Speed first appeared as one of the Shinuchi working under Kaido; she assisted in hoarding the food and clean drinking water for herself and the other animal-themed Beast Pirates. As a horse SMILE user, she possesses numerous horse-like characteristics like her centaur appearance and her comical horse smile.

In the One Piece anime, Speed briefly fought Zoro and Kiku in Bakura Town before being tamed by Tama's Kibi Kibi no Mi powers. Afterward, she becomes more sympathetic towards the people of Wano and is fully subservient to Tama, forming a mother-and-daughter relationship with her.

Nowadays, Saki is still quite reserved, but she likes to spook people with her gothic appearance and wave ability. Her personality would eventually clash with her rotorella during the school play, so much so that the script was rewritten in order to fit her standoffish nature.

8 Manami Tamura (Oreimo)

Manami may be plain when it comes to her appearance, but her personality is extremely dynamic. She may seem shy and introverted at first, but when pushed to the limit, Manami can become very blunt and mean, much to the shock of those in the vicinity.

Manami's most defining aspect is her obsessive love for Kyosuke, whom she has known since they were both children. In an effort to be with Kyosuke, Manami takes it upon herself to sabotage all of Kyosuke's other relationships before ultimately choosing to support him and whoever he chooses as his girlfriend.

7 Yukiko Kanzaki (Assassination Classroom)

One of many students in Koro-sensei's class, Yukiko is one of his more mature students, retaining a refined and composed demeanor. Despite this, Yukiko can be rather meek, especially when it comes to men. As a result, she is often the victim of unwarranted flirting from her male peers.

Noted by others as the most beautiful girl in their class, Yukiko spent her entire life being raised to be a proper lady. Although she assists in the many assassination attempts on Koro-sensei, Yukiko ultimately chooses to spare his life, as she views him as her mentor.

6 Eru Chitanda (Hyouka)

Like Yukiko, Eru grew up in a well-to-do environment and was brought up to be a proper lady. She is also extremely adventurous, always excited to solve whatever mystery comes her way, serving as a stark contrast to Hotaro's lethargic personality.

Alongside Hotaro and Satoshi, Eru is one of the three founding members of the Classic Literature Club. Together, the three of them investigate numerous happenings in and out of school, with Eru's mystery-oriented drive being the glue that drives the trio forward. Combined with her admirable intelligence, Eru ensures that any mystery that comes her way will never go unsolved.

5 Aria Shichijo (Seitokai Yakuindomo)

The secretary of the Student Council, Aria happily supports the Student Council as well as its members to the best of her ability. Although she comes from wealth, she has no qualms about using her family's vast fortune to fund various activities and expenses, though she is naive because of her background as well.

Aria is well-respected among the Student Council, with many members looking to her as a parental figure. But out of all of them, Aria is the closest to her childhood friend Shino Amakusa, with the two sharing the same lecherous sense of humor.

4 Chiya Ujimatsu (Is This Order A Rabbit?)

The main character of Is This Order a Rabbit, Chiya is a kind, upbeat girl with an overactive imagination; she surprisingly likes creepy stories and strives to become a samurai. She owns a pet rabbit named Anko, whom her parents decided to use as the mascot of their new café, Ama Usa An.

Chiya helps out in Ama Usa An by being in charge of the sweets sold there, although she tends to give them outrageously strange names. When not helping out around Ama Usa An, she can be seen in the company of her childhood friends, Cocoa Hoto and Sharo Kirima, giving them emotional support when they need it.

3 Mizuki Shibata (Irregular at Magic High School)

Mizuki Shibata Magic High School

Though she appears to be shy and meek, Mizuki can be quick to anger when provoked. She is still somewhat innocent, however, as she takes her classmates' jokes at face value and harbors a secret crush on Mikihiko Yoshida, her lowerclassman.

A rarity in First High School, Mizuki wears her glasses in order to stave off the negative effects of her oversensitivity to spirit energy, formally known as Pushions. Her special ability, Crystal Eyes, allows her to see the physical forms of spirits and their colors, which came in handy when Pixie's body was taken over by a parasite.

2 Wendy Marvell (Fairy Tail)

Originally a member of the supposed guild Cait Shelter, Wendy officially joined the Fairy Tail guild after the tumulous battle with Oracion Seis. She is the third Dragon Slayer to join, possessing the magic-enhancing Sky Dragon Slayer Magic.

Initially very hesitant to fight, Wendy begins to take a more active role during times of peril, which prompts her to face powerful foes such as Ezel and Irene. She is particularly close to Sherria Blendy from Lamia Scale; the two of them were even called the Sky Sisters during Wendy's brief stay at her guild.

1 Ritsu Tainaka (K-ON!)

Proactive and outgoing, it is Ritsu that revives the Light Music Club, saving it from being abolished and taking the mantle of club president. She and Mio Akiyama are childhood friends, with Ritsu badgering Mio to join the Light Music Club despite the latter having other plans.

Although Ritsu's antics can get on the nerves of her fellow bandmates, typically earning her a smack on the head from Mio, she overall has good intentions and has the Light Music Club's best interest at heart. She chose to play the drums due to not wanting to use her fingers to play other instruments and cites Keith Moon as her musical inspiration.
