We made miis of all the King of the Hill characters. Yeah, I dunno.
I didn't realize they would populate the games. Yesterday my roommate and my friend in Chicago were tossing me hula hoops. It was bizarre. Now I can't decide if I want to make all my friends or delete them all.
We also made our dog.
When he hops up and down in the background at the bowling alley...it is to laugh!
You can make pets? ooh! how did I miss this feature?
Hee. No, you can't. We just made a person that looks as much as possible like our dog.
Yeah, it's stupid. But fun!
hee! I love it.

My friends and I have a long tradition of making each other (as well as each other's memorable table-top RPG characters) in any games with create-a-character features. It used be assorted wrestling games, but lately it's been the Soul Calibur series.
So I'd say no.
Of course, considering I make people I know into characters and have them fight each other, I'm probably not the best judge of such things.
I've gone crazy and have started making my exes and giving them snarky names (e.g. Rain Cloud) but I cannot recall the hair of a guy I dated in high school. I know I ran my fingers through it but I can't remember it at all. Other parts of him are quite clear- I have utterly lost his hair. Oh well, I know it was short and brown.
I have to say that I'm kind of surprised that all my friends on Xbox have avatars that more or less look like themselves. Well, Sox may be the one exception, but even she's not too far off. Not a tall male monster or anything.
ETA: (Hi Sox!)
Even Mal recognizes our friends by their (incredibly mii-looking) Xbox avs "Hey Mom, there's Michael! He's sleeping!"
