Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII, who I hated first because I could understand all too well how her mind worked, and who kept challenging me and making me think even as I tried to settle for disliking her. So I started thinking why and realized that it was because she was a flawed, sympathetic being who also had a lot of strength. Then there was no turning back.
Lana Lang from Smallville, who I hated because I couldn't get a grip of her. She spent most of her time on the show more as an idea than as a human being, but there was potential in her that was going unused over and over again. When they finally started using it, the human being she was wasn't very likable. But she finally drew me in.
Buffy Summers from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, who I first encountered when she had been torn out of Heaven and just went through the motions, and identified with her so much that it hurt. She was my hero for just living through what she experienced, and after catching up with other seasons I realized that she was even bigger than that.
Veronica Mars from her self-titled show, who was tough and bitter and as far from a nice girl as you could get. One might have even called her a bitch. She got a lot of crap for that, only never in my eyes. I only wish her own show had done her more justice than it did.
Amber Volakis from House MD, who knew what she wanted and didn't take crap from anybody, and was an awesome girlfriend to a man who allows others to lead him around. Saying more would be spoiling, but I wished so much more for her.
I would also like to second some love for Ana-Lucia, who was flawed and who screwed up regularly, but who, in the end, took responsibility of her actions and made up for them. That's a lot more than I can say a majority of characters out there, and I still miss her.
