to know more about them when they react, which makes them more real.
- characters that take a lot of wooing to get romanced! i just hate it when it’s very easy to get this guy to date you or get this girl to randomly kiss you–it’s just very, very unrealistic, you know, yes. i mean, sure, maybe they had a crush on the MC since the beginning, but it still takes a whole lot more, i guess
- characters who bicker with other characters over small things are precious like not only do they make everything realer, but it’s really fun to hear their opinions? really fun
kevin has a favorite eheh
- there are those characters with miserable backstories who end up a little too cocky and self-centered for their own good–those are my favorite. i guess i just enjoy the psych behind it? a lot of stories attempt this personality and sadly i only know a few where it’s properly executed :0
