Easily it can. I have three favorites...all of which I pretty much like the same
Hinata is probably my favorite living character, and my longest favorite:
I share her kind, sweet, and caring personality (well instead of sweet I guess more like being gentleman). I do what I can to help those around me, and I am also shy around the ones I like....though I don't go and pass out! I am willing to put myself in danger to protect the ones I love.
Kakuzu is another favorite:
He sort of represents my view of other people to a degree. Like Kakuzu I don't underestimate the ability of others whether it be in a fight or at a job. Also, I like history which Kakuzu has lived through a lot of. He also wears a mask which I love lol....he also was unique in using every element so I liked how from a strategical view, he could plausibly counter practically anyone element wise.
Third favorite is Han:
Looks.....he looks amazing. He rocks the Kasa on his head which is always indication of someone epic. He also has that advance steam armor representing a samurai like appearance of honor. Also we see in conversation he is actually polite, a trait I have. Also, his unique steam attacks are sweet: Falcon Kick (see Sig)! Like Kakuzu he sort of covers his face
