Your favorite anime/manga female?

In this topic, we find ourselves discussing Southperry's favorite waifus and circle jerk around with each other. I, for one, am devoted to finding a true answer to the best female ever that doesn't involve looking for the most KAWAII female, but genuinely at the character.

The simple answer to this thread is Saya, if visual novels are to be of any validity.

It's pretty obvious that Saya's a pretty cute character. Seeing the world full of nothing but gore and Cthulu-esque monsters, Saya stands out a lot as the quintessence of beauty. The passion in her relationship with Fuminori was something mystifying to feel. Every sex scene was actually rather beautiful to read through, and most interaction with her in the game felt great. Oh, and not to mention she's incredibly sweet- going to avoid examples here.

Oh, and of course: my next favorite female character is Yotsuba.

Too lazy to do a dump of her because we've all seen tons of Yotsuba, I believe. She's awesome for all the obvious and right reasons. Her character is most of why Yotsuba&! is just so great. I feel like Yotsuba really captures something in everyone from when they were a kid, and really gets the fun of childhood wonder going in that manga. I picked up volume 8 from Borders yesterday and the first thing I see is... "THE RANCH MAN". Friggin Ranchman can do what a ranch can do.

(I'm teasing you guys for the most part, haha. I do really like Yotsuba and Saya though. I'll bring up a few other characters as this thread goes on.)
