Give me the name of a female character and I'll tell you why I love her. In return, you can do the same in your journal.

Nami!

I've been rereading the series from the beginning, again, and I just got to the part where Nami has fallen ill with a fever of 40 degrees Celsius, and yet despite this, she is still able to accurately predict the weather on the Grand Line, thus saving the entire crew from a horrible, horrible death. Goddamn, Nami is awesome.

I kinda want to ask you another one. If you don't want to, that's fine! But, Subaru from .hack//sign?

Go right ahead!

Now Subaru, for me the big thing is her relationship with Tsukasa; you can really see in their interactions with one another the kind of beautiful, loving person she really is.

Mai. (From YGO, not Avatar.)

Mai Kujaku...I think my absolute favorite moment with her is right after Yami Malik has been defeated, and Jounouchi and the others rush on over to her, and when they think she's dead Jounouchi begs her to wake, and then she starts laughing because she successfully punked him. And then she put him a headlock. Seriously, she just has so much inner strength and confidence and the ability to bounce back from some truly heinous events...just an incredibly admirable character as far as I'm concerned.

I have a personal thing against practical jokes, and I tend to feel characters' humiliation too much, so that scene always bugs be because poor Jou was so very seriously worried about her. But that's just me. I agree with all your comments about Mai. I was soooooo mad in the Orichalcos arc when they had her go evil. Hadn't we already been there/done that? GRRR. If it weren't for the fact that I really like the fact that Yami had to deal with losing a game AND losing Yugi, and that I kind of like my own fanon that explains why the Orichalcos demons were just a repeat of the Battle City demons, I would have hated that arc, mostly because of Mai. Oh, yeah, the end of her duel with Jou redeemed it, too. I LOVE that moment, where she drops her cards and runs to him. ::sniff sniff::

I will grant you, if anything were to have made DOMA tolerable for me, it would have been your ingenious fanon. But at the end of the day, I far prefer the manga and its, comparatively at the least, tighter and more controlled narrative, where the 10,000 year old king of Atlantis does not get to give tired hackneyed speeches about how corrupt humanity is; thank you very much for your time, I prefer my action on the more personal scale, keeps it relatable for me.

And Yami...I just don't buy him doing what he did post-battle city. Maybe if it had been set before or just after Duelist Kingdom...hell, during the duel with Pegasus, Yami thought that Yuugi freaking died; no way in hell would he defy Yuugi and endanger his life like that over what was, up to that point, a duel of no consequence. (Now I want to find that clip from Futurama where the Harlem Globetrotters challenge the Earth to a basketball game with absolutely nothing on the line.)

But anyway, Mai! She's awesome, and deserves the best that canon can offer her.
