Clay Jensen (13 Reasons Why)
Clay becomes a target of bullying as he seeks answers and grapples with the truth about their shared past. Clay is kind but, at times, very awkward. He is everything that a teenager appears to be, which is why so many fans of the show seem to identify with him and root for him.
Tyrion Lannister (Game of Thrones)
Tyrion’s dwarfism exposes him to ridicule and cruelty from his family and society. However, his wit and wisdom make him a fan favorite on the series.

Steve Harrington (Stranger Things)
Initially, Steve was the stereotypical popular jock, and fans did not like him! Many fans have even said early on in season 1 that they hoped he “was next.” However, Steve’s transformation into a caring protector doesn’t shield him from mockery, yet he evolves into a beloved character who defies expectations.
Rajesh Koothrappali (The Big Bang Theory)
Raj’s selective mutism and quirky personality sometimes make him an easy target for jokes among his friends, highlighting the challenges of social interactions. A fan said of Raj that he is the “nerd” that exists in all of us.
Chandler Bing (Friends)
Chandler’s self-deprecating humor masks his insecurities, stemming from a childhood marked by his parents’ dysfunctional relationship, which becomes a source of teasing. Fans easily identify with him because of his parent’s divorce, which was obviously sensationalized because it was done over Thanksgiving dinner. Still, there’s a little Chandler Bing in all children from divorced parents.
Raven Reyes (The 100)
Gifted with a brilliant mind and resourcefulness, Raven faces adversity and ridicule due to physical injuries and the complexities of surviving in a post-apocalyptic world. She is a fan favorite because she is a main character who is living with a disability and chronic pain but still manages to be “a badass,” said one fan.
Willow Rosenberg (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
A shy and bookish witch, Willow’s journey involves battling her own self-doubt alongside supernatural threats, highlighting her resilience. Fans can’t seem to get enough of Willow for her confidence and the “glow-up” she has a strong witch.
