I identify most with aspects of fictional characters personalities that correspond to either A) my personality; or, B) personality traits I wish to have/assimilate.
I also strongly identify with characters whose baggage matches mine at an archetype level: for example, I strongly identify with Buffy Summer's inability to show/feel strong emotions in the presence of other people due to 'having to be strong' even though the narrative that led me to that head space is very different than the one that led her there.
