Ponyo

Ponyo is the deuteragonist of the 2008 Studio Ghibli film Ponyo. She is a little girl who was originally a fish who became human, and then befriended a boy named Sōsuke.

Why She Rocks

 * 1) She has a very cute appearance, both as a fish and human.
 * 2) Her personality is also adorable, especially when it comes to her bond with Sōsuke for most of the film.
 * 3) Ponyo's love of ham is entertaining, even in the scene where she and Sōsuke are served ramen with ham.
 * 4) Her use of magic is useful, which is also how she managed to stay human, and turn a toy boat into a real boat.
 * 5) Not just Sōsuke, but she is kind to other people, like when she tried to give soup to a baby.
 * 6) The iconic scene in the film where she runs across the huge tidal wave and Sōsuke notices her.
 * 7) Ponyo has a dislike of her father, which is why she decides to live with Sōsuke and Lisa.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Ponyo does a couple of gross/mean things in the film, such as moving her toes like hands, licking some blood on Sōsuke's finger (which is how she became a human), spraying an elderly woman in the face, and rubbing her face across a baby's face.
 * 2) She looks rather weird when she looks like a chicken creature.
