My favorite girls
🕑 Added 2024-08-21 22:57:29 +0000 UTCI don't know how many people know this about me, but these 4 have been my top favorite women in fictional media since I was a teenager. They all hold a special and dear place in my heart, so I'd like to share about when I came across them during my teen years.
So the girls are listed in almost chronological order of when I found each of them, but even though I found Aqua before Hinata, my love for Aqua didn't really hit until a little after I got into Naruto, so that's why she's before Aqua.
Hinata- I started watching Naruto very late into its run. Growing up and seeing it on Cartoon Network, something about the show, I think it was mainly the opening, really turned me off of watching it. Back in 2014 though, my friends started telling me about how I should get into it while we were working on our senior class project. I started watching it and immediately fell for Hinata once she first appeared. I've always liked shy girls in media, so that plus the dark hair really made me fall for Hinata. Seeing the evolution and growth of her as a person and as a chartacter, really cemented Hinata as my top favorite anime girl, even if she was still considered second to Sakura in terms of the story's main female lead. Plus, that lake seen during the pre-Shippuden era really helped boost her up in my books lol.
Aqua- Now out of all of these women, Aqua is most definitely my favorite. From the moment I'd first watched a japanese playthrough of her story back during the 9 month release between the English and Japanese versions of Birth By Sleep, I'd always had a strong fascination with her. Kairi and NaminΓ© had always been the main female protagonists of KH up to that point, so I was curious to see what a new character would do, especially since she was literally coming out swinging. I'd already liked her a lot from her debut, but as I got older and saw more fan art of Aqua during my college years, I really grew to appreciate her character all the more, especially after replaying her story again during the 2.5 HD remix of BBS. She's the reason I enjoy strong female characters who can take charge and kick ass now. But I'll cut my writings of her short, or I'll end up making a whole essay about her at this rate XD
Palutena- While she may be considered to be at the bottom of this list of 4, I really have grown to love just as much as the others here. After playing Kid Icarus: Uprising, I felt mixed feelings towards her character. While I did enjoy her back and forth with Pit and all the other characters, there was still something left to be desired about her, at least to me anyway. Maybe it was how she'd often rag on the captain of her army, or maybe I felt she was just a bit plain for a Goddess. That changed about a year or two later when I received Super Smash Bros 4 on Wii U & 3Ds. Looking at her small cameo in Brawl and going to have her as a playable character in the next entry, it changed something inside that really made grow to appreciate her more, especially after replaying Uprising again and seeing how deeply she cares for Pit. Between playing as her (Even if I wasn't very good with her) and her Palutena's guidance segments, my adoration for this green haired Goddess skyrocketed. I really hope that Sakurai has plans for either a remake or sequel to uprising so that we can see the duo again.
Max- This one I'll have to be careful to get too carried away with, or I'll be writing another essay like I did for Aqua lol. I first got into Life is Strange when it released, watching Pewdiepie really get into the story of it. I picked it up for myself, despite not caring for choice based games due to my own indecisive nature, and instantly loved it. Max, thought to be boring or kind of plain by both people in game and the fans of the games, felt super relatable. From her relationship with her childhood friend Chloe, to her interests and mannerisms, Max is probably the one character listed that I relate to the most. I won't get into her much more, but I love her nerdy ass and can't wait to see what double exposure brings to her story.
I hope you guys enjoy the piece and hearing my thoughts on these girls. Hopefully it shed some light on my tastes and I might have persuaded you to give any of their respective series a chance if you haven't already! Also enjoy the bonus picture. I accidentally put all the girls in order from shortest to tallest and just thought that a funny bit that I wanted to share with you all! More works will hopefully be coming soon (If I can get out of this funk I've been in thanks to both the summer heat and my day job.)

Personally im glad some one else likes Max as much as i do. Something about her personallity and looks just makes her perfect for ENF scenarios. I have only played prt1 and while I enjoyed it the spinoff games are not for me but going back to maxs story should be cool to watch.

It was nice seeing a bit of your history with these characters and if you ever want to go in more detail or just gush about characters you think are awesome in general go ahead!
