Okay, here are my top 5 favorite FEMALE characters (in no particular order).
Bulma - Dragon Ball Z series
I choose Bulma in the Dragon Ball Z series because she is one of the only important and valuable support characters that does not partake in fights. She is regarded for her intellect and resourcefulness, not solely for her looks (like in Dragon Ball).

Aqua - Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep
Quite possibly the coolest female protagonist to wield a Keyblade that Square Enix has ever created. She is level-headed and caring, the glue that holds Terra and Ven together in their friendship. Though not as strong as Terra in terms of combat, she makes it up with her mastery in magic.

Master Tigress - Kung Fu Panda series
The leader of the Fearsome Five and the strogest in terms of strength, Tigress is always willing to lead the charge into any situation, regardless of how fearsome their foes might be. Though displaying a tough exterior, she also has a sensitive and supportive side, demonstrated in Kung Fu Panda 2. Also she's voiced by Angelina Jolie, so, yeah, awesome.

Hit-Girl - Kick-Ass series
Easily the strongest and most versatile vigilante in the Kick-Ass series, Hit-Girl has been trained to be a ruthless crime fighter and an agent of vengeance. An expert in firearms and edge weapons, she is always equipped to take down any foe and overcome any challenge.

Rukia Kuchiki - Bleach series
Rukia is the definitive female lead in the series and out to bring honor to the Kuchiki house, of which she was adopted into. She serves as a mentor to Ichigo Kurosaki, the main protagonist, and a good friend, often instilling confidence and determination whenever she feels it is necessary. Though not an expert swordsman, she is inept with Kido, a form of demonic/spiritual magic, and has both one of the most powerful and beautiful Shikais in all of Soul Society. She is most notable for her horrible sketches and often times being as immature as Ichigo.

If i have to narrow it down to only five then...
1. Garrus Vakarian from mass effect
2. John Marston from red dead redemption
3. Snake Plissken from escape from new York
4. Thor from Thor (obviously)
5. Basch Fon Rosenberg from final fantasy XII
I suppose have a thing for men who are just good men and not bad boys or shy guys.

Trilligan said:
Much of the changes are subtle in most cases. But you can sometimes notice a change in demeanor when she, and others (often the player), face something grotesque or seemingly insurmountable. That, of course, changes with the launch of the rocket. But it all does a one-eighty, again, afterward.
Granted, her character progression is by no means "Shakespearean", and could easily have been done better. Of that there is no debating. But to outright say her character is essentially "bad", as the guy in the video did, is just ludicrous. (though, compared to some of the better written literary characters, she's pretty flat)
I always encourage a repeat play-through of classic or influential games or series, regardless of genre. Often you'll see things in these sorts of games; ones so finely crafted or created with both a love of the design and of the medium; that you hadn't noticed before. Or, perhaps, things you had interpreted differently the first time.
For example, after reading some negative critiques of Homeworld, I went back and replayed the game from start to finish. During that play-through, I noticed things I hadn't previously. Naturally, some were the faults given in the critique. Others, things that gave both a greater depth to the story and a better appreciation of the skill of the designers behind the game. As such, the negative review actually endeared the game to me more than before.
So yes. I say play through it again. Who knows? Maybe you'll see things differently. Maybe you won't. Either way, as long as you have fun during, "s'all good".
'Course, if you don't have fun, then perhaps you're right and it may be that I interpreted the video's message incorrectly.
Maybe I should play through it again too...
[side note]
I was a tad disappointed that "Campster", when talking on the narrative flaws he saw in the G-Man character, didn't bring up one of the biggest, most glaring plot-holes in the series.
Why is it that the G-Man, who is seemingly everywhere and in contact with many other characters, is a complete mystery to Gordon? With how often he is seen talking to other characters, and with how much knowledge some seem to have about him (like with Eli), why is it that not a single person has filled Gordon in on something...anything...about him?
That was always one thing that made no sense to me.

A recent favorite character of mine is Emi Ibarazaki from Katawa Shoujo.
I didn't expect to like her much at first, but she sure grew on me. I think may be the combination of determination, stubbornness, and playfulness that got me. She's a fun and interesting character. I'd enjoy meeting a similar personality to Emi in reality.

Female Shepard. HURR COP-OUT ANSWER
In all seriousness, probably Queen of Pain in DotA2, just because of her play style.

In no particular order.
Balsa From Seirei No Moribito. A very rare instance of a strong tastefully done female main character in an anime.
Toph Beifong from Avatar. She's the most badass character in the entire series... and she's a blind little twelve year old girl.
Rogue from X-Men, I've always loved her character. Her powers are incredibly useful, but at the same time they're a horrible burden. I'm looking forward to her being in the new Avengers comic that's coming up soon.
Tali'Zorah from the Mass Effect series. She's intelligent, but she can be pretty airheaded at times(which can make her adorable). She was also one of the more interesting female love interests in the Mass Effect trilogy.
Arya Stark from Game of Thrones. Kind of like Toph, she's one of the most badass characters in the show. She's a really smart kid too, and I loved her conversations with Tywin in season 2. She's very tough and vengeful as well... that's one little kid I wouldn't want to piss off.
Mrs. Brisby from The Secret of NIMH. She was pretty much the first heroine I had ever been exposed to as a kid, and I loved her. She was scared quite a lot throughout the movie, but when she had to be strong, she could be strong.
Celes Chere from Final Fantasy VI. I liked her character, and her relationship with Locke(who is my favorite character in the game} but the opera is where she really became one of my absolute favorite characters in the game.
I think I'm just going to stop there. I could keep going for a while, but the post would be just too long.
