Which anime character once fascinated you?

Woody Sakura Magic Cary's Woody Sakura and Wing Chronicle's Woody Sakura, Fate Lee's Saber and Sakura, Cranard's Zhu. One is the fantasy of childhood first love, the other is the resistance to reality and the empathy for the characters ravaged by reality, and finally the beautiful vision and hope that we must persist even in the face of the cruelty of reality.
