Im not going to send you a character. Ill ask you instead to pick two for yourself under certain criteria.
1) A character that you were inatantly drawn to on your first watch. The character that ultimately and initially became your favourite.
2) A character grew on you over time and over several reruns of the movie(s). Also please tell me why this occured. It fascinates me.

Im so sorry I cannot remember what they were! I just wrote down the numbers. Love your blog!
Alrighty! This is gonna be fun, also I love this request- thank you so much honestly (つ≧▽≦)つ
Characters I have chosen (it's 3, I couldn't decide on the first criteria, so this is gonna be quite a long post):
For the first criteria we have Strip 'The King' Weathers and Finn McMissile
And for the second criteria we have Francesco Bernoulli.
-> When I first watched the second movie of the Cars-Trilogy I mainly focused on the whole espionage thing that was going on, and less on the World Grand Prix racing. Therefore I didn't pay much attention to the other racers individually. And at first I did not like Francesco at all. He reminded me too much of Lightning, when Lightning was a rookie and I didn't like that. Bernoulli gave me, as mentioned, similar vibes as rookie Lightning, the vibes of the whole 'being a one-man-kind of show' thing. Francesco came across as a cocky, flirtatious, over confident character with a high ego. (At least for me ಥ‿ಥ)
But after I rewatched the movie several times, I started to like him more. (Well and maybe some fanfictions had their influence as well-) I began to think more about him, about his way on and off the track, his relations and so on. I saw that, despite his seemingly high ego, he is indeed a kind soul. For example how he seems to like the fact that his mother is his 'biggest/greatest' fan, and he is open about that too. I have a feeling some other racers would be embarrassed to see their family members, especially their mother, cheering for them. But he doesn't mind it. (Alright- this turned out longer than expected-) ⊂((・▽・))⊃
NOW- let's get going with the rest of your 'Character Asks' request (つ≧▽≦)つ
I am gonna go in the following order for each number: Strip Weathers, Finn McMissile, Francesco Bernoulli
1) My first impression of them
-> A racer with great potential, that is also blue and works for an agency with a Dino as a logo. (≧▽≦)
-> Uiii cool looking, normal, spy guy. Actually, scratch that- a wild traumatized appeared (Pokemon reference intended)
-> Rookie Lightning McQueen but make him Italian and take away his fenders
2) When I think I truly started to like them
-> When he told off Lightning at the beginning of Cars 1. No elaboration.
-> Right at the start of Cars 2, due to the whole entire chasing scene.
-> After rerunning the movie several times, and fanfiction-
3) A Song that reminds me of them
-> 'Gossip' by Måneskin
-> 'Set it off' by Skillet
-> 'Iconic' by Simple Plan
10) Describe the character in one sentence
-> Silly country boi that loves racing and his wife (and sponsor.) ⊂(・▽・⊂)
-> Bisexual- I am sorry- British secret spy agent with trauma.
-> Italian racer that is shamelessly flirting (and in love) with McQueen
12) Sexuality hc!
-> Bisexual or Unlabeled (already mentioned in another ask)
-> Gay- Bisexual ʘ‿ʘ
-> *clap clap, finger guns* Pan. (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞
13) Your favorite friendship they have
-> Him and Tex/Him and Junior
-> Him and Tomber
-> Him and McQueen
16) A childhood headcanon
-> Never liked playing/interacting with other kids
-> Grew up somewhere in Germany
-> Used to steal- eh I mean borrow, Mama Bernoulli's cosmetics
18) How do you think they were as a kid?
-> Shy and reserved, didn't know how to connect with others around him
-> Bubbly and happy, always in action, until some trauma happens (Explanation in 22)
-> Outgoing and enthusiastic, loved to brag about Mama Bernoulli's delicious food (he still does that)
20) A weird headcanon
-> Had a goth/punk phase as a teen. ( ╹▽╹ )
-> Once needed to plan a wedding for a Spy-Mission, as part of a cover
-> He knows how to knit and sew. (≧▽≦) Mama taught him ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
21) When do you think they were at their happiest?
-> Whenever he is/was on the track or with Lynda/Tex, and later on whenever Cal or Junior are around, oh and when he met Doc Hudson (つ≧▽≦)つ
-> Training Academy with Leland and when he was/is with Mater/Holley and or Tomber
-> Also while racing, around his fellow racers (The other WGP racers), and of course when he is with his Mama
22) When do you think they were at their lowest?
-> When he crashed at the Tiebreaker race, and during middle school
-> After his mother's death, and later when Leland passed
-> After a harsh break up, and unlucky for him, his Mama was very ill at the same time too (she got better of course)
24) What do you think is a secret they have that they never told anyone
-> He once wanted to commit. (I'm sorry, I'm dumping so much trauma on the poor guy) Never told anyone. Not even his parents found out. Not even Lynda or Tex know, he keeps that secret to himself and he will take it with him into his grave.
-> He will never tell anyone, how exactly his mother passed, only he knows the real reason and he is gonna keep it that way
-> He used to eat flowers when he was bored, and occasionally he still does that. Of course he isn't gonna tell anyone, his Mama doesn't know either
25) When do you think they acted the most ooc?
-> When he met Doc for the first time and was alone with him. I don't know what kind of hyperfixation suddenly hit him, but he suddenly became all excited and bubbly. I mean his Idol was in front of him. (I am sorry I couldn't think of any movie scene that seemed ooc for him)
-> That one scene in Cars 2 in Japan, where he fought with some of the lemons. There is this one scene, one split second, where he was shocked to suddenly be rammed
-> Also in Japan, during the race on the dirt part of the track. We all know he lost his momentum there due to not knowing how to properly drive in dirt. That was the one moment his self-confidence/his ego took damage.
26) When do you think they were being 'themselves' the most?
-> Honestly, on the track, with Lynda and Tex, with other friends, with his nephew and so on
-> Around Leland/Tomber, and with Mater/(Holley)
-> With his fellow WGP racers, especially with Lightning
AND DONE ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
This was fun to write, took me about an hour plus and I loved it! (つ≧▽≦)つ
Thank you so much for this, it really got me into my thoughts and just- thank you! (≧▽≦)
