I've heard the discussion about "what is moe" many times, and every time I hear people saying that different characters are moe. The character pictured fits the most default definition of moe, however, like >>125079
points out, some consider completely different personalities moe.
In a "what is moe" conversation I heard long ago, someone put it, I think, as accurately as possible, which I'll reiterate here. Moe describes an archetypical set of traits for which the observer (the one who considers it moe) feels true love (not pure lust, although lust usually follows) for the person / character. I should emphasize that the trait set must be archetypical, so a "plane jane" person / character could not be considered moe, even if you loved them to death, unless you specifically loved them BECAUSE they were plain. In other words, Chihiro or Rachel Handelbarz couldn't be called moe, even if they are cute and likable.
Thus, moe is subjective. Some people probably find Kagura moe, while I don't. But she is a very archetypical character, the stereotypical sporty tomgirl.
Some people find Osaka moe for her vulnerability, which is one of the major traits of what is most commonly considered moe (and may or may not have been the "original" definition of moe.) As I heard one person say, while some characters need protecting from a giant monster, Osaka needs help just to keep from walking into walls. I personally consider her the most moe of the Azu girls. But out of all real people and fictional characters, the one I find most moe is >>125079
