Hanako & Rin. Although I like all five of the girls equally, these two are my favorites, both potential-wise and literally, because, while each girl has qualities I possess, Hanako & Rin embody the sort of persona I use most often. (And no, not the video game type of persona.)
Hanako: putting her walking moe-ness aside, she is basically the one I act the most like: Shy, quiet, etc. The potential for her, to me, is watching her come out of her shell, make little sly remarks with Hisao, general acceptance of her image, and all that jazz. Hanako's turning point, of course, would be with her father; her dealing with him and the fact he's gone, learning to separate the memory of his death with her burns, turning those burns into some heartfelt meaning for his sacrifice, etc. That, and tears will be involved. When done right, it hits me right in the HNNNGGGGG-maker.
Rin: her out-there personality is the sort of thing I indulge in every so often. I tend to think odd things, reach deep philosophical conclusions (promptly forgetting them when I don't write them down), and have engaging conversations with myself, which are usually more interesting than talking with some people I know. The potential for Rin, to me, is seeing how Hisao deals with such conversations, how she may begin to rely on him when Emi goes off in some plot-related event, and how she may become a bit more grounded, thanks to Hisao. The turning-point for Rin, in my mind, is a bit harder to think of: it can either be the scenario in which she has to rely on Hisao more-so than she did with Emi, and she begins to get annoyed/break from it, or she runs into someone so abstract that she "just doesn't know" anymore; but Hisao pulls her out of the depression in either situation. (Honestly, I'd prefer the former. It's easier to write about.)
Remember, folks:
I'm watching you.
