This is where I dump my yaoi: Another day....

I put in a list of my favorite male Final Fantasy characters a while back, and now, it's time for the females. But before I do, let me just comment on something I read the other day. It concerns Death Note.

Concerning Death Note: Both L and Light have ANOREXIA! I'm not kidding, here. According to the OFFICIAL How-to-read guide, Light is 179 cm tall and weigh in at 54 kg (that's 5'8" and 119 lb) and L is 179 cm tall and weigh in at 50 kg. That gives Light a Body Mass Index of 16.9 and L 15.6. Now BMI is a blunt instrument on an individual level, generally it says very little about a persons health. But for a realistic assessment of Light's health at that weight would be that he should probably be in a wheel chair. And L.... well... he should probably not get out of bed... there's a risk even that he wont be able to lift his head, as it would be to heavy...

Well, that aside, let's have a look on them girls, shall we? Again, just as with the guys, I only cover 7 to 13-2, skipping out on 1-6, Dirge of Cerberus and the MMO's. Actually, I'll skip out on Crisis Core, too, because that would be cheating....

Final Fantasy 7: Tifa. What a kick-ass girl. Pretty, doesn't mind getting her hands dirty, can handle herself in a fight, can handle Cloud and his emo outbreaks. I know, I know, most people would probably pick Aerith, but something about her just.... rubs me the wrong way, I guess...

Final Fantasy 7 AC: Marlene! I know, she's a kid. But she is such a kick-ass kid. When she threw that Materia at Loz.... I laughed and I groaned at the same time, because my first thought was; Marlene, now you're in trouble. And girl, was I right.... and when she tries to hide under Vincent's torn cape... so sweet, so innocent, so trusting and so strong.

Final Fantasy 8: Selphie. A spunky young woman who balances out the Emo Boy (a.k.a Squall) quite well. Carefree without being careless. Gives for a few fun moments, and man, she can wield nunchaku. Which is hard. I've tried. Although, I must admit... Her hair looks a bit weird.

Final Fantasy 9: Eiko. Another of the spunky Final Fantasy girls. And she tries sooo haaaard. To be happy, to be independent. Sweet, kinda innocent, a nice change of pace.

Final Fantasy 10: How can one NOT say Rikku? This list seems full with spunk at this rate. But maybe that's the point. Side-kick girls needs to be spunky to level out all the emo boys.... Rikku talks crazy in the beginning, but that's because she's Al Bhed.

Paine

Final Fantasy X-2: Paine! Paine is basically a female version of Squall and Vincent combined, with the emo and the clothing... she's less emo, though. She is another kick-ass lady, and all the outfits they made for her, the dress spheres, look great. Paine is one of those Final Fantasy characters I wouldn't mind taking out on a date.

Final Fantasy 12: Penelo. More spunk. But I like her, she can get angry and sad and she always tries to keep Vaan in check, though she never really succeeds.

Final Fantasy 13: FANG! I mean, HELL, what a woman. Enough said!
