Ooh, let's see. First of all, I love Katara, because she's just so likeable, and as you said, both lovely and awesome in equal measures. She's a really well-rounded character and is the first one I really fell in love with on Avatar. Kaylee and Zoe from Firefly are quite possibly my two favourite female characters ever. Kaylee just because she is so incredibly sweet and cute while still being an incredibly proficient mechanic. The episode where she goes to a fancy ball in a pink frilly dress - happy as a clam - and starts talking to these men about the ship is fantastic. As for Zoe, well Zoe kicks arse on so many levels, it's unhealthy. She's got a fantastically deadpan sense of humour and she's like the character that... I dunno, *grounds* Serenity, if that makes any sense. You don't watch Firefly, do you? That paragraph probably went right over your head, then. ANNIE! Pretty much for all the reasons you mentioned. She is just adorable, and I want her to haunt my new house. Shiki, from The World Ends With You. I didn't like Shiki at first, but then as the game progressed, her bond with Neku (the main character) strengthened and you hear more and more about her Very Tragic Backstory. I never really sympathised with a game character until I got to a certain point in TWEWY and felt so sorry for what happened to Shiki. Geeky awkward first-season Willow. I haven't seen the rest of Buffy yet (because I'm a terrible person) but first-season Willow is ADORABLE. And she gets some fantastic lines, and she's just perfect! Even though I know she changes, I don't want her to! Can't she just stay how she was in the first season? We need more adorably awkward geeky female characters in the world. I could go on and on for even longer than the length of this comment, but I'd better stop now. There are so many female characters who I think are fantastic and wonderful and all kinds of awesome. I've probably neglected some of my favourites, but I'd better finish this comment off.
