Useless Discussion: Bold vs. Italics

I noticed as I was writing the other day that I tend to use both italics and bold for emphasis in my stories and I never stop to question which one to use at a certain moment, I just know which one I want. Which made me wonder how other people show their emphasis and in what cases they would use italics over bold or vice versa. This is the sort of thing I come up with when I'm lying in bed with a persistent migraine, people.

Name any story I've written, and any character in them, canon or OC. I'll tell you three things about that character which I didn't put in the story.

ETA: Feel free to ask for more than one character.
