As my 5th and last waifu, I claim
Hoshino Ruri, the
Electronic Fairy from
Martian Successor Nadesico.
Like the other girls I've chosen, she too stands between two worlds, is more to her than meets the eye and plays against the stereotype while being an archetype herself. In her case, the type is the Yamato Nadesico, and while being softly spoken, gentle and feminine - especially once into her teens - she can be almost bluntly honest and straight-forward.
What particularly struck me about her demenaur was that while her extraordinary abilities are very much a part of her, she never lets them go to her head and is also aware of just how fucked up her childhood was and is ambivalent about whether she had the better deal.
