I know it's just an opening post for a more general thread, and I know the OP seems to be leaving these things behind, but I was just thinking how it's funny that we almost have precisely opposite views on our respective Waifus.
/maiwaifu/ is Funami Yui, from Yuru Yuri. the immediate visual effect before all more familiar considerations is the refreshing distance from my native England. no long, red or blonde hair in sight, no blue/green eyes. it gives a feeling like a sigh of relief to be transported from the wet, grey, depressing land full of unpleasant fellow Englishmen, to something without a trace of this crappy rock in the middle of the north sea that birthed me in sight. And as these first few seconds pass, and then later after I'm done with what feels like hours of simply gazing happily at her, some of the details strike me, similar to OP. She's independent, living on her own in a flat (albeit overseen by her relative who owns the apartment complex), she wears sensible, practical and decidedly not very feminine clothing, she enjoys gaming - we get a clear picture of a girl who is liberated from a traditional gender role, in a country where they can often be stifling. but she isn't overly western in this regard either, as she turns to traditional japanese dishes when the girls are modelling with clay in the clubhouse, and consistently demonstrates familiarity with her native culture, poetry, history and language - so she is both non-traditional and non-western. these are the things that make her perfect to me
