iMacs, eMacs, and iPods rock! They cost so much, and you can't buy them in any old place, but they rock!

Now, here's another un-PC thing I'm about to say. There are WAY too many whiny chicks on Toonami.

I know, I know. There are a plethora a strong female figures that have appeared on Toonami in its over five year run. You have SARA aboard the Absolution, the ladies of Tenchi Muyo; Twilight Suzuka and Aisha Clan-Clan on Outlaw Star; Batgirl, Poison Ivy, Det. Renee Montoya, and Harley Quinn on Batman; Supergirl, Maxima, Live Wire, Mercy Graves, and Lois Lane on Superman; Max, Comissioner Barbera Gordon, and Inque on Batman Beyond; Dot Matrix, Hexidecimal, Mouse, Daemon, and AndrAIa on ReBoot; R. Dorothy Wainwright on The Big O; Lucrencia Noin and Lady Une from Gundam Wing; the Sailor Soldiers on Sailor Moon (with one notable exception); Cheetara and Pumyra on Thundercats; Lisa Hayes on Robotech; Android 18 and Videl on Dragon Ball Z, and Lady Kira from Ronin Warriors, among others whom I neglected to mention. They all kick butt in their own ways and have a notable impact whenever you see them on the screen.

Then there are the whiners, the girls you love to hate every time they pop on the screen. These are the girls you just want to sock in the mouth everytime that they're on. Not surprisingly, they are more often than not the lead female characters in their established shows and usually get most of the screen time. They are, in no particular order of annoyance, Relena on Gundam Wing, Melfina on Outlaw Star, Mina from Ronin Warriors, Minmei from Robotech, the female cast of DBZ, Sailor Moon herself (to a extent), and Jessie Bannon from Jonny Quest (though I have major reservations for putting her in this list, I'll explain later). However, to deal with the whininess like I do, you have to understand where they're coming from.

If you can.

The problem with Relena Dorlan/Peacecraft is that somewhere in her mind, she thinks she lives in a fairy tale world. In a way, she does. Relena has lived a sheltered life being related to ambassadors knowing only the life of love, luxury, and privilege, blinded by the chaotic nature of the world. Her world was rocked by an appearance of a dark knight, a "little prince" who has fallen from the stars. She fell in love with this fallen knight and watched him just walk away. With this admiration comes borderline obession, which began almost immediately after she saw him join her school. Of course, Relena wouldn't let a little thing like her "knight" wanting to kill her get in the way. Still, when she becomes a princess, Relena continued to look outside her window, calling out for a hero in the morning light. Afterall, in the end, love supposed to conquer all, right? Of course not, that only happens in fairy tales.
