what are your favorite teen girl characters?

It's funny, I think the Teen Girl is really hard to pull off in a way that's interesting... I tend to find lower/early teen girls more compelling, just tend to have more interesting stories I guess. Seems when writers try to tackle older teen girls they end up just being Woman Lite. I loved Ellie in TLOU (the original), liked Sasha in Amphibia (these 2 for very different reasons LOL), I like a girl to be a bit rough around the edges. I find the generic 'alpha' girl annoying though, same with the generic tomboy girl. Don't get me wrong, anon, I love tomboys on principle, but I like it when the masculine energy shines through naturally. It's more elegant.
