What are your favorite character design tropes?

Reasonably muscled characters.

By that, I mean characters whose muscle definition matches their occupation and/or exercise routine. Bonus if they're seen working out or doing the activity that warrants said definition and creators are knowledgeable about different types of muscular builds as reflected in their characters' respective designs. Kinda tired of seeing Bishonen characters with abs, even though it's later revealed they do little to no exercise whatsoever, and it's there for ✨aesthetic✨.

Also, silver/white/gray-haired dark-skinned characters are automatic favorites in my book. Mainly because of how much time I've spent developing Elio over the past couple of years. 😊
