Female characters meme

(from canis-m) "the goal is to produce a list of 100 female characters you love, think are awesome, etc." I'm not sure I can name 100 *characters* I love, especially depending on how awesome they're supposed to be but we'll see. All fiction seems to be fair game.

( Mercy cut )

Actually this probably gets into "female characters I like, or females in fiction I like" who don't strike a gut feeling of awesome. I like Higurashi, Haruhi Suzumiya, Aria, Maria-sama, Macross Frontier, Princess Tutu, Baccano!, Card Captor Sakura... lots of women there, many cool, some action heroes. But somehow Suzumiya and Yuki don't feel like they belong on the same list as the others, despite both being literally godlike figures; perhaps they just don't feel as real to me. Tutu's cool, but... And there's characters left out from the works above: Alyc Vorpatril, Anya and Inara, Delenn, Meji who's the main character of Errant Story but more of "overpowered cute annoying brat" compared to Sarine... Ask me on another day, probably get another list.

Also, a few of those I don't *like* as people, especially Skade and Ellen May. My gut cannot deny their awesomeness, however.
