I liked Kuu in the beginning when she fantasized and wrote letters to her prince. Her sparkle vision was awesome, and she actually thought about other people. In the second half she became really self-centered and kind of pathetic. Occasionally, I got the retarded moe vibe, which I despise with a passion.
Setsuna was much more selfless, and her situation seemed more tragic, so it was easier for me to sympathize with her.
Of course, this is just my opinion. I'm sure others have different reasons.
On another note, these figurines are kinda cute. They don't seem to be super high quality though.
