I'm looking for new suggestions too.

Actually (upon refresh) Peach from Mario (before they made her all independent later on) is a really good choice.

Eurydice. That's my vote.

Aurora

unless to literal of a resprentation for you

Eos (ē'os) [key], in Greek religion and mythology, goddess of dawn; daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia. Every morning she arose early and preceded her brother Helios into the heavens. Her husband was Astraeus, by whom she bore the stars and the winds-Notus, the south wind; Boreas, the north wind; and Zephyr or Zephyrus, the west wind. Because Eos made love to Ares, Aphrodite cursed her with an insatiable desire for young men. Among her many lovers were Tithonus and Cephalus. The Romans called her Aurora.

I'd say Snow White, for the longevity.

Peach is a close second. Hardly anybody has any idea of what she's for, except providing the KoopaKids.

Sadly, whatshername from the Twilight books is pretty high on the fame meter these days. Also, completely incapable of happiness or apparently even survival without the approval/presence of her obsession boyfriend.

Ooh. Very very good point. (Her name is Bella. Which is apparently going to be the most used girl's name in the US in about 5 years.)

Scarlett O'Hara? That's the first one that popped into my head.
