Okay, completely at random I'm going to pick .....(drumroll please).....
Illyria, from Angel,
played by Amy Acker, who was playing Fred, who got screwed over and became host to the GodKing Illyria, who wore really hot, feminine, yet not overtly sexual clothes, and had great lines. She was the most powerful character on the show, possible of all of Joss Whedons super powered girls, on all his shows, but still fragile, weak at times, but ALWAYS awesome, and often hilarious.
I can not express my love for her character enough. I was SO tempted to buy season 5 of Angel-JUST for her! I don't own any other Angel(or Buffy for that matter). I don't ususally like stick figure women, but Illyria, (and Fred don't/)doesn't make a big(ha ha, pun) deal out of it. She eats, doesn't excercise constantly.... Freds gift was her mind and her intellect, Illyria is the power of a God, her strength, wisdom and insight are her weapons.
Did I mention the great lines!?
Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence.
I'd like to keep Spike as my pet
Illyria: When the world met me, it shuddered, groaned. It knelt at my feet.
Spike: "Dear Penthouse, I don't normally write letters like this, but-"
To never die and to conquer all - that is winning.
To win a war, you must serve no master but your ambition.
My name. You would presume to speak my name? Because I am returned in the body of a human, you think you can speak to me. It's disgusting.
In my time, nightmares walked among us. Walked and danced, skewering victims in plan sight, laying their fears and worst desires out for everyone to see. This to make us laugh.
I lived seven lives at once. I was power in the ecstasy of death. I was god to a god. Now... I'm trapped on a roof... just one roof, in this time and this place with an unstable human who drinks too much whiskey and called me a Smurf.
I really like all of Joss Whedon's crazy/prophetic women-Drusilla, River, Illyria, so on, so on.
