She is often seen wearing her custom-made armored suit, a blue skirt and black boots with a blue Fairy Tail seal on her upper left arm.

We love the nickname “Red-Blooded Habanero,” which Kushina earned when she attacked a group of kids who were teasing her. Born into the Uzushiogakure Uzumaki clan, Kushina is a beautiful woman in her early 20s with a slender figure. She is the wife of Minato Namikaze and the mother of Naruto Uzumaki in the top-rated series, Naruto. Despite her short temper and violent outbursts, Kushina possesses a soft and caring side that most people love her for.

3. Asuna - Sword Art Online

Asuna Yuuki is one of the anime girl characters most popular from our favorite novel, manga, and anime franchise Sword Art Online. She is the deuteragonist and former vice-commander of the Knights of the Blood Oath in Sword Art Online. At first, Asuna was shown to be a strong fighter who didn't mind dying until she met Kirito. However, Asuna is excessively serious, and as the SAO series progresses, she is shown to be nothing more than Kirito's wife.

Saber, from Fate/Stay Night, is the Saber-class servant of Kiritsugu Emiya in the Fourth Holy Grail War and Shirou Emiya in the Fifth Holy Grail War. Serving her master with loyalty and devotion, Saber is a brave and strong-willed female anime character. Fans around the world recognize her as a highly skilled warrior with a kind heart, who cares for those she loves. Her qualities

5. Rias Gremory - High School DxD

The number one beauty of the school, the red-haired Rias Gremory deserves a spot on our list. She is the only daughter of Zeoticus Venelana Gremory and the next head of the Gremory clan. We love that she is called the Crimson-Haired Princess of Ruin. Although she has lovely features, she is very kind and compassionate even towards her servants, something that makes her a fan favorite.

6. Nobara Kugisaki - Jujutsu Kaisen

Among the many unique characters in the Jujutsu Kaisen anime, Nobara Kugosaki is a tough girl who appeals to most anime fans. She is one of the three main protagonists of the Jujutsu manga who moved to Tokyo. Nobara is not your typical strong woman; she is confident and speaks candidly about her looks and herself as a person.

As a rebel fighter, she has demonstrated superhuman pain tolerance while fighting enemies even larger than herself. Nobara's fans love her prowess with various curse-infused weapons, such as the hammer and nail, straw dolls, and rubber mallet.

7. Mikasa Ackerman-Attack on Titan

As a fan favorite of many anime fans, Mikasa Ackerman had to make it onto our list of the best female anime characters. The protagonist of Attack on Titan, Mikasa, is presented as one of the strongest characters, both physically and mentally.

Once a cheerful, outgoing, and innocent girl living with her parents, Mikasa eventually turns into a rather stoic and dangerous person at times. Despite the trauma of witnessing the carnage during the Survey Corps and the brutal murder of her biological father, Mikasa Ackerman retains humanity in her kind heart, but with a reserved and emotionally withdrawn personality who rarely speaks or loses her cool. Her character in the Attack on Titan series makes us question our resilience.

8. Motoko Kusanagi - Ghost in the Shell

Who doesn't know this fast girl from the popular manga-anime franchise Ghost in the Shell, with a distinctive cyborg body? Motoko Kusanagi works as an officer of Public Safety Section 9, a division of the National Public Safety Commission of Japan. After the plane crash she suffered in her childhood, Motoko was in a coma until her consciousness was introduced into a prosthetic body. Since then, she is an excellent hacker and possesses incredible intelligence and combat skills respected among her colleagues. Motoko connects with the public on a higher level, as she is strong, cold, intellectual and artificial at the same time.

9. Touka Kirishima - Tokyo Ghoul

Here comes a fierce ghoul; one of the most talked-about female protagonists of the Tokyo Ghoul series is Touka Kirishima, aka Rabbit. Although she tries not to resort to violence most of the time, she sometimes hunts with a Rabbit mask on, hence the alias.

In the past, she was a waitress at the famous Anteiku coffee shop. As the series progresses, Touka becomes the manager two years after the Owl Suppression Operation. And when humans and ghouls come to have peace, she marries Ken Kaneki and gives birth to their first daughter, Ichika Kaneki. Being a tough and know-it-all girl, but with a touch of kindness, people adore Touka Kirishima.

10. Tsukuyo-Gintama

Tsukuyo from the anime and manga Gintama is a fan favorite, often referred to as the “Courtesan of Death.” She’s a blonde with a scar across her forehead who tells the story of her loyalty to her master when he asked her to reject her identity as a woman. Orphaned as a child, Tsukuyo was raised and trained by a ruthless and deadly assassin, Jiraia. And so, she grew up to become a competent and highly skilled ninja who currently serves as the leader of an all-female law enforcement squad—it’s no wonder all feminist anime fans admire her interesting personality and powerful character.

11. Lucy Heartfilia - Fairy Tail

Lucy Heartfilia, an iconic anime girl from the Fairy Tail manga series, has the best character growth from the first episode to the last. When we first see her, she is a happy and innocent girl who grows up to become a divine spirit mage and mother of seven children.

There are many likable qualities about Lucy: she is fair and beautiful, responsible, with impressive magical abilities and a desire to become a world-famous author. Lucy Heartfilia leaves home after her mother's death with an ambition for independence, something fans admire.

12. Yui Komori - Diabolik Lovers

Yui lives with Cordelia's heart inside her. When Cordelia was dying, she asked Richter to rip out and implant her heart into another human body, and he did so into the abandoned child Yui. Later, she was adopted by a priest and vampire hunter, Seiji, and is forced to live with six vampire brothers.

When it comes to adorable vampire anime ladies, it's no surprise that Diabolik Lover's Yui Komori is everyone's favorite. Her wavy platinum blonde hair and bright sherbet pink eyes have captured the attention of viewers, not to mention the cute pink flower clip she wears on the left side of her hair, which adds more beauty. But there's more to Yui Komori than just beauty - she has will and courage, and an optimistic personality. She is seen to keep a cool head in the face of threats and doesn't mind the mean comments of the other vampires.

13. Revy - Black Lagoon

No, we didn't forget about the heroine, Revy, or as she can be called Rebecca Lee, from the anime series Black Lagoon. Everything about Revy is fierce. In her early 20s, Revy is a dark-skinned Chinese-American woman with a wild temper. In the old days, she is shown as a thief and assassin who shot an unknown man as her first kill. You can't really relate to this complex female anime character until you dive into her intriguing story and understand the verbal and physical traumas she has faced over the years. Although she is a bit rude, sarcastic and troublesome, her absent-minded and humorous side touches our hearts from time to time.

14. Shoko Nishimiya – A Silent Voice

This character has made a lasting impression on most anime fans due to her sweet and forgiving nature, faking smiles even when it's hard to do so. Her character is unique in that she is clinically deaf, but she is still the protagonist of the A Silent Voice series. Unfortunately, she has always been an easy target for bullies, especially her classmate Shoya, who later becomes her friend due to her forgiving nature. Despite the bullies and the pain, Shoko Nishimiya is a strong girl who cares for her family and friends, but cries silently when she is hurt.

15. Esdeath- Akame ga Kill!

Without a doubt, Esdeath is the best dark character in the history of darker anime series or movies. If you're an action lover like us, Esdeath's spectacular fighting skills will blow your mind. As a high-ranking general of the Empire, her attire consists of a general's suit with long sleeves, a blue scarf around her neck, and high-heeled boots. She is soon appointed leader of the Jaegers by the Prime Minister, as she is stronger (emotionally and physically) than most characters. Growing into a manipulative and sadistic woman, Esdeath wasn't always lacking in empathy. Sadly, it was the death of her father in her own arms that hardened her heart to the point of humiliating and torturing anyone she deems weaker than her.
