Well, people don't identify with a character in his/her entirety, It's more like...you understand something about them on a personal level because you've been there before and have thought the exact things they are shown thinking and have made choices with rationales that they have made with the same rationales. That kind of thing. It's more like recognizing parts of yourself in a character in a very familiar way.

All fictional characters obviously have some element of this, otherwise they'd be incomprehensible and inhuman and unable to relate to or understand, but people say they identify with a character when this recognition is particularly specific or deep. Basically, if a character is talking about something personal and fundamental about themselves and you can go "I know exactly what that feels like" from your own personal experience, you may be able to say you identify with that character. You may not, because other aspects of the character may be completely different from your own life and personality, but you might.
