I tend to identify with those I'm very much like, those I can see myself become and those I'm afraid of becoming - which sort of explains how I end up identifying strongly with Hermione and Snape, Buffy, Willow (my life path eerily paralleled hers like whoa, minus the death and supernatural shit) and Angel (later on Spike)... and of course Ianto and Jack.
I identify with the angry and quiet ones. The ones who perceive themselves to be a bit skew, their narrative fits with my own perspective of the world, if I can just shift things a bit, everything will work out...
One of the main reasons I began to read fic in Harry Potter was so Hermione could be with anyone but Ron - which again, very weird parallels, though not in the same eerie way like Willow.
I mainly identify with desires, narrative and physical appearance... shallow, but there you go :P
