Re: Are your favorite characters usually the characters you relate to most? yes

yes, or the ones I want to be/could be.

For example ACD Watson is not my fav, because I couldn't possibly be that patient and good-humored. Holmes is my fav, because in my headcanon he suffers from noticing the bad and the ugly in the world due to his skills. Also he's arrogant, theatrical, moody. I identify with all that, so he's my fav. I can read a fic about him with anybody or gen.

Then take Lestrade from Sherlock. He's caring, gets tired at work, so I identify with him somewhat and I read about him in Mystrade. Then take Mycroft, I identify with him when he's shown to be caring or insecure and I'd read some h/c. So I'd read fics exploring these themes, but I wouldn't read a fic about Mycroft or Lestrade just because they are In Character. However I would read a fic with IC(-ish) ACD!Holmes, because I identify more strongly with him.

Basically I see a character, see something that resonates with me and then love this character.
