Well, that's just my own personal way of doing it, but... Try to put yourself as the character?
Like, whenever you were a child and fantasized about being a superhero or whatever, get the powers you wanted the most and put them all on the character? And make it have your personality? Self-insertion is an easy way of attaching yourself to the character.
Hikari started like that, the Magical Girl of Love and Justice that I always wished to be... She just reacted to things the way I would, and things developed naturally from that point on.
