When creators or developers show blatant favoritism toward one character in a multi-character series, constantly giving them new content, storylines, or screen time—while ignoring everyone else in the cast.
Usually starts small, but before long, the “favorite child” becomes the face of the whole franchise. It’s like when the devs clearly have a crush on their own creation.
The term comes from Kiriko in Overwatch 2, who’s gotten endless skins, emotes since launch, and out of place lore tie-ins—while half the roster hasn’t been mentioned in years.
