Well almost all anime with multiple women all have its characters with radically different
personality types to appeal to all male viewers/players. So far to the point they are almost
archetypes. You have the Sailor Senshi, Rei/Asuka, Miaka/Yui, the girls and guys of
Marmalade Boy, and of course ST which embodies this so well.
I personally don't identify with any of the ST girls a LOT, but I do like some more than
others.
