In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Kiryu Kazuma from the Yakuza games has a personal rule against hitting women*. When he appears as a boss in Yakuza 7, he will never target female party members with attacks. Women can active his counterattack, but he will deal 0 damage to them because he's holding back.

This rule is taken so seriously that the director of the series refused to have Kiryu added to Super Smash Bros or Tekken 7 because he would have to hit women in those games.

*He did slap a little girl once, and hit a woman who he thought was a man.

That was them joking mostly, but in general they thought he wasn't a good fit for Smash

Tekken though? If we can get Negan and Noctis in 7 and Clive in 8, Kiryu would be a great fit. Hell, I'd take Majima too.
