One way for the OC to stand out is through their backstory. If they have a tragic or mysterious past that is slowly revealed, it will pique the interest of Rias and the other harem members. They could also have a different cultural or ethnic background compared to the rest, which would bring in new traditions and ways of thinking. For instance, if the OC is from a long - forgotten clan with ancient magic techniques, it would be very interesting. Additionally, their sense of humor could be different, making them the one who always brings a fresh perspective during interactions within the harem.
The OC can stand out by having a distinct personality. For example, if most of the harem members are more on the outgoing and aggressive side, the OC could be calm and collected. Their different approach to situations would make them noticeable. Also, having a unique power or ability that no one else in the harem has would definitely set them apart.
The OC could stand out by being an expert in an area that the harem lacks knowledge in. Say, the OC is a master of ancient languages and can decipher old texts that hold valuable information for the harem's activities. Or they could be an exceptional strategist, able to come up with battle plans that are far more effective than what the harem usually devises. Their physical appearance could also be distinct, not in a clichéd way but in a way that reflects their unique character. For example, they might have a unique hair color or style that is associated with their special abilities or their origin story.
