4, 12, 15!

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

For 4:

1.) Sailor Moon (Of course! :D)

2.) Sailor Saturn (feels a bit like cheating to pick two girls from the same series, but Saturn is honestly my favorite of the manga as well as Sailor Moon.)

3.) Yuki Sonoda

4.) Ichigo Momomiya

5.) Sakura Kinomoto

For 12:

1.) Kate Winters (happily married to your mother's pseudo-brother, who she groomed you for from birth, and a teenage mother with a baby conceived purely as a part of a vengeance plot. Lovely. D8)

2.) Lamoir/Thalassa Gramarye (Her ending wasn't the worst ever, but it just drops off and is never picked up again. So unless Ace Attorney 6 decides to resolve her story arc, she gets a lovely ending of remembering her past...and for some mysterious reason deciding to not go reuniting with her children or anything. I mean, it's not like they miss her or something!)

3.) Katherine Minalo (I guess it's partially how you interpret The Taming of the Shrew, but if you take it at face value, Kate is forced to marry a guy who delights in breaking her will.

4.) Princess Luciana (as seen in the fairy tale "Peter the Fool", the poor girl is magically knocked up by the titular character and, even though it isn't her fault, is sentenced to death by her father. And she's eleven. She escapes and ends up marrying Peter by the story's end, knowing full well what he did to her, and SHE has to prove her virtue to her parents before they forgive her. Oh, and the reason Peter does all of this to her? Because she laughed at him tripping over his fishing net like a dumbass.)

5.) Sedna (she was tricked into marrying a talking crane, nearly drowned by the gods because she had the audacity to be upset and escape, and her own father, after promising to save her, threw her overboard and stabbed her hands so the gods wouldn't drown him.It's really no surprise she ended up being a vengeful goddess)

For 15:

1.) Nora Grey (preferably early in, before she ends up being almost as horrible as Patch)

2.) Kurumi Akino (She's at least spared from marrying her bastard boyfriend, but God damn does he put her through hell first! My lord!)

3.) Aphrodite

4.) Mai (fanversion from How I Became Yours, that is, not the canon version!)

5.) Tara Bennet

1, 2, 13.

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

Sorry this is so late. ^^;

For 1:

1.) Sailor Moon, from Sailor Moon

2.) Yuri Ishtar, from Anatolia Story

3.) Belle, from Disney's BATB

4.) Cimorene, from the Enchanted Forest Chronicles

5.) Athena Cykes, from Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies

For 2:


1.) Queen Nakia, from Anatolia Story

2.) Franziska Von Karma, from Phoenix Wright: Justice For All (not as flat-out villainous as other examples, but I think she still counts)

3.) Sailor Galaxia, from Sailor Moon

4.) Mai, from How I Became Yours (if only because I wish she'd win over the "heroes".)

5.) Azula, from Avatar: The Last Airbender (how can you NOT love such a genre savvy villain?)

For 13:

1.) Leah, from Twilight

2.) Nabooru from Ocarina of Time

3.) Katara from The Last Airbender (that's the shitty movie, not the show itself)

4.) Dabria, from Hush, Hush

5.) Kanae Hiranuma, from Hanako and the Terror of Allegory (for serious, this is the leading lady and we really learn, like, three things about her. Really now!)

[sotnosen93.livejournal.com]

Six!

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

For 6:

1.) Anna and Elsa (Anna more obviously, but just look at the adorkable glee Elsa can pull off. XD)

2.) Rapunzel (Disney version ^^)

3.) Jane (again, Disney's version. That woman's love of apes is just so CUTE!)

4.) Tohru Honda

5.) Jane Foster (MCU-verse)

[sotnosen93.livejournal.com]

Disney has a bit of a knack for adorkableness, don't they? Especially in more recent years. Afraid I don't know who the last two are though. When I see the name Honda, first thing I think of is Tristan from Yu-Gi-Oh, because the Swedish dub kept the Japanese names.

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

XD They really do!

Jane Foster is the female lead in the MCU Thor movies. She unfortunately was not in The Avengers (Natlie Portman was pregnant, so they had to cut her part), but she was in the first and second Thor movies. In the comics, she was a nurse. In the movies, she's an astrophysicist trying to find a bridge to other worlds, which Thor helps her figure out.

Tohru Honda is the heroine of the manga "Fruits Basket". In it, she's a recently-made orphan (her dad died when she was a kid and her mom was killed in a car accident shortly before the series starts) and her grandfather and paternal relatives (who she's supposed to stay with) ask her to live somewhere else temporarily so that they can remodel the house. Because she can't bring herself to impose on her friends, she lives in a tent in the woods. Which ends up under a massive pile of mud after a nearby cliff collapses from rain.

She is found and taken in by a nearby family, the Sohmas, who kindly give her room and board in exchange for her doing the cooking and cleaning. Oh, and it turns out that the Sohma family is under a curse so that certain family members are possessed by spirits of the Zodiac and, if they're hugged by someone of the opposite gender, they transform into their animal. Tohru is living with guys possessed by the dog, the rat, and the cat. Yes, the legend of how the Cat was left out of the Zodiac is used, and yes, it's heartbreaking when you find out how it went. Most of the story is a romance, but it heavily focuses on people being hurt, parents needing to understand children, and learning to forgive and move on. It really is excellent!

7, 8, and 9?

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

For 7:

1.) Maya Fey

2.) Toph

3.) Katara

4.) Pinoko

5.) Princess Zelda

For 8:

1.) Hungary (she's a warrior woman who was once a badass nomad who fought the Ottoman Empire for ages. I'm sure she has had her share of awesome adventures!)

2.) Princess Anna

3.) Agatha Heterodyne

4.) Princess Violetta (while I love her mother, Princess Sapphire got a little too faint-y for me to want to adventure with her. ^^; I think the heroine of "The Twin Knights" would be a lot more fun for adventuring.)

5.) Francoise Arnoul AKA Cyborg 003 (if you don't know all the places she and the other cyborgs have gone and all the things they've done, you need to read "Cyborg 009". Like, right now.)

For 9:

1.) Belle

2.) Tohru Honda

3.) Scheherazade (most versions, but I'm mainly thinking of the Sci-fi miniseries, which is another thing everyone ought to watch!)

4.) Maya Fey

5.) Athena Cykes

[morri-delrae.livejournal.com]

I couldn't possibly pick anything other than 6! And then 9 and 10.

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

6 and 9 were answered above. :) As for 10...

10 - That I'd want to kiss

1.) Elsa

2.) Tiana

3.) Movie!Lucy Pevensie (this being in a "you're so cute, let me pinch your cheeks!" way, mind you)

4.) Kitty Pryde, either her Ellen Page self or the X-Men Evolution design (...don't look at me like that, she's adorable in that version)

5.) Pearl Fey (same reason as Lucy. She is a cutie and I would love to kiss her on the forehead and huggle her)

[aikaterini.livejournal.com]

#3, #5, and #15. :)

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

15 was answered above. :) As for the others...

For 3:

1.) Dagger/Tandy Bowen

2.) X-23

3.) Cyborg 003 (Not sure if she counts as a traditional superheroine, but she has powers and she fights crime)

4.) Karoline Dean

5.) Rogue

For 5:

1.) Sapphire, Violetta, and Emerald (counting them together. ^^; But yeah, we have the queen and princess of Twin Knights - Sapphire having become queen after the events of her own manga - Princess Knight - and Emerald herself is the gypsy queen)

2.) Lichtenstein (Dunno if a Nation-tan counts, but the dub does refer to her as "a princess of Austria", so well say she counts. XD)

3.) Elsa and Anna

4.) Lucy Pevensie (We don't get to see her doing much as queen, sadly, but "The Horse and His Boy" showed that she lead the archers to battle. And hey, she was still queen during her adventures after! :D)

5.) Yuri "Ishtar" Suzuki (If you are transported to a far-off land during the Bronze age and manage to show enough bravery, kindness, and cunning to named Commander-in-Chief of the empire's military AND their queen but to also be considered an incarnation/gift from the goddess of war, you're officially badass royalty)

[marasquine.livejournal.com]

Number 2, please? ^^

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the late reply. ^^; I actually did answer Number 2 for Ladyhadhafang, above.
