marriage survey results: an analysis
hey! a couple weeks ago, i conducted a survey asking ensemble stars fans which characters they deemed to be the most and least desirable for marriage. the results are available here (most desirable) and here (least desirable). i had lots of fun running the survey and i wanted to do an analysis of all the results and data, so here we are!
character data, such as name, image color, and renders, is provided by makotools. thank you so much!
(psst, i recommend viewing this site on desktop!)

ranking summary
for those who need a recap, here are the top five rankers for each category.
most desirable
least desirable
total results
one thing i wanted to analyze is how many votes each character got between most and least desirable. i wanted to view these results side-by-side to see if there were a stark contrast between a character's most desirable and least desirable vote count. i decided the best way to do this was to create a bar graph that show cased the number of least desirable votes as a negative number and the most desirable votes as a positive number. therefore, the number of least desirable votes will show up on the left side of the graph and the most desirable votes will show up on the right side.
hover over each bar (or tap if you're on a mobile device!) to view more details.
comparing words
there were some words that kept coming up when i was reading through the responses. i wrote some code to analyze where these words occur the most. the units for these charts is based on the number of responses found that contain these phrases.
most desirable occurences
malewife
these are the characters who were referred to as a "malewife" the most often.
phrases i searched for: "malewife", "male wife"
babygirl
these are the characters who were referred to as a "babygirl" the most often.
phrases i searched for: "babygirl", "baby girl", "bbygirl", "bbygrl", "bbg", "bbgorl"
wife & girlfriend
you guys considered these characters to be wife material (so true).
phrases i searched for: " wife", " wife.", " wife,", "girlfriend", " gf "
normalness & stabiltiy
these characters had the most references to being normal when analyzing what makes them desirable.
phrases i searched for: " normal", " stable", " sane", "some guy", "just some guy", "just a guy"
physical appearance
these characters have a strong physical appearance when it comes to the majority of responses.
phrases i searched for: "pretty", "beautiful", "prettier", "attractive", "attracted", " hot", "handsome", "sexy"
least desirable occurences
if you are sensitive to character criticism or seeing your favorite here, i recommend turning back now.
physical unattractiveness
many people have pointed to these characters' unappealing looks for a reason to not marry them.
phrases i searched for: "ugly", "unattractive", "hideous"
clash in sexuality
responders deemed these characters as undesirable due to differences in sexuality.
phrases i searched for: "gay", "lesbian"
no homewrecking!
according to you guys, these characters are already married and are therefore emotionally unavailable.
phrases i searched for: "already married", "homewrecker"
try it yourself
input words or phrases to see which characters have responses that contain those words or phrases.
word cloud
to further analyze the words that appeared the most often in people's responses, i decided to create some word clouds
for each character. the reason why word clouds
is in quotes is because i don't really know how to make a proper word cloud, so i'll only analyze frequency by font size and text color.
