I end up gravitating towards main characters that are female, bad ass and strong. They usually have a significant other that is stronger (just by a little bit) or their equal.
They usually are a bit dark, but are a good person.
Bonus points if the story has anything to do with Fae or magic of any kind haha.
But I hate it when one of the couple is a magical being and the other is not, and never becomes one.
I also can't stand helpless female characters. I understand if they are temporarily in need, like injured or sick, but if their whole character's personality is the helpless girl who does not have sense enough to get out of the rain, I just want to shake her and yell at her to get a grip..... I may or may not feel this way about people in real life too. (But just the ones who are purposely over dramatic, not people in actual need)...
