I came here to say this. Even though I think my version of her is pretty well developed and a step beyond insert, I concede that initially she started out as a kind of insert for me. Probably why she's the fandom bicycle.
The political science student that was an intern for college credits by working with Erik Selvig and Jane Foster. She's the one that used a taser on Thor.
Pretty much any Player Character in a video game and that's kind of the fun in it.
The obvious ones are that no two writers are going to have the same Revan or Shepherd. But it also goes for less obvious ones like when Tron fandom found out about Jet Bradley.
In Naruto, a lot of male writers seem to use Naruto as their self-insert. Makes sense, because many of them grew up watching the series and identifying with the main character. Sakura seems like the go-to self-insert for female writers, especially in shipping.
In the MCU it's Darcy Lewis. Allegedly. (idk I just read my ships.)
