My favourite is Princess Peach. I used to hate her. Why didn't she just get some body guards so Bowzer wouldn't kidnap her? She's a princess! She could have got her father, the King, to declare war on Bowzer and have him killed.
But now I'm ok with all that, because if she had ideas and thought for herself she wouldn't be such s cutie. And she's a fun character to play, she's very Japanese.
