I’ve heard that there are basically three factors that make a character like-able: how “nice” of a person they are, competence (or alternatively, proactivity), and sympathy.
Of those, sympathy is the closest to relatability, but you can sympathize with someone who is in a completely different situation than you’ve ever been in. I don’t think relatability is that important to worry about.
