I know what you mean ^-^, I don't think there are any of the characters i disliked after a while, though Shinobu was my fav for a long time (stupid weakness for the sad/shy girl stereotype), even ended up liking Motoko above some of the others, surprising cause I usually hate the Kendo girl/Ice maiden ST's, but after reading and watching the 'dragon palace' episode I couldn't keep up the hate LOL ^-^
