What character from other media would be a perfect LI in an otome?

Does it ever happen that you see a character who would make a perfect LI if you added a layer of romance to their story? If so, who do you think fits that idea? Feel free to give a brief description of why.

For example, you know Sakura Haruka from Wind Breaker? He seems rude and doesn't trust people for different reasons, but he slowly starts opening his heart and appreciating those around him.

He's cute when he gets shy, with a bit of a tsundere side! He would be a perfect LI!

It'd have to be Yi Sang or Meursault from Limbus Company for me. I think Yi sang fits into the "quiet and sensitive" trope that's been gaining popularity these last few years, but Meursault fits into the older, tried-and-true "strong and silent" trope...

Personally, though, I'd love to see someone more like Heathcliff as an LI (even though theres already a few of those around)
 
NOE FROM THE CASE STUDY OF VANITAS 🤤🤤 SO PRINCELY AND HANDSOME AND SOFTTT UGHHHH

I'm gonna volunteer Dimitri from Fire Emblem: Three Houses because I like angsty routes and morally grey characters. Also I feel like the writers were personally shipping him with the main character, because why are there so many CGs/cutscenes of them holding hands xD

I searched for him, and design-wise he's pretty cool. And yes, morally gray characters are so cool. They can bring interesting development to the character
 
Every male Hoyoverse character, but especially him. He would make a stellar yandere LI and it would be easy to make a story with him - it's practically already in the game 😊

Azuma from the BLVN series Paradise - he is canonically also into women. I just want more normal guys in otome but Azuma is a sort of broken puppy who triggers the maternal instincts in me. He's very cute and pathetic.

Lohen, what I wouldn't do to date him! In general, Genshin's male characters are so dateable. But I share the same opinion. He fits the criteria to be part of an otome as a yandere

Morimens have a lot of fine men, would 100% romance Doresain or Goliath lol

Adding to Limbus, I would like to see someone like Don Quixote as an LI lol. Chuuni knight with some chivalry...
Though, either Don Quixote or Sancho would work for me. And I also love my vampires and amusement park settings,

Outside the sinners, would like to see someone like Jia Qiu as an LI.
