I also added honorable mentions for some characters I wish could've made the top 20 but, unfortunately, missed the cut. Please keep in mind that this is just my personal opinion, so please be polite. Please fan and comment because I love to see what people think and to know that they like my articles.

20.Littlefoot (The Land Before Time Franchise)

I felt so bad for him when he loses his mother. SCREW BAMBI'S MOM AND MUFASA'S DEATH! (which I still do get torn up about) Littlefoot had to watch his mother die! Later on, after realizing his mom was truly gone and he was all alone, he becomes determined to find the Great Valley, even if he has to do it himself. I love how he tries to be kind to Cera, even though she's just racist and rude to him. However, I also like how he still has his sass with her and lets her know when she's being ridiculous; wow there's a gender-switching role. I love how he never loses hope, even when things are impossible, well, besides that one scene close to the end of the first film. In all The Land Before Time movies he's always the one who never gives up and basically pulls everyone together because he believes that if they try hard that nothing's impossible. He's the heart of the group. Even when everyone turned on him and went with Cera, he goes after them to make sure they don't get into any trouble, that's very admirable. He's also very clever, like with his plan to get rid of the Sharptooth. I love how curious, brave, fun, and adventurous he is. However, I don't have him higher because at times he seems to have too little to no flaws. He does have flaws but at times he seems too perfect and I prefer more flawed characters.

19.Odette (The Swan Princess)

She's, unfortunately, been accused of having no personality ever since the Nostalgia Critic did a review of the movie. But he labels WAY TOO MANY characters as having no personality and people are really too easily influenced by his opinions. Get minds of your own. I love the Nostalgia Critic, but I disagree with a lot of his opinions. Odette has a three-dimensional and interesting personality. I can actually describe Odette's personality quite well. She's kind, caring, and sweet, which is shown with the way she's always kind to her friends and the way she was tended to Puffin's wounds when he was hurt from an arrow. She's very strong, self-reliant, and brave, which is shown with the way she's constantly standing up to Rothbart and refusing to give her, her father's kingdom and let him cause suffering for her people in the process, along with being able to stay emotionally strong during this tough situation. She's very selfless because she tells Derek that he needs to leave and not fight Rothbart because he could be hurt or killed. She's witty, fun, and playful, which is shown with the way she's always playing off of Jean-Bob with him trying to get her to kiss him and convince everyone he's a prince. Her wittiness is definitely shown with how Odette responds to Rothbart saying that she's starting to bug him by saying "I should think you'd be used to it by now." She's also very smart and quick thinking, which is shown when the sun goes down and Derek is about to shoot at her and Puffin by telling him to go and hide in the trees. She's quite heroic in her swan form because she saves Jean-Bob quite a bit, saved Puffin in that scene I mentioned, and saving Bromley from drowning when he's thrown into the dungeon with her. She's also very confident and independent, which is shown with how she won't marry Derek (who she loves) until he tells her what he loves about her besides her looks. She's also a little reckless because she rushed off to Derek in her swan form without thinking. I can see and describe her personality quite vividly. She's a unique heroine for the time she was created. During the 90's we were getting interesting female characters that were also action characters like Ariel, Mulan, Anastasia, Lola Bunny, Pocahontas, and so forth. But Odette was someone who was very much a modern woman but wasn't an action girl, yet she still spoke her mind and wasn't afraid to stand up for herself. Plus we get to know her emotional struggle with her father being killed, being kidnapped, cursed to become a swan when the moon goes down, not being able to leave because she doesn't know where she is and she could be killed by hunters, and being separated from her true love. She's not higher because the others are just more interesting and have more flaws than she does.

18.Bugs Bunny (Looney Tunes)

How can anyone not love this guy? He's freaking HILARIOUS! I love how he always manages to trick people and turn them against themselves. He's just so freaking clever that it's just HILARIOUS! Every line of dialogue he has I just freaking ADORE! He cares about his friends and tries to help innocent people. Like when Sam was trying to take advantage of Granny by tricking her into marrying him so he could have her money, he does all he can to stop that from happening. I also love how he took Porky's place on a dangerous military mission in one short because he had a wife and six piglets at home. I also just LOVE his relationship with Lola, not the Lola on the new Looney Tunes show, that one is just creepy. I love how she's the serious one and he's the not so serious one, they go together perfectly. This guy is just amazing and so HILARIOUS and interesting! He's not higher because the others are more interesting.

17.Miss Piggy (The Muppets)

It was a hard choice to decide if I love Miss Piggy or Bugs Bunny more, but I guess I love her slightly more. I love how badass she is and how she's a woman that doesn't take crap from anyone. People say she' abusive to Kermit, but he is usually provoking her first. Like when he says she's his poison or when he says that she's putty in his hands or lying to her. Yes, sometimes it's just over things like him seemingly flirting with other girls but that's funny to me. I mean, she's not meant to be taken seriously or meant to be a role model. Not every character has to be a good role model in order to be a good and entertaining character. Even the creator of The Muppets said that Miss Piggy is the only Muppet with a three-dimensional personality. She can be tough and bratty but also can be sweet and caring. In the 2011 movie, she is shown to care about the other Muppets because she came back to save the studio for them. She may not let it show, but she does care about the other Muppets and not just Kermit. She even has a tragic backstory where her father died when she was young and her mother was abusive towards her to the point that she ran away from home as a teenager and ever went back. I love how unlike most stalker characters that she is still a strong and independent woman. She doesn't let the men she flirts with or stalks treat her like crap, unlike someone like the new Lola Bunny or Lena Hyena. I ADORE her, but I feel like the others have more depth to them.

16.Woody (The Toy Story Trilogy)

This guy was one of my idol's as a kid! He is just so awesome! He's smart, kind, caring, loyal, fun-loving, and is such a good friend. During all three movies, he develops and just keeps getting better and better. First he learns that no matter what there is always form for love in someone's hearts for more than just one, then learns that he'll need to face the inevitable (that one day Andy will grow up and won't need him anymore), and finally that you can't hold on to the past and you need to let go so you can move on with your life. He's an incredible well-developed character and it can't be denied. He's the glue that holds the group together and is a natural born leader. Everyone looks up to him and it's not hard to see why. But at the same time he's not perfect, he has his flaws. I guess he's not higher because the others are just more interesting to me.

15.Aang and Zuko (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

It's hard for me to decide which one of these two I like more and I just had to have them on this list so I just gave them both the number 20 spot. These two are both really different and really similar at the same time. Aang is more fun-loving and positive while Zuko is more serious and negative. In the episode, "The Storm", you can see how much they're alike. They both have a complexity to them, like all the main characters on the show do. Zuko has been through so much with his father banishing him and burning his face, his father favoring his sister over him, his mother disappearing, and having to struggle to survive. Aang has also been through a lot. He's a 12-year-old little boy who has to save the world, he was frozen for a hundred years, and his entire civilization was wiped out. They're both complex, brave, smart, care about the ones they love, and determined. I love how fun-loving Aang is and how much innocence he has to him. With Zuko, I love how complex he is. They're both amazingly developed character. Plus, Zuko is one of the most handsome animated male characters and Aang is just so freaking adorable. They're not higher because I find the others more interesting.

14.Zelena (Once Upon A Time)

I was excited as could be when I found out that she would be the next villain and was mad as hell that she was killed off, or so we thought. When I found out she was alive I was jumping around saying "Let the joyous news be spread! The Wicked Witch of The West is alive!" She's an amazing villain and is also sympathetic. I love how this show does get into the psychological side of the villains. Her mother abandoned her, she was only loved by her adopted mother, her adopted father was abusive, and her amazing gift had to be hidden. I was so sad that she lost her magic. I mean, I don't want her to hurt anyone, but her magic is a wonderful gift (which she still has now). Stupid Glinda putting the necklace on her before she could decide for herself! I love that she has such style and charisma to her. I also ADORE her accent and how she just enjoys every minute of how evil she is. She's such an incredible character that I really want to get to redeem herself because her life was just as hard as Regina's. I actually love her more than The Wizard of Oz's Wicked Witch or the Wicked Witch from the musical Wicked. I also love how she just wants someone to love her and that's why she just wants to be isolated with her unborn child. Everyone is planning to take the child away from her when it's born being it's also Robin Hood's (who is Regina's boyfriend) and she doesn't want them to poison its mind and turn it against her. I think she truly loves her unborn child and just wants it to love her. She's an amazing character, but I just like the others more.

13.Helga Pataki (Hey Arnold)

This girl is EPIC and HILARIOUS! I mean come on, the title of the show maybe "Hey Arnold!" but we all know it should be saying "Hey Helga!". This girl is not your typical heroine, in fact, she makes Fiona from Shrek look like Snow White. She's INSANE! She constantly stalk's Arnold and is obsessed with him, she once sculpted his likeness out of wads of his used gum. She's just so HILARIOUS! In fact, she's probably one of the most HILARIOUS character's in all creation! You know how most heroines are animal lovers? Well not in this case. She constantly gets pooped on by birds. This one time when a parrot heard her say how much she loved Arnold and it got loose, pooped on her, and said "YOU CAN RUN BUT YA CAN'T HIDE! I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN, I SWEAR IT! YA HEAR?". Before it got loose she was going to use a chainsaw to kill it. SHE'S INSANE! You know how people say Lilo from Lilo and Stitch is crazy and practices voodoo? Well, Helga mentioned that she used to practice animal sacrifices! She's even crazier than Lilo and that's no small accomplishment! Plus when that Arnold's pet pig stole her heart shaped locket of Arnold she just ran shouting "COME BACK HERE YOU FILTHY PIG! COME BACK! COME BACK!" LOL! I love how she goes insane with the evil laugh of hers. I also love when she crashes through the ceiling and just limps to school with that crazy look on her face. Plus who could ever forget her iconic punching Brainy? I've always wanted to do that to someone. It's so funny! Though other than being mean and completely insane, she's actually a really sweet girl. She's had a hard life, her family completely ignores her! Her mom is on drugs and forgets everything. She forgets her purse on the car when she drives! Who does that? I'm surprised Helga hasn't starved! Her dad just yells and always has to have things his way, no wonder the girl is violent. He always calls her Olga, which is the name of her perfect older sister. Her sister is described as one thing, Mary-Sue. She's so perfect and Helga is always compared to her. Can you imagine how horrible it is to be compared to a perfect older sibling constantly to no end? They ignore Helga and pay so much attention to Olga that Helga had to walk herself to preschool when she was 3 or 4 years old, in the rain, got all muddy, and a dog stole her lunch. My favorite Helga moment is in the episode Arnold's Christmas, where the only thing she wanted for Christmas was a certain pair of snow-boots. She gets them but she also had been trying to find out what to get Arnold for Christmas, which is to find Mr. Hyunh long lost daughter (who was separated from him by a war), and to do that he needed to get those snow boots for a guy at an office to give to his daughter, so he would find her. She gives up her boots but he still refuses because it was late. Helga then says "For pity sake, are you that cold? Look into your heart and we've got a choice here. Either you and I work all night to find a certain lost daughter or you can leave now. But if you leave, that football headed kid will never believe in miracles again." That really shows that along with her tough exterior, complexity, and insanity that she also has a good a pure heart. Usually, I hate bullies but Helga is the exception because she's just an amazingly written character. Minus the characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender, Helga is the most complex and well-written character that Nickelodeon has ever created). She's also kind of pretty, in an unconventional way, plainly pretty. She'd be a lot prettier if she did something with her hair and plucked that uni-brow of hers, which she does in the Valentines Day episode and she looks beautiful. When she grows up she actually is very beautiful and much prettier than her sister. She's not higher because the others are more my style.

12.Quasimodo and Madellaine (The Hunchback of Notre Dame Franchise)

It's hard for me to decide which one of these characters I love more, so I just decided to give them both this spot. They're so much alike! They've been abused by their masters but still managed to keep their good hearts. Quasimodo is hideous, but he is truly beautiful on the inside because of his amazing heart. I love how he's even willing to go against Frollo to help his friends. I love how Madellaine is gorgeous and wonderful but is really insecure and doesn't feel particularly pretty or confident or anything like that. I relate to that a lot. I also love how these two just compliment each other because Quasimodo does see the beauty of Madellaine, both outside and inside, and Madellaine sees past Quasi's looks and sees the beauty inside of him. They inspire each other to be the best that they can be because they believe that the other deserves that. They're both smart, kind, caring, well-developed, brave, strong, clumsy, charmingly awkward, and have true beauty inside of them. I don't have them higher because the others are just more interesting.

11.Scamp and Angel (Lady and The Tramp 2: Scamp's Adventure)

It PAINS me not to have them in the top 10, but there are just other characters that I love more. It's a hard choice between these two, so I decided to give them both this spot. It's amazing how well they go together because they're different and yet very similar. Both of them want more out of life, but it's different and yet the same. They both want to feel like they belong, but Scamp wants to belong without family and with freedom while Angel wants to have a family in order to feel like she belongs. Both have been hurt because Angel has had five families that have abandoned her and Scamp has had his father lie to him, his sisters bully him, and no one in his family understands him. Neither one of them really had any friends until they met each other, so they really understood each other, despite their differences. Scamp is more immature and rebellious while Angel is more mature and experienced. These two help one another develop because Angel was afraid to let anyone in but, Scamp showed her how there are good and caring people in the world. Scamp learned how to appreciate his family thanks to Angel. Angel is really clever, brave, heroic, selfless, sassy, witty, kind, caring, headstrong, determined, sweet, fun, playful, and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Scamp is smart, heroic, brave, kind, caring, sweet, clumsy, charmingly awkward, determined, and isn't afraid to go after his dreams or speak his mind. Both are fantastic and tragically underrated characters that deserve more attention. They're not higher because I simply love the others more.

10.Anastasia Tremaine (The Cinderella Franchise and Once Upon A Time In Wonderland)

I love her equally in the Cinderella franchise and in Once Upon A Time In Wonderland. She's such an amazing, complex, well-written, and underrated character. In the Cinderella franchise, all she wants is for someone to love her and to have what Cinderella has. She doesn't like taking away Cinderella's happy ending and you can tell she feels guilty about it. She's also really funny and deep down has a really good heart. I love how she's a little confused when someone is truly kind to her because she's never had that in her life. In the end she decides not to take away Cinderella's happy ending because Charming didn't love her for her, it was because of magic. In Once Upon A Time In Wonderland, they actually made her really clever and gave her magical powers too. She's made mistakes and later in the show admits to them and tries to make up for them. Everything she does in the series is because she's trying to change the laws of magic and go back in time to undo the mistake she made and have Will back in her life. She truly develops and is shows how she used her rage and the hurt she had towards her mother rejecting and abusing her to make her magic powerful. If you want to know more about why I love Anastasia Tremaine, I made a complete analysis about her in an article I made, which I will provide a link to. She's not higher because I just like her more.

9.Misty (Pokemon)

I absolutely LOVE THIS GIRL! She's the best character on the show! She's so awesome! She's also really funny, I love how she hits Ash whenever he irritates her. Also whenever Brock is going gaga and stupid over some random girl he's only known for a few seconds, she grabs him by the ear and drags him off. Could you imagine her in a Disney movie pulling someone by the ear every time there was a love at first sight thing going on? That sure would be a sight. I love that she's able to tell Ash how stupid and arrogant he is in such a sassy and sarcastic way. I love how insane she is and how she doesn't hesitate to almost kill Ash (not literally). I love that she stands up for what she believes in. When the tenticool and tenticruel are attacking a town and people, she knew it had to be for a reason. When she finds out, she tries to help out because she knows that they're not bad and doesn't want everyone to think they are. I loved that scene where she's pleading to tenticruel, my favorite Misty moment EVER! Unlike the new girls that they tried to replace her with, she's not useless at all! I also love her and Ash's love-hate relationship. She acts like she can't stand him, but she really cares about him and secretly loves him. I loved when she said that Ash is never alone because he's got her. I loved that she loves water Pokemon the most and that they're only Pokemon she has. The way she's so passionate about the sea and water Pokemon is the same was I am about the sea. I also love how she hates bug Pokemon, I can't stand bugs. I admire how she's actually willing to give up being able to travel with her true love and friends because she cares about her Gym. Talk about so selfless! I also feel bad for her that she has such ANNOYING and selfish older sisters! It's their fault that she had to leave the show. I hate them SO MUCH! They're the ones that caused Pokemon to go downhill! The new Pokemon, the girls they got to replace her, and just everything is CRAP now! Dawn, Iris, Cilan, new Pokemon TO HELL WITH YOU! I HATE YOU ALL! All the new girls are just whiny, stupid, annoying, and completely useless! I do like May and I'm neutral towards Serena and Bonnie, but they can't compare to Misty. I wish they'd just end the show now and let Ash and Misty get together. Oh well, she'll always live on in our hearts. I LOVE YOU MISTY! She's not higher because the others have more depth to them.

8.Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables)

This is definitely my favorite literary character EVER! She's incredibly imaginative, probably the most imaginative fictional character in existence. Even when there is a bad situation, she tries to make the best out of it. Like when she thought that she might have to stay at the train station all night, she decided that she would sleep in a cherry tree because she thought it would be very beautiful and literary. But she didn't get to. She's very talkative too, which would be annoying for a character like Wendy, but with Anne is very charming. She's very poetic because of all the books that she reads. She's also an orphan and has lived a very hard life. Her parents died when she was a baby, nobody wanted her when people decided what they had to do with her, a woman took her in because she felt like she had to but made her into a slave, she gave her away to another woman as a slave when her husband died, this woman was even crueler, she was then sent to an orphan asylum after that woman's husband died, and she thought that this one family wanted her, but they actually wanted a boy. They were going to send her back, but they fell in love with her charm and uniqueness. She would charm many people, pretty much everyone she met. But there were those who didn't like her so she wasn't a Mary-Sue. She's also incredibly flawed; she's reckless, clumsy, outspoken, stubborn, and hot-tempered. She's very sensitive about her looks because people told her that she was homely all her life. When Mrs. Lynn called her terrible skinny, homely, freckled, and that she had hair as red as carrots, she just went off on her. When her love interest called her carrots and pulled her pigtails when they were 11, she shouted, "You mean hateful boy! How dare you!" and broke her little chock-board over his head. Talk about a fiery redhead! I honestly think she's absolutely beautiful and that she always has been. The book says that she becomes pretty as she grows older, but I always thought she was beautiful. I loved seeing her go from an 11-year-old little girl into a 16-year-old young woman. I also love how dedicated to her friends and family. She's a lot of fun but can be serious. She's not higher because I just like the others more. But I still ADORE her! If you haven't read the book or seen the movie I HIGHLY recommend them!

7.Katara (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

My username is not KataraLover for nothing. I loved this girl from the very first episode! I love how she's not afraid to tell people off and let them know how stupid they are. I admire how when her mother died she took over and helped her tribe like a mother. She started doing this all when she was a little girl. She had to grow up WAY too fast. I always thought she was a princess because even if the show won't admit it she is. She's the daughter of the chief of her tribe, so that makes her a princess. I love how she's both serious but as the same time fun. She's inspirational, she stands up for what she believes in. When those Earth benders were forced not to bend, she stood up for them and did everything she could to give them back their faith. She never stops until her goal is achieved. She's what got girls to love the show. I mean without her it just would've been just a boys show. They used her to appeal to the girls and without her we wouldn't have other awesome avatar girls like Toph, Azula, etc. I loved how she pretended to be the Painted Lady to help this poor town. Even when she was told just to forget about it, she just refuses to ever turn her back on people who need her, my favorite moment. Another favorite Katara moment of mine would have to be when she stands up to Pakku. She's come all the way from the Southern Water Tribe to the Northern Water Tribe to learn water bending and he refuses to teach her because she's a girl. She refuses to take that and says that she's going to fight him. She knows she'll most likely lose but does it anyway because she wants to prove that she has what it takes. She doesn't let stupid old fashioned customs stand in her way and lets people know that they're stupid. I also love how whenever the group is just giving up she's the one who pulls them together and tells them that they can do it and they just need to work together. I love that she went from a clumsy little girl to this mature young woman. She's truly a strong woman! People say she's a Mary-Sue and I'd be lying if I said I didn't see it. However, I believe she has flaws; she's bossy, hot-headed, impatient, motherly, a little bit of a nag, and aggressive. People don't seem to like that about her either. But she's had to grow up really fast thanks to a war. Do you expect her to be all Mary Sunshine about it when people are dying and suffering? The reason she's not higher is because of how she's kind of a nag and bossy.

6.Emma Swan (Once Upon A Time)

She reminds me A LOT of Angel because they both put up walls, are afraid to open up to people, have had a hard life, and grew up without a family. People usually find Regina more interesting, and while I love Regina, Emma interests me a lot more. I love characters that are afraid to get close to someone because I love to see them develop and grow. People have said that after season one, Emma was a completely different character, which I don't believe AT ALL! She's not the same because she's developing, but she's pretty much the same person. She's still sarcastic, has a dry wit, is really smart and clever, and totally badass. She took down a freaking dragon! I love how even though she's the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming that she's not your typical princess. One reason for that is because she grew up in the real world. But she's someone who tries to look at things in a realistic way. I love her detective skills, forget freaking Batman, Emma is the best detective EVER! I really admire how she gave up Henry for adoption to give him his best chance. She knew he wouldn't have a good life with her and that he could have a family that could give him a good life. She's a really well-developed character, second most developed after Regina. I love her big heart and how at the end of season three, she finally lets her parents in. But I didn't like that she and Hook ended up together, that couple really was badly done because Hook had very few moments that would hint that he loved Emma in season two. Yet in season three he's in love with her? That was just horrible done! I never saw anything that would hint that Emma loved Hook so that kiss and hook up were just out of nowhere. But I digress. Emma is an amazing character that is strong, intelligent, brave, and one of the most heroically badass fictional heroines EVER! Plus, I ADORE her as the Dark Swan. She's a fantastic and deliciously evil villain. She's not higher because there were times in the second half of season three that she annoyed me. I hated that she was trying to take Henry away from Storybrooke without any consideration for anyone but herself.

5.Aladdin (Aladdin)

My favorite Disney Prince! I love how clever and sassy he is while avoiding the guards and making cool comments while doing it. I loved how he only steals food, not money or gems, and sometimes even gives it to those less fortunate, like those two little kids. I love how he defended those kids and the way he insulted that snob of a prince. People look down on him because he's a street rat and they think he'll never amount to anything. There's so much more to him than just that. I relate to him so much because of that whole being treated like a nobody who has so much to offer, but people just don't pay any attention to that. I love how he saved Jasmine from getting her hand cut off. I also admire that he causes problems, but he actually goes back to try to fix them because he knows it's all his fault. He even gives up his last chance to be with Jasmine to keep his promise to Genie and set him free. Sure he lied and was a jerk at times, but there's something you should be aware of, HE'S A HUMAN! As if none of you have lied or been a jerk before. I also really enjoyed him in the sequels and the TV shows. However, he's not higher because at times in the series he annoyed me.

4.Azula (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

That's right, I love Azula much more than Zuko, but he's still awesome. I just always found Azula to be a more compelling character than him. First, let's talk about what makes her such an amazing villain. She is completely manipulative and ruthless. She can turn people against each other and even against themselves. She'll stop at nothing to accomplish her goals. But she's also really complex. Her father never loved her and was only using her for her abilities, her friends betrayed her, and her mother loved her brother more than her and thought that she was a monster. She's never truly had love in her life, and while she tries to believe that she doesn't need it, she really wants it more than anything. She ends up slowly losing her mind after her friends betray her. This is the result of depriving love to another. People think she's pure evil, but she's really not, she's just confused. When she told Zuko she needed him in Ba Sing Se and they conquered it, she really didn't need him anymore. She could have just betrayed him like she did with Long Feng, but she didn't. She loves her brother and was doing all she could to look out for him. She even knew that he was secretly meeting Iroh and could have used that to her advantage to gain the throne. But she doesn't, she just warns him to be careful. Also when she makes Ty Lee cry, she instantly apologizes to her within seconds flat. Someone who was pure evil wouldn't care about hurting someone's feelings. I also love her socially awkward moments in The Beach episode. It shows that she has a lot more layers to her than a lot of other animated villains do. I was absolutely torn apart when she cried from her hallucination of her mother and when she has her mental breakdown. I just wanted to hug her. It was the little girl inside of her that had to grow up too fast finally coming out with all the emotions that she had been bottling up to meet with her father's approval and just wishing for someone to help her. I really hope that the comics will give her the redemption that she deserves. After The Search comics, it really proves that she can change and that there is good in her. She's not higher because I just love the others more.

3.Ariel and Melody (The Little Mermaid Franchise and Once Upon A Time)

I've always loved these two! It's hard to decide which one of these awesome characters is better, so I just decided to give them both the number three spot. First let's talk about Ariel. I loved her when she was exploring the ship. I admire that she's brave and willing to do whatever it takes to make her dream come true. She knows what she wants and is willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. I wish I was as brave and confident as her. I found her so funny when she was in having dinner and was brushing her hair with a fork and blew that pipe in Grimsby's face. I loved that she's actually the first Disney Princess who saves her prince. Even when things look bad she's still willing to fight for her happy ending. I grew up with the original, the sequel, and TV series. She really deserves her happy ending more than anybody. Now time to talk about Melody. I relate to and I'm the most like her out of all fictional characters EVER! I love the sea just like her! I love that she's adventurous and curious like her mother. I think she's one of the smartest animated heroines ever. I loved how she's actually the one who saves the day, she's the most heroic of all the Young Heroines of Disney. I can go on about how much I love them forever! Both get criticism for bad reasons. So what if they both run away from home for their own personal reasons? They had good reasons! Plus they grew and developed as their stories went on. Plus I think they're the most flawed out of all the Disney Heroines, which I love. They make mistakes, but they regret them and love their family and friends dearly. They're some of the most well-developed animated characters EVER! Both are brave, smart, heroic, gorgeous, sweet, charming, funny, and completely awesome. I don't care what the haters say because I have an undying love for them. Unfortunately, there are two characters that I love more and it PAINS me to not have them higher, but I just love my top 2 more.

2.Regina (Once Upon A Time)

This is ironic, considering that I used to hate her, but that was mainly because of a lot of her annoying fans that justified all of her actions and hated on Emma and Snow White. However, once I got over that, I ended up ADORING her to death, especially thanks to season 3. She's an amazing villain that was clever, sassy, and doesn't let anyone get in her way. She's also one of the most well-developed characters EVER! Everything about her is well-done! From her story of becoming evil, her insecurities, her desire to be happy and loved, and her redemption. I love how sassy she is! She has the best lines on the show and the best wardrobe. She's the most fabulous queen and villain that ever existed. I love how she makes such sacrifices for her son, even risking the curse being broken and losing everything, just so she can enjoy her life with Henry. She's gone from the antagonist in season 1 to the protagonist in season 5, now that Emma Swan, the protagonist of season 1-4, is now the antagonist in season 5. I think the only way to show how amazing Regina truly is, is to share a Regina article written by my AMAZING friend and fellow Evil Regal, zanhar1. She's not higher because I just ADORE my favorite fictional character SO MUCH!

1.Jack Frost (Rise of The Guardians)

I've heard a lot of people say that Jack is just an annoy jerk, which is MAJOR bullsh*t! If that's true than Bella from Twilight is a great character, which she's not. He's a fun character that's very playful, but that's only part of who he is. He's very complex because he doesn't know who he is, where he came from, or what his purpose was. I love that he has a soft spot for kids, especially Jamie, which I found to be a very charming brotherly bond that was amazingly done. Plus, unlike characters that get a lot of love like Naveen and Sinbad, despite being total jackasses with development that's not realistic and is horribly done, Jack actually has great development and changes. He realizes that while it is good to know when to have fun, that it also important to learn when to be serious and to live up to your responsibilities. He's one of the best-developed characters in all of existence! He makes mistakes and he acknowledges them, blames himself for them, learns from them, and does all he can to try to fix them. He does all he can to protect and help the ones he cares about. He's really great with kids. I cried tears of joy when Jamie believes in Jack and someone finally sees him after hundreds of years of trying to get someone to. I was so happy for him. I love the ending where he tells Jamie that he and the guardians will always be there for him and the other kids and that they'll always be in their hearts, which kind of made him a guardian too. How anyone could possibly hate such an amazing, complex, and well-developed character is WAY beyond me! He's my all-time favorite fictional character and I don't see him being replaced anytime soon.
