Reposting because Retrospring just renumbers lists to be from 1 to 5 so I can't do countdowns. Hopefully this works. Some are just arbitrary picks because I can't think of many who I like more.

5) Professor Sada from Pokemon. We know next to nothing about her at this point beyond buff cavewoman(?) professor, but it's hard to make a list like this without mentioning her right now. Bonus points if she turns out to be the villain of the opposite version because then I get TWO characterisations of her.

4) Mudrock from Arknights. I just respect her vibe a lot.

3) Alice "Daisy" Tonner from The Magnus Archives. First, ACAB. Second, this is a podcast, so I have to take the word of narrators and fanartists. But third, I am gay.

2) Barghest from Fate GO. Tall buff lady with sensible (for her proportions) platemail armour. Has to hold herself back from eating those she loves. Wife city.

1) Tifa from FF7. The classic. If you don't play FF7R with the Buff Tifa mod like she deserves then you're not playing it properly at all.
