I'll go first. This will shock you, but my one true love of the series is Nono Kurusu.

To me, Nono represents a total package. I think she's physically beautiful, and she also embodies all the qualities I think a woman ought to.
Her love and devotion to her family is one such quality. Even from the moment she's introduced, it's clear that Nono cares deeply for Takuru. He's moved out on his own, and she's fearful that he's not taking good care of himself. I know some people find the nagging annoying, but I've come to recognize in life that there's more than one kind of nagging, and Nono's is the sort from someone that loves and cares about you, and wants what's best for you. It might be what SHE thinks is best, but the good intentions are still there. I've been nagged by plenty of women in my life that had no such good intentions.
Nono also loves being in the home and taking care of it. The fact that it's enjoyable to her is not something to be understated. That's an exceptional quality among females today, and it should be commended when it's exemplified. She's an excellent cook, good with money (perhaps too frugal, but better than the opposite), and watches over her younger siblings not unlike an actual mother would. Not to use a diddy line, but she's very mature for her age.
I appreciate her flaws as well, like her short temper and the fact that she's got a petty side (see her route for her thoughts on Mio). Her commitment to trying to keep Takuru out of harm's way, despite his foolish decisions throughout the course of the story, is something that (slight implied C;C Spoiler)

hits so very hard in Chapter 9. I will never forget that scene.
I have no doubt that her and Takuru's children will be titans among their peers. And yes, WILL. It's happening. Trust.
Addendum (Major C;C spoiler. Do not click if you have not completed the entire game):
Spoiler
all of this, of course, also applies to Senri, who i view as the exact same character as Nono, aside from being a little bit meeker thanks to taking on her true appearance. I prefer Nono's body of course, but the soul is the same.
