Barclay from Star Trek TNG. I didn't know why at the time. I liked him a lot but everyone on the show was very annoyed with him.
Then I grew up and got diagnosed with anxiety and probably autism, which is basically his main character traits. So, yeah. That's why little me liked him.
You youngsters.
Magic Knight Rayearth. Isekai magical girls with dnd fantasy elements and mecha. So, you know, little me's favorite stuff. The princess summoned them because she was too chicken to commit suicide and needed them to pull the trigger.
