Is it possible to fall in love with a fictional character?

Despite being an adult who DOES develop crushes on real people (rarely) and does also have passing crushes on a LOT of fictional characters (which usually consists of me idealizing them and then just being a chill fan of them once the idealization wears off); something has been making me confused a bit lately.

There has been one fictional character I've had a crush on for almost 3 years. I have already gone through my idealization phase for them; and no longer see them with rose glasses.... yet I still like this character a lot.

Yet even with real crushes, they usually pass after like a short while.

My question to you is this: HAVE YOU EVER FALLEN FOR A FICTIONAL CHARACTER BEFORE?
2) WHAT MADE YOU FALL FOR THEM?
3) WILL IT WEAR OFF EVENTUALLY?

Thanks for reading, have a splendid day!!!(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
