31. Yumi Ishiyama from Cartoon Network’s Code Lyoko. Yumi is one of those ever popular, all-black-wearing, action-girl types. But she pulls it off so much better than the stereotypical character! Yumi loves spending time with Aelita and all her pink-ness, prefers to avoid confrontation with Sissi rather than insult back, and takes charge when she wants to or needs to. She also does her best to keep up with her studies, living with a frustrating younger brother and parents who have considered divorce, plus saving the world and almost dying every other day. Another great thing is her relationship with Ulrich - Yumi knew his feelings, and he knew hers, but because he never seemed to want to initiate anything, she attempted to move on. Even though it didn’t work out that way, Yumi’s decision was very mature for her age, and it’s nice to see a lovestruck teenage girl that doesn’t let her feelings get in the way of other decisions, or just sit around waiting for her crush to sweep her off her feet. -- source link
