Would a teacher kindly help with this?

Could a English speaker or teacher please tell me how to say the following sentences?

I like Samantha's eyes but everything else more of Emma. Emma has a nicer smile, personality, body.

A wife asks her husband:
What would you want our daughter to have of me? [how would you say this?]
Would you want her to have my nose ,eyes?

How would you ask
What [feature] would you want our daughter to have of me?

What would you like her to inherit from him? His eyes?

Thank you

We presumably are comparing two children, Samantha and Emma. It sounds from the wording that these are someone else’s children and they are being used as a menu. “I like Samantha’s eyes…” I would use “prefer” instead of “like”.
