Hmm. This is a tricky one. One springs to mind right off the bat, but most relationships that do disappoint me are from what I perceive as mutual incompatibility, not just one side. But I'll do my best:

1) Hermione Granger. (Harry Potter) I don't hate Ron - however, I don't think he makes a good lasting match for Hermione. Their bickering too often to me read as trying to deliberately wound the other person - and while I understand there had to have been much off-page interaction, it would have been nice to see some hint that they ever apologized to one another after. (Then again, even if they did, they just kept at the mutual barbing anyway, so perhaps that's moot.) I don't think Hermione would forever tolerate Ron's utter lack of ambition and seemingly only appreciating her when she does something for him; I also didn't care for the gimmicky book he used to win her in Deathly Hallows. How about ACTUALLY being a better man instead of parroting some tricks and just PRETENDING to be one? Ugh.

2) Elphaba Thropp. (Wicked) ( ... )

Protagonists:

1) Leia (Skywalker) Organa, Star Wars: What's really to say here - how many of us wanted to be Leia? Beautiful, feisty, intelligent, determined, snarky. I have an even greater appreciation for her after the prequels, seeing how much of Anakin and Padmé are in the twins.
2) Padmé Amidala Skywalker, Star Wars: Like her daughter, beautiful, intelligent, and determined, but a gentler spirit than Leia. Though her own fate is tragic, her undying faith being passed down to her son is what saves Anakin and restores balance to the Force in the end.
3) Katniss Everdeen, The Hunger Games: Self-reliant, clever, and brave, but understandably very hard and prickly - sometimes to a fault. But even through everything she goes through, she is still able to realize that hope is necessary for human survival.
4) Sarah Connor, Terminator franchise: Goes through an amazing journey, from timid bumbling waitress to warrior mom raising the future of humanity. She's not a warrior who just happens to have given birth - being a warrior and ( ... )
