I can see quite a few characters possibly working for you, but I can see some adult!Taeko Okajima from Only Yesterday (info); Seita from Grave of the Fireflies (info, some more info there but there are MAJOR SPOILERS); Nausicaä from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (info, Yay! She actually has a detailed wiki! ♥); Sparrowhawk/Ged from Tales from Earthsea (info); and Seiji from Whisper of the Heart (info, more info). I think I'm leaning the most towards a Nausicaä vote though, especially after refreshing my memory of her character thanks to that wiki! XD Personally, I always thought of her as being intelligent and intellectual...and Nausicaä is definitely compassionate, stubborn, places a lot of importance on being fair and firm in her beliefs...as well as someone who is a very capable fighter in her own right when she feels that she has to be! I think your Positive Traits fit Nausicaä really well in particular: "intelligent, compassionate, witty, determined, loyal, creative"...Actually, how Nausicaä is described right on the

Well...Breyzy pretty much said all of the characters I was thinking of being possible fits for you for this theme! XD Actually, I'm kind of surprised she said Nausicaä overall since that was the character I was leaning the most towards voting you even more I opening this application (so at least I know I wasn't really off on that front then

Now that I've seen more of these movies, of the characters I know I was thinking Nausicaä as well. I do think she's a bit... over-emotional, which I know is one of your negatives, but at times she's over-over-emotional, lol. While she's really friendly around those she knows, she is quieter at first, like when she crashes down with that guy she is a bit "..." towards him until later on. She's pretty obvious with her emotions, is both intelligent and intellectual (in that she's genuinely curious about the world), compassionate, sees things from different perspectives... She understands the reasons that imperialistic nation had (at least at first, when she orders her people to stand down), but still disagrees with them since she also knows the truth behind how the world they're in in... and you could argue she even understands the bugs to a degree, heh. She really hates hurting others, but does a couple of times throughout when she becomes temperamental. Stubborn and opinionated also lend itself to being impatient with people in her

Since I have such a limited knowledge of Ghibli characters, my vote is bound to be less impressive then the ones above me... But I could see all the characters mentioned and maybe The Baron from The Cat Returns. (But its been so long since I saw that movie that I could be 100% wrong there XD) I think that a Nausicaä vote is probably the best bet though after seeing the wall of text that supports it in your comments XD As a whole Nausicaä seems like one of the more intelligent/intellectual characters in the Ghibliverse, but I could also see her being much more snarky and relaxed once she's become comfortable in her surroundings. Stubborn, over-emotional, and temperamental seem like traits that could fit Nausicaä particularly well... But despite these negatives she seem like she's compassionate, witty, determined, loyal, and creative! Nausicaä doesn't seem like a pessimist but she's possibly a mix of Optimistic, idealistic, and realistic... And I think she's reserved, cautious, calm, and persistent when a situation is particularly
