Favourite Character Archetype?

[Rio_]

Do you have a type of character that you always seem to be drawn to, whether it's in media or when you're creating your own work?

I've noticed a lot of my favourite characters seem to fit the following tropes:

1. "Looks can be deceiving"
aka "looks like they could kill you, is actually a cinnamon roll" or "looks like a cinnamon roll, could actually kill you"

2. "The Woobie"
Because every story needs a punching bag, and I love crying over the suffering of fictional characters

3. "Comedically Narcissistic"
The sort of person that would literally fall in love with themselves. Bonus points if it's revealed to be a defense mechanism for an angsty backstory/deep down self-loathing, for Woobie crossover appeal.

4. "Trash"
I don't know how else to describe them. Just... trash.

And in general I'm drawn to comedic relief characters, characters with very "extra"/over-the-top personalities, and characters with only one brain cell
Of course I love a lot of characters that don't fit any of this, but these seem to be recurring themes for a good number

What about you?

my favorite archetype is the like, the absolute worst person ever. the villain. the *******. the cretin. if your character is insufferable and rude, there's a huge chance I'll love them.

on the flipside, I am never immune to the emotionally repressed. if that dude has pent-up trauma and emotions, boy howdy, I love him. just the soppiest, wettest, loneliest, saddest little pathetic guy.
