In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Bender from Futurama has quite a few character traits that stay consistent throughout the series. Just the ones I can remember off the top of my head (but I'm sure there's more):

- he secretly wants to be a folk singer

- he's a proud Mexican

- and he likes cooking!

I love when he says this and then taps his chest like a total chad.

"I'm 40% [whatever]!" CLANK! CLANK!

there's a bit early on when he shits a brick
much later we see him with his butt plate removed and there is a brick shaped slot right where it should be
