There’s a principle for novelists that protagonists should be “marked” in some way. (A scar, missing finger, bizarrely tall or short, etc.) It gives the reader something to visualize, a way to categorize that character in her head and make the character real. I think it works with marketing personas, too. If there’s nothing weird, or at least unusual, to grab onto, it’s hard for folks to make a strong connection.
