This thread gets quite tough if you factor in the female DC and Marvel superheroes, depending on which version of the characters you're talking about.

• Toph [Avatar: The Last Airbender]
• Elisa Maza [Gargoyles]
• Esmeralda [The Hunchback of Notre Dame]
• April O'Neil [TMNT 2003]
• Bulma Briefs [Dragonball; she wasn't characterised as well in Z, and while GT is a terrible series, she's also well-written here]

Honourable mention to Jeri/Juri Kato, Digimon Tamers. Yes, I like her more than Rika.

Can't believe I left Artemis off my list. Tough to narrow it down to 5.

Oooh, this is a tough one.

In no particular order, I'ma say:

- Sailor Uranus (Sailor Moon)
- Demona (Gargoyles)
- Harley Quinn (DCAU)
- Black Arachnia (Beast Wars)
- Lady Amalthea (The Last Unicorn)

but there are so many great ones out there. And sheep, just for you, I'm giving Wonder Woman an honourary mention, because I love feminism in all its forms. :P

Hmmm...

Wonder Woman
Black Canary
Lois Lane
April O'Neil
Mary Jane


Actually I think my list is crap, but whatever.

In no particular order:

Asami (The Legend of Korra)
Irma ('87 TMNT)
April (2k3 TMNT)
Wonder Woman
Breezy (Rocket Power)

Wow, allot of April love in this thread! She'd def be one of my top 5. Still not sure about the other 4. I'm going to have to go with Elisa, so that leaves 3. More this weekend. Too much school stuff at the moment. blast!

Lemme see...

1. Madoka Ayukawa (Kimagure Orange Road)
2. Oscar François de Jarjeyes (Rose of Versailles)
3. Lisa Simpson (The Simpsons)

5. Integra Hellsing (Hellsing)

Honorable mentions:

Natsumi Tsujimoto (You're Under Arrest)
Misato Katsuragi (Neon Genesis Evangelion)
Faye Valentine (Cowboy Bebop)
Nami (One Piece)

As much as like FW's April and 2k3's April, I don't like her enough to crack my top 5. FW's April would crack my top 20, though.

Yeah, she's definitely a top favourite of mine as well. I'm also really fond of YuYu Hakusho's Genkai.

No particular order:

Ran Mori (Detective Conan)
Diana Lombard (Martin Mystery)
Rin (Inuyasha)
Raven (Teen Titans)
Karai (2k7)

...and honorable mention: Lucia (Pokemon Diamant/Perl) and Kagome (Inuyasha)

I just want to say I am beyond happy I actually found someone else who likes this character let alone actually better then to me the overrated Rika.

Now for my list there not really in order because I love them all the same really choosing 5 is going to be really hard for me though. I just put whatever comes to the top of my head.

• Saeko Busujima (Highchool of the Dead)
• Jean Grey (90's/Wolverine and the X-Men)
• Orihime Inoue (Bleach)
• Elisa Maza (Gargoyles)
• Erza Scarlet (Fairy Tail)

In no special order-

April O'neil (TMNT)
Hakase (Nichijou)
Princess Bubblegum (Adventure Time)
Misty (Pokemon)
Tomoko (Watamote)

I see a lot of good list on here but I am really disappointed now mentioned LT Hawk-eye, Full Metal Alchemist brother hood

Anyway here is my list

1.Lt. Hawk-eye/Full Metal Alchemist brother-hood
2.Toph/Avatar the Last Airbender
3.Harley Quinn/Batman TAS
4.Korra/Legend of Korra
5.?????

I really couldn't think of a 5# What all of these characters have in common is depth, they are not your typical love interest ect.... I didn't include april O'neil bc she has been cast as a damsel in distress and I hate that, really just a wasting screen time.....

I almost did, but there were too many for me to choose.

1. How do you hat feminism? I'm not judging, just asking.
2. She wasn't before the New 52, at least not really.

Oh it's wonderful, do give it a watch. The season boxsets are very cheap on Amazon right now, waiting on season 2 to come in and I bought it for about $17. Can't beat that.

Hah, Rika is definitely a little overrated but I still like her too. In fact what I really like is Jeri's relationship with her, Rika sorta adopts this big sister attitude to her. But Jeri is adorable, much more complex than initial appearances would ever make you think, and I get really confused as to why people dislike her at all.

I hope the bolded one is mainly nostalgia and the pre-Johto iteration of the character.

And if it isn't, so what? A lot of Pokémon fans, as well as people who grew up watching the show from the beginning, like Misty.

in no particular order for different reasons

Nina (Artificial Maiden)
by God, the manga sucks and so does the story...but I feel so bad for Nina that I want to adopt her and raise her as my daughteru

Ikaros (Sora no Otoshimono)
badass angel mech girl...really needs no explanation

Moka (Rosario Vampire)
While I didn't care for Rosario + Vampire season II and felt lackluster to the first season, Both Mokas have a soft in my heart

Seiko (Corpse Party)
maybe this doesn't count for this thread, but I just love have fun she is...also "Butter for my Pooper"


Rina (Digimon) I just love her design, almost soothing to look at...something about hoodies I love

Honorable mentions:

Yellow (Pokemon Special)
Just Yellow, i love that bug catcher style girl

Mero (Monster Musume)
A mermaid of a harem manga that doesn't want to actually get the main character...she wants to have a tragic love story, be it that she wants to commit suicide for him; can only look at the mc from a far while he is with one of the other girls; or something even worse - the bad part is, she is begginning to understand what it means for tragedy, as she helps the other girls win the main character, she is hurting herself badly

Aki (Yugioh 5ds)
best girl from the best yugioh series...It is disappointing she gets pushed to cheerleader when Konami decided to sell Black Feathers

Genwunner detected

Agreed, Harley rocks! I think she's actually not too bad in the New 52, it's just that she got a really awful costume.
