Hell's Belles

I know, I know, this is a corny category header, but it describes them so well! These ladies give their opposites (and opponents!) hell, pardon the pun. These ladies can kick the @$$ of anyone they want to.

In most cases, these ladies (despite being secondary characters) are more admrable than the star of the story, if only because they ARE so good at what they do and don't try to be anything less than they are. They can usually steal a scene right out from under the noses of the lead character!

Somewhat standard disclaimer: None of these images belong to me, nor do they belong to the sites/webmasters I stole them from =). These images are owned solely by the creators, artists and/or producers of the anime/manga in question. However, if I took the image from your site and you don't want to share it, please tell me about it and I'll take it down. Sometimes, I have to crop/resize or otherwise alter a perfectly good image in order to emphasize the characters--if you don't like it, email me an alternative, please!

          I find her the funniest character in Dominion. She never lets the pressure of work consume her cause she just loves doing her job. Well, her tank at least. She takes no nonsense from anyone, not even her bosses, and gives as good as she gets. She cares only about her beloved Bonaparte and makes an intriguing love triangle between her, the tank and Al...

          Not only is she able to run her own business, act as leader of a covert mercenary outfit, design computers and weapons superior to anything the military can conjure up, and attract the local supervillain, but she's also got great taste in fashion. All this, and she is LETHAL, definitely not the sweet and demure type. She defines the mysterious, calculating beauty.

          Akane is on the DiD [damsels in distress] thing and even though she is a popular target for kidnapping she still kicks ass. She can be very sweet and lovable at times, like with Ryoga. And she can also whip ass at times, like with Ranma. Despite what Ranma says I think Akane has a PhD in "cuteness".

          ...someone said that ukyo was annoying and she is in the Most Annyoing Women of Anime: Third Wheel category. Well, I just wanted to say something back! First I agree that she should just go for Ryoga, but she wants Ranma becuase she is his fiancee and if you were her I bet you would be angry too when your father in law and fiacee ditched you for okonomyaki! jeeze! She loves Ranma even though she is blind about Ryoga being right there. She is definitely not annoying!! If any of the woman of Ranma 1/2 are annoying it's Akane and Nabiki. Ukyo is nothing compared to those two!!!!!

I just had to tell my opinion. I think ukyo should be here, she and her spatula kick @ss!!!
