Firestar Cameltoe. Not sure if that was her actual last name, but it should have been.

HaHaHahahaha. I LOL’d for 5 minutes. Thanks  
I kinda like that chick in “Cool World”. Don’t remember the name. Just like a man, huh?

Wolverine, Rogue, and Gambit.

Sailor Jupiter. Ah, it was fun to babysit my cousins when _Sailor Moon_ was on.

Rowen and Anubis from _Ronin Warriors._

Spike from _Cowboy Bebop._

Gene Starwind from _Outlaw Star._

Trunks from various _Dragonball_ shows.

I like guys with oddly colored hair, apparently.

Please, let’s have a little decorum. And links for some of the more obscure ones listed so I don’t have to waste 30 seconds looking up “Firestar” on Google.

Now then. I nominate [Kim Possible](http://going24-7.com/pins/images2/kim_possible_daynight0803.jpg), [Penelope Pitstop](http://nostalgiacentral.com/tv/kids/penelopepit.htm) , and [Minerva Mink](http://fbaker.best.vwh.net/MinervaMink).

Honorable mention: Batgirl and Josie and Valerie, the smart black Pussycat but not the dumb blonde, Melody.

Yes, I know I’m going to hell.

Now: Harley Quinn out of the clown suit. Actually, pretty much any woman Bruce Timm draws. Of course Raven.

Growing up: Penny from Inspector Gadget.

I loved him when I was 5 and I still do now! Does Jack Skellington count as cartoon?

Trent from ‘Daria’, Rodger Ramjet, the guy Daria pinched from Jane (it’s been a while since they’ve shown it here), Pink Panther, Danger mouse and the Nick Park clip of Nina Simone as a cat.

And the (original) Grinch always seemed like my type. 😃

Ran Mouri from the Conan manga series. Beautiful, smart when the story calls for it, and able to wipe out evil villians with a single flying karate kick.\* OK, she’s a little young, but that not my fault. She’s been 17 for almost five years.

Of course, there’s always Zoe from Sluggy Freelance.

- My favorite scene is one where Conan has exposed the culprit for the umpteenth time, but this one, in desperation, grabs Ran as a hostage. You see the fear in Conan’s face, but it turns out he’s worried about the bad guy, who in fact does end up leaving in a stretcher.

I have always found White Mage, of 8-bit fame, to be quite lovely. Kid Radd’s Sheena is also really cute. I seem to have a weakness for 32-pixel sprites.

I protest. If **Firestar** , from _Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends_ is too obscure, well then sir, the terrorists have won.

I was about to agree with you, and cite Angelica “Firestar” Jones for igniting (get it?) my own lifelong love of redheads.

I must also mention the Baroness from G.I. Joe for starting my lifelong love of dangerous, sexy brunettes who wear glasses, skin-tight black leather bodysuits, and have exotic accents.

The Bruce Timm women from Justice League Unlimited are all great as well: Hawkgirl out of her costume, Zatanna, Black Canary, Supergirl, Barda, and Wonder Woman (not so big on her attitude, though). I wish Fire and Ice had some lines, and I really wish Phantom Lady appeared in the cartoon!

You love redheads, dangerous, sexy (and lounge music)…

And why was it that you didn’t email me?! 😃

There’s surprisingly little animé content so far.

Shuichi Shindou, _Gravitation_

The mature Subaru Sumeragi, from _X_.

Tsuzuki from _Yami no Matsuei_
