A lot of people have given you great answers. I agree with them. For me, I think I'll just give you a simple answer.

I like it when they're human.

Not human as in "species" but human as in a person. I don't want a plot device, an object, a macguffin, a blank, a cut-out, a goal, a thing. I just want a person. That's all.

Thank you. I always hate when they have female that is defined by her relation to a male as if she has to justify her presence. Females exist, you know? You shouldn't need to justify a female character by giving her a crush on someone.

Also using a relationship with a girl (or anyone really) is a no. If I'm going to have a relationship it's not going to end with "protagonist win's the princess's affections. The relationship always goes two ways, and I explore the relationship between two individuals. Also all characters should be people, the friends, the townspeople, the enemies' mooks, the love interest, the parents.

That always makes for better fiction because it often makes conflicts more meaningful than 'person who is obviously right and great' versus 'person who is horrible and wrong and thus disposable'. You know?
