However, I prefer the character to be near emotionless because in Naruto, most of their most powerful jutsus are affected by their moods- which means that they are not able to do this when they are not angry? Emotionless characters tend to show more of their potential that way. I also dislike how Hinata is just plain pitiful when it comes to her past. And I hate Sasuke as well.

That sounds similar to me, actually. I like strong-willed, rational emotionless killing machine-type characters that show dedication to something, be it their goals or what they serve, or both. Though actual power levels matter little to me - I prefer it when a character is a master of their particular thing, be it combat or non-combat related.

OT: Hinata isn't my "type" of character obviously, but I can't say I actively dislike her. She lacks development (and, well, let's be honest, so do many others), and I generally am not a big fan of shy characters (on the contrary, I like them to have a bit of arrogance and pridefulness). However, I can respect Hinata's moments of strength - in fact, I think her speech after Neji's death was quite good (and the hand comment was just a momentary thought - I've had moments like these too, so I can't blame her).
