Nobody likes a murderer, for example, but maybe your character's got a strong feeling about bullying? Maybe they dislike voidsent especially because their parents worked as servants at Haukke.
It's not necessarily just cliche, sometimes it's the ripple on the surface of a deep pool.
That's definitely a great avenue to look at it as far as what kinds of dislikes they are and the impact they have on the character. The intensity of the dislike.
Maybe some of them are simple pet-peeves and annoyances.
Or maybe some of them send the person into an absolute fury like trigger words.
Jancis has a great annoyance with being called Child to the point that is really upsets her, or even if she does something she considers to be a childish mistake she will mule over and fume taking out the frustration in probably a brutal training session.
