I joined this site about a year or two ago so I'm still getting the hang of it, but I've been enjoying it so far. I must admit, it is very addictive.

Characters
- Amy Rose from Sonic the Hedgehog. note I love Amy because she's kind and understanding. Yes, she can be stalker-ish towards Sonic at times, but people tend to overlook her kind moments (like when she helped Shadow turn to the good side with her Patrick Stewart Speech, or defended her robot friend, E-102 Gamma). The girl gets way too much hate.
- Beatrice from Umineko: When They Cry
- Big the Catnote Big is a fairly simple character but that's why I like him so much. In a franchise like Sonic that is full of characters with attitude, powers, and abilities, Big stands out for being a completely ordinary and chill guy. His friendship with Amy and Cream is really sweet, too.
- Cream the Rabbit. note Cream is a soft-spoken, and adorable rabbit. She's a pacifist and prefers not to fight, but will do so if those she cares about are in danger. I also like how Amy and Cream's sisterly bond reflects Sonic and Tails' brotherly bond.
- Dolce from Rune Factory 4
- Kaede Akamatsu & Miu Iruma from Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony
- Kuranosuke Koibuchi from Princess Jellyfish note Kuranosuke is a flamboyant, kind person. He's a crossdresser, but this isn't framed as a thing that makes him "weird". It's just something he enjoys doing. And despite crossdressing, he's actually straight. It's an interesting subversion because it shows that the clothes someone wears does not dictate their sexuality.
- NiGHTS from NiGHTS into Dreams… note I love their playful, yet elegant nature. I find their design beautiful and a bit uncanny, but in a Creepy Cute way.
- Princess Elise III from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).note This one's a real shocker...well, I've got some explaining to do. As you may know, Elise is without a doubt the most hated character in the Sonic franchise. However, I find the hatedom for her to be really excessive. Her worst crime is just being bland and getting kidnapped a lot (which is not a fault of her character, but the plot). I liked her character arc where Sonic teaches her to open up and she starts to feel genuine happiness. Then there's the scene near the end where Elise has to blow out the Flame of Disaster to erase the timeline and she says she doesn't care about the world. People use this moment to claim Elise is selfish, but that is far from the truth. It was an emotional outburst and she obviously didn't mean it. She's a teenager that lost her mother and father as a child, had to bottle up her emotions for a decade, had to rule an entire kingdom at 17, and now her Only Friend is going to be erased from her memory. Any amount of happiness she had was taken from her. Just for a single moment, she has breaks down...and then she blows out the candle immediately afterwards. In the end, Elise knew what had to be done for her people and the world despite her sadness. I find that moment of weakness very human. The kiss scene also isn't an earth-shatteringly disgusting moment to me. It was just a kiss obscured by a light. Plus, Sonic isn't a literal animal, but a cartoonish anthropomorphic one that talks, feels, and behaves like a regular human. If he was small, walked on all fours, and didn't speak, then there would be a problem. Overall, I just feel sorry for Elise. She doesn't deserve the hate! <3
- Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog.
- Satoko Hojo & Rika Furude from Higurashi: When They Cry
- Satsuki Iranami from Danganronpa Another ~ Another Despair Academy ~note Satsuki is a clown, both literally and figuratively. I like how she subverts the Monster Clown trope that's often used today. She's genuinely just a nice clown that wants to make her friends smile. Her sacrifice was also the best part of the game for me and made me love her even more.
- Sora from Super Danganronpa Another 2
