Lol thanks @ForrestFuller for considering my suggestion.
My oshimen wasn't actually gonna top my list in this anyway haha.
My no. 1 is really who I think is no. 1 in this area haha.

Also, this is a topic that suits me a lot haha because I love watching idols in varieties, and this is an area that really peaks my interest in an idol and cause me to really like them etc.

*Everyone I listed in top 10 and honorable mentions are the people can think of from the top of my head that I enjoy watching for their charas. There are other strong charas in 48 like Paruru's salty chara, but it's a chara that doesn't appeal to me, so well...I don't consider it as best haha.

----------------------------------------------------------
Paruru's Idol Character is #1 and her Saltyness Character is a very popular. It's New, It's something you never seen before and something you will never see again. Pretty much can't do this character with anybody else because Paruru made this character and it just wouldn't seem right to have this type of Idol Character on anybody else.

Mayuyu was #2 and it was no surprise that Mayuyu and Paruru were 1-2 on this list. Their Idol character have help make them what they are today. Even now that they are in their 20s (and Mayuyu's doesn't really have the CG Idol Character anymore). They have shown that they are good seniors as well.

Anyways, Now onto Episode 66 Voting.
