Yuna annoyed the heck out of me. She was so bumbling and indecisive throughout the whole game. Yeah she had a great burden on her shoulders but so did pretty much every female lead in the games.

Aerith was the last surviving ancient and nearly the only hope to save the planet. Garnet had to fight against her mother all the while discovering who she really was and on top of that getting thrust into the leadership of an entire nation at the ripe young age of 16 (or something like that). Ashe and Terra have already been discussed too. None of them were hopeless as she was throughout the game. Sure they had moments of despair but Yuna was like that for pretty much the entire game O.o /end rant.

That being said, my favorites were Ashe and then Garnet.
