My favorite part is the personality. I love it so much that a roleplay not including a personality section in the CS is almost a deal breaker for me.
It is admittedly a pain to write and it can take some of the mystique out of a character but it's such a help when trying to coordinate the roleplay that I can look past the downsides of it.
My least favorite is likes and dislikes. I honestly don't get the point. Is it really that crucial for us to known that your character likes chocolate ice cream and dislikes being beaten to death that we have to be explicitly told about it?
Yeah, it only takes about five seconds to write but it's just so pointless that I feel that even that is too much spent on it.
For example, back when I used to read MHA fan fiction it was more or less a toss-up wether or not Aizawa would be portrayed as a jerk with a heart of gold or a straight-up sociopath.

Personally I think a roleplay where you play canon character needs a personality section on the CS even more than one where you play original characters. After all, two people can have a very different perception of a character (especially if they have little screen time).In regards to Fandom RPs, I think a Personality space in a CS is pointless because folks should already be familiar with what the canon characters are like.
