Consider most of the people playing this game. Here's a timid, submissive, shy girl rejected by almost everyone she knows. Just like them! But she's also their dream of a hot Japanese/anime babe, plus she's DAMAGED, see, so they can gallop in on their charger and claim to understand her and she'll be so happy to have someone finally open up to her that they'll totally make out on the spot.
Please don't generalize us like that. I found this very offensive, and if it wasn't for getting banned I would let you know in no uncertain terms just how offensive. I don't like her because she is damaged. I like her because she is shy and quiet. I like those types in general, and the fact that it is because she is damaged has nothing to do with it. My last girlfriend was the quiet, shy type but she wasn't damaged at all. She had a good home life and had nothing to complain about.
The reason I like Hanako is because she eventually gets over that extreme social aversion. If she never did, I would have been quite turned off to her. I wouldn't be a white knight for her because I wouldn't want anyone to take on that role for me. Id be there for her if she comes to me for the help. I wouldn't just force it on her, assuming that she needs it.
THat said, I got attached to pretty much all of them, aside from Shizune. Hanako, Lilly, Rin, and Emi.
I found Emi endearing because she is so upbeat and bright, something that I wish I could be. She pushes people to move forward and not just give up. Also she is physically what I look for. Petite all around, much like my last girlfriend.
Lilly is beautiful and just as confident as Emi is, however its a quiet confidence. I think just being around her would be reassuring. She also hates it when people are afraid to be who they are, or apologizing for things they cant change. She tells Hisao a number of times to stop apologizing for his heart condition. However unlike others, I think her Healthy Adolescent Sex Drive would turn me off. Even though Im stil a vrigin, Ive got a very strong opinion of what making love should be, and it isnt having sex just to have sex.
RIn, while not physically much my type, I do like her personality. She is complicated which is a bit much for me, however she has got the attitude where she isnt afraid to be herself. It matters not to her what you think of her and she takes the time to notice the small things in life that may others are far to busy to concern themselves with.
