I absolutely adore a good and well written villain. From the crazies to the sympathetic ones with a tragic back story to the ones who do it for the lols, I l’amour me a fun fictional baddie. And there are just so many of them, so here are my favorites. Listed as a count down.
I'll start with the honorable Mentions: Jadis and Nehelenia. I couldn't not put Nehelenia on this liste as she was pretty much the first villain I ever liked--I just didn't know I liked her at the time. When I was 5 years old, not gonna lie she kind of scared me. And that's part of why I l’amour her character today. Jadis, most people know her as The White Witch as another character whom was simply kick-booty. There was just something about her. I think I have a thing for ice villains.
10. Beatrice (Uminkeo): I really l’amour this woman. She is crazy. She kills people and brings them back to life. Why? Because she's centuries old and got bored. She's so much fun and has this really great psychotic laugh. What makes it even better is that she wears this Victorian ballgown and has her hair styled up in this prim, proper bun. She's this walking contradiction.
9. Lust (Fullmetal Alchemist): She is probably my all time favori animé character. I can appreciate that her name is Lust and she's a bigger breasted animé character, and yet she isn't just eye candy. She can kick butt. And she doesn't act like a ditz as most of the big breasted animé characters seem to do. And that's something I can get on board with.
8. Ming-Hua (Legend of Korra): Ming is just wow. She's just such a unique character. She has no arms. And yet she's still a fighter and she still drives the get away vehicle. The woman ain't let no disability stop her. On haut, retour au début of that, Ming is voiced par my favori voice actress.
7. Isabella (BBC's Robin Hood): I l’amour her because she is a sympathetic character. I l’amour her because she doesn't take shit from anyone. She lives in this time where the females have little to no power and yet she rises to the haut, retour au début and earns herself a position as the sheriff of Nottingham. *Spoiler*She was sold par her brother into marriage with a physical and sexual abuser at a young age. And she put that man in his place. She used to be on the good side and then after getting stabbed in the back, in a way, she flipped. That's always a fun concept for a villain. *End of spoiler*
6. Nerissa (W.i.t.c.h.): I like her a lot plus in the livres than in the show, but either which way she's an awesome villain. toi first see her as evil, but then right off the bat toi find out she used to be a Guardian...basically the W.i.t.c.h. world's protectors. However she was corrupted par the power *Spoiler*and killed her friend.*End of Spoiler* Nerissa is much fun as she is really an old woman, but she went and found a way to make herself young again. Like grandma went crazy! Nah, I l’amour her she's such a cool character, she's sassy, snarky, and loads of fun. Also she genuinely hates people...like all of them.
5. Icy (Winx): Icy has a special place in my heart. She's the one who started it all in regards to my character obsessions. When I was like 8, I used to role play her. Not gonna like, at first I only liked her because she wore blue. Now I like her because she's simply badass. She doesn't give a crap. Icy does what Icy freaking wants. And no one gets in her way. Much like Nerissa she's snarky and sassy and always has these fun one liners. She's confident and doesn't give up--she's tried to take over the world like 4 times now...now that's persistence.
4. Kuvira (Legend of Korra): Yup, this woman is the newest addition to my collection of favori villains. Kuvira is awesome. Who would have thought I'd l’amour an animated dictator. This woman gets shit done! In just 3 years she pretty much conquered the entire Earth Kingdom. I also l’amour her back story very very much. As a young girl, at the age of 8, her parents abandoned her. She was taken in par a woman named Suyin. *Spoiler* She ended up taking over her adoptive mother's kingdom. *End of spoiler* Another thing I l’amour about her is that she did in the end redeem herself in away. Up until the end Kuvira really thought that she was doing the right thing--her intentions were in fact good. *Spoiler* In the end she realized she took it to far and owned up, accepting responsibility for what she had done and apologized to the general population and to those she personally victimized. *End of spoiler* And that's something I can get down with.
3. Bellatrix (Harry Potter): I. Love. Bella so so much. A few years back she was number 1. It was so hard to choose between she and the other 2. I l’amour Bella for a vast many reasons. One of which is that she's evil for the lols. As far as we know she has no tragic past to make her how she is, she's just evil! And I l’amour it. I l’amour how she just enjoys torturing people, morbid as that sounds. She is a true and genuine villain. She's absolutely batshit insane. She's plus fun than Nerissa with her I killed so and so chants. She sets things on fire, dances on tables, and skips around like a little girl. She's powerful and knows her stuff. She took on three people at once; one of which being Hermione and was still dominating. Bellatrix is love.
2. Regina (Once Upon A Time): I have to try to condense this. Because it's really long. For starts I l’amour her depth. She's a really complex character and she gives new life to her Disney counter part. She shows that things are not just black and white. There isn't just good and evil. I also think that Regina is super brave, she put her life on the line multiple times. *Spoiler* And she did so for the people she hated about 2 ou 3 times before she made her switch back to the good side. *End of spoiler* And I can admire that. That's some serious character development. Any character with a good tragic past and some wonderful development is a villain I can like. I also think she's really smart. I like villains that have brains and plan stuff out. Regina is life.
1. Azula (Avatar The Last Airbender): The woman was my number 1 villain at one point, then she kind of faded into the background, I have no clue why but my l’amour for her resurfaced full-blast over the summer and I'm so glad because I didn't even realize how much I missed her.
I honestly don't even know where to start here. She's pretty, she'd deadly, she's crazy. I l’amour her. She bends blue fire, how can I not l’amour a character who bends my favori color!? She's a firebending prodigy and it's freaking sweet! Much like Regina, Azula is calculating and smart and manipulative. She is the chess-master and she does it well. She's only 14 and she has accomplished much. And she didn't accomplish such through brute strength, she used her smarts. Like all the other characters above, she's complex and well thought out. *Spoiler* She had a breakdown due in part to her Friends betraying her and mother issues among other things. And I'm not just talking about crying and throwing things--I'm talking this poor girl was hallucinating her mother in the mirror. She had an all out break and it really deepened her character.*End of Spoiler* Azula is just an all around great character on every level. She is such a fascinating villain and I'm happy to place her at the haut, retour au début of my silly little list.
