Top 10 Hip Hop Love Songs

 Alright so, Love songs in hip hop might not seem like they're too prevalent of a thing, and at times it really can seem like the only thing artists show love for is money, cars, and clothes but that couldn't be further from the truth.  If you look for something hard enough you will often find it, here's 10 songs that I love about love. 

1. Common Sense - I Used to Love H.E.R.
Album: Resurrection
Released: 1994
Sample: George Benson - The changing world 
Favorite lines:
"I met this girl, when I was ten years old
And what I loved most she had so much soul
She was old school, when I was just a shorty
Never knew throughout my life she would be there for me"

A classic, an early example of personification, story telling and plot twists in hip hop story telling, as shown by the ending "cause who I'm talking 'bout, y'all, is hip-hop" letting the listeners know that hip hop is the subject of the song and not a woman as it would appear. A good love song albeit about a culture rather than a person but love is love and you can tell easily that Common (then known as Common Sense) truly loves hip hop and has no problem putting it on record.


2. Lupe Fiasco - Sunshine
Album: Food and Liquor
Released: 2006
Sample: Diana Ross - Friend to Friend
Favorite lines:
"Relationship is just thirty minutes long
It's kinda heavy, maybe a little strong
Gonna take much more than once
Can't trust what each of us say at least for a month
Or two, before I bid you adieu
Do this one thing for me: out of the trillions
Of numbers that's in the world just leave me a few
That lead to you
Won't be longin, I'll see you in the morning
Cool"

Basically the concept of this song is the same as the previous one, it's a song about his love for hip hop. On first listen, or for a few you might think he's talking about a woman as well,  but on further examination it's pretty clear that hip hop is his true love and he expresses that quite well. Now that these two are out of the way though, the next will more traditional in the sense of low so on to the next one.


3. QuEst - Biscayne Blvd
Mixtape: Searching Slyvan
Released: 2014
Sample: The Hics - Lines
Favorite Lines:
"Shit is lookin' shallow on the surface
But feelings get real when you get caught up in the deep end
Sittin' in your car, all we listen to is Nas late nights
We don't even have a reason
Too afraid to ask if you leavin'
I know you got work in the mornin', I don't wanna keep you out late
This love shit feelin' like an outbreak
Plus I keep staring everywhere, swear to god those lips look sweeter than a pound cake"

Easily one of my more recent favorites. In this song unlike the previous two the references are all to an actual woman and not hip hop or anything else. It's clear that he loves her, or might be falling in love with her and that the relationship means something to him. From the hook to the verses to the beat itself, everything just fits and makes you think of past relationships you've had yourself.

4. 2Pac - Do for Love
Album: R U Still Down? (Remember Me)
Released: 1998
Sample: Bobby Caldwell - What You Won't Do for Love
Favorite lines:
"I shoulda seen you was trouble but I was lost, trapped in your eyes
Preoccupied with gettin' tossed, no need to lie
You had a man and I knew it, you told me
Don't worry bout it we can do it now I'm under pressure
Make a decision cause I'm waitin', when I'm alone
I'm on the phone havin' secret conversations, huh
I wanna take your misery, replace it with happiness
But I need your faith in me, I'm a sucka for love"

Not only is it one of my favorite 2Pac songs, it's also one of my favorite hip hop songs about love, as well as my favorite song on entire album it's placed on but I digress, once again this song is a bit different. It's surely about love and a woman at that, but here you find him questioning the faithfulness of the woman and showing that even when you're a celebrity there's the chance that your relationship can still be lost if your partner is not trustworthy or trusting of you.

5. Immortal Technique - You Never Know
Album: Revolutionary Vol. 2
Released: 2003
Sample: Spyro Gyra - Lost and Found
Favorite lines:
"Hold the person that you love closely if they're next to you
The one you love, not the person that'll simply have sex with you
Appreciate them to the fullest extent, and then beyond
Cause you never really know what you got, until it's gone"

Great storytelling, yet again in another aspect of love, this one focused clearly on the whole relationship from the meeting to the tragic end. Descriptive, easy to understand and laid smoothly over a pretty mellow beat, this song is one that just can't be left off the list. Four verses and over seven minutes long, he shows that this relationship was real and had a deep impact on him without a doubt. Vividly he shows you that this woman was his first true love and vice versa, though the unfortunate twisting at the end that they just couldn't be together long but the time they did spend was irreplaceable.

6. Drake - Brand New
Mixtape: So Far Gone
Released: 2009
Sample: None that I know of
Favorite lines:
"This here is on some truthful shit
It seems like everything I do you're used to it
And I hate hearing stories bout who you've been with
That's when I gotta hide what I'm feeling inside
So you still think I am confident and damn
Is this gonna last?
You're up on a pedestal
Are we moving too fast?
Feels like I'm in crazy competition with the past
That's why I gotta ask..."

Now this one here is more of an R&B song I suppose because he doesn't rap on it at all, but I'll still include it since he does both genres and the mixtape it's on can be considered a mixture of both. It's still within the realm of hip hop for that reason. The song itself is great and probably my favorite song from So Far Gone, it's relatable, emotional, and really makes question your own relationship and insecurities. Who hasn't had that thought at one point in a new relationship about how their partner might be comparing them to their ex? What can you bring new to the relationship that the last man/woman hasn't? That's the question this song asks, and the answer is... Up to you to decide.

7. Kendrick Lamar - She Needs Me
Album: Kendrick Lamar EP
Released: 2009
Sample: Dimlite - Byrdshot and Bye
Favorite lines:
"On the red carpet, dress matching his suit, she holding his arm
She waves at her moms and wave at the world, got the world in her palms
Head in the clouds, star gazing, caught her on the stage, a proposal was waiting
He bent down, got on one knee, she looked him in the eye and said she needs me
She needs me, she needs me, she needs me, she needs me
Even if we seem to separate, eventually it’ll come to pass, and she’ll need me
I need her, we need we"

Kendrick tells the story of a relationship of his over the course of the song starting from the beginning, painting the vivid picture of a typical woman that you'd like to be with. Liked by parents, not competitive, dependable, kind, and beautiful. Over the story it shows that these traits make her successful in business, and it then leads her to being in a relationship with a famous actor but once he proposes her love for Kendrick doesn't let her say yes to him. Clearly he's correct when he says "she needs me"

8. Lost Boyz - Renee
Album: Legal Drug Money
Released: 1996
Sample: Janet Jackson - Funny How Time Flies(When You're Having Fun)
Favorite lines:
"She started feeling on my chest
I started feeling on the breasts
And there's no need for me to stress the rest
A yo, I got myself a winner
We sparked a blunt before we ate
And a blunt after we ate dinner
She had a tattoo she only wanted yo to see
But first dim the lights and turn up the Jodeci
I'm like whatever shorty rock
We can swing it like that
Cause on the real this is where it's at"
  
Once again storytelling with a nice description of the relationship from the meeting to the tragic end of it. The woman in question here, same name as the title of the song dies from a shooting, hence the hook "A ghetto love is the law that we live by Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die I reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday Give it up for my shorty" love can be found in the ghetto, but it can be taken away just as quickly due to things such as violence as shown clearly in the track.

9. Charles Hamilton - In Case I Actually Get Her
Mixtape: Well Isn't This Awkward
Released: 2009
Sample: Rihanna - P.S (I'm Still Not Over You)
Favorite lines:
"I don't even know what I'm about to do
But I do know that eyes give out the truth
Lies are mouth pollution
So I gotta figure out a solution
Without abusin'
Everything I am about, so how can I do this
Feels like I'm about to lose it
Girl you got a mouth just use it
Your eyes f*ckin' talk to much
For me to hear you
I think it's time I be near you, in clear view"

From the title to the sample to the hook and everything just screams love song. The mixtape this song is from is properly titled also, "Well Isn't This Awkward" the whole mixtape samples Rihanna songs, and it's pretty much a dedication to his love for Rihanna, although they were never in a relationship, hence titles like "In Case I Actually Get Her" and the title of the mixtape itself. The lyrics paint the picture of a man viewing a woman from afar and hoping to be with her one day and it's something I can relate to myself as well as many others would be able to, so it's definitely one of my favorites.

10.  LL Cool J - Hey Lover
Album: Mr. Smith
Released: 1996
Sample: Michael Jackson - The Lady in my Life
Favorite lines:
"I kissed you softly and you yearned for more
We experienced pleasure unparalleled
Into an ocean of love we both fell
Swimming in the timeless, currents of pure bliss
Fantasies interchanging with each kiss
Undying passion unities our souls
  Together we swim until the point of no control
But it's a fantasy it you won't come true
We never even spoke and your man swear he love you
So I'm gonna keep all these feelins inside
Keep my dreams alive until the right time"

Like the previous song this is once again about a woman he's not in a relationship with, just someone he's simply seen before and is fantasizing about. Starting the story off from when he first sees her to seeing her more often, he sees her from a distance more and more slowly becoming more enamored with her. Seeing her current boyfriend he feels that he's the better option, but he decides not to act on his feelings and to just wait until the right time. Classic LL Cool J.

Top 10 Rpgs

Role Playing Games, also known as RPGs are a very important genre to me, easily one of the most vast and diverse. Definitely one of my favorite genres personally and loved by many. They mix well with almost any other genre due to their seemingly lax requirements to be labeled rpg. Some elements that make up an rpg are things such as:
  • Menus for changing gear/items/tactics and more.
  • A leveling up system to strengthen your character.
  • Having a main character and a party (usually 3-4) they fight alongside.
  • A world that is traversed on foot/vehicle/other mode of faster transportation such as teleportation or flight.
  • Towns/cities to buy/sell/trade aforementioned equipment and items from shopkeepers and other npcs(non playable characters) of other professions that can also assist in your journey, like inn keepers to rest your party and blacksmiths to forge weapons and armor.
Of course those are just a few similarities between RPG games that I've taken notice of, and isn't to be taken as a guarantee. Some games incorporate other ideas of course and some people would prefer not to label with just one name.

That being said let's jump right into the list. Here's some of my favorites in the genre.

Possible spoilers ahead


1. Saga Frontier 2
 
Developed by: Squaresoft
Released: 1999 Japan, 2000 in NA.
Platform: PlayStation
A childhood favorite of mine, probably my all time favorite RPG or at least for the PlayStation system. The negatives I can find in the game are quite few so I'll start with them. First being the actual gameplay could be longer, a lot of time is spent reading dialogue between the characters and not enough time spent playing them (Not a huge negative since the game is very story driven, but people not used to rpgs might not feel the same). Second, the seemingly random time jumps that make you have some characters available for short periods of time while others are there for quite longer. Also the character's age at a given time has an effect on their stats(not inherently bad, it's pretty innovative.) Thirdly, one of the methods of learning techniques is pretty interesting but it can be quite bothersome unless you've previously played and remember how or you're checking up online how to do them. Based on that you might think I'm being hard on it, but no other problems for it are really there. The fighting style is a nice spin on the regular turn based system found in other RPGs. The soundtrack is one of the best for any video game I've ever played hands down. Every song just seems to fit so well within the confines of the event taking place. The characters are diverse and you'll find yourself spending hours just thinking about them and how they're connected to one another, I know I sure did. The main characters in particular feel extremely relatable even though their stories are so dramatic and surrounded in mystery. Recommended to any RPG fan, and for anyone who played the first Saga Frontier but didn't like it much(like myself)this is a big improvement all around.

2. Legend of Mana

 
Developed by: Squaresoft
Released: 1999 in Japan, 2000 in NA.
Platform: PlayStation
 When I think of RPG this is easily one of the first ones that comes to mind. A classic that is a childhood favorite. It's the fourth in the Mana series and the first one for the PlayStation console. Although I've never gotten around to finishing the whole game, (being one of the only very few games on this list that I haven't) it still made quite the impression for the time I did spend playing it. From the vibrant colors and very fitting soundtrack to the gameplay itself almost everything was top notch for me. The only drawback being the plot is pretty much non-linear, a lot of the quests can be done in various orders which is nice to some, but clearly not all. If you don't mind that then this game is a definite recommendation for anyone looking to play a throwback. With it's ability to choose from a male or female protagonist at the beginning, to it's option to choose where on the world map you place each unlocked game area this game has lots of choice for the player. Not to mention the various different partners you can pick from to bring to battle albeit one at a time, also a choice of a pet to join the party as well. A one of a kind game with a well deserved claim to fame.
3. Mass Effect 2
 Developed by: Bioware
Released: 2010 for Xbox 360 and Windows, 2011 for Ps3.
Platform(s): Xbox 360, Ps3 and Windows
The second in the Mass Effect franchise and my favorite as well as many fans of the series. ME2 improved on the problems that many had with the first in order to build a true great sequel that is better than the former. The combat system and inventory system being the main two problems that kept it from being great. This is another one that I just couldn't find many negatives about. It was such an enjoyable experience for me that I wound up beating the game back to back within 3-4 days. The storyline is compelling, you find yourself wondering what's going to happen next, the choices you make being a big part of that. Also the choices you make in the first game carry over so you really feel like you've made a difference in the development of the characters and their relationships. The variety of characters and their strengths gives you good choice of which one to take into combat with you and how to use their skills to make it through the fight. It might be a third person shooter at first glance, but it truly is a good mixture, with things such as the different classes, skill trees, decisions making, intricate plot and more this game surely deserves it's spot among the more typical rpgs.

4. Kingdom Hearts
Developed by: Square
Released: 2002
Platform: PlayStation 2
Up next a game you would find on a lot of people's favorite RPGs list. This game started the Kingdom Hearts series, which went on to be quite successful commercially and has garnered quite the fanbase. Probably the first action RPG for the Ps2 that I've played, and easily worth a spot on the list. It's groundbreaking crossover of Disney and Square characters made it a mash up of epic proportions to many. A title with at least one character that anyone would remember, kids and parents have the Disney side and gamers have the Square side, a great blend. It was the first time ever seeing a character from one video game world join forces with another, and playing it as a kid was one great experience. Having the main character be an original character but having the rest of your party be well known characters was a good decision in order to better immerse yourself into his shoes. You get the feeling that you're the strange new teen saving the world with characters from your childhood like Donald and Goofy. Not to mention the combat system is not exactly the first of it's kind but it's a good one none the less. You get your standard attacks, magic, item usage, and ability to summon some well known Disney characters to fight alongside you. The boss fights are a big draw, from the human sized ones to the ones the size of a house you'll have your hands full finding a good strategy for each and feeling fulfilled once you've done it. There's a reason this game spawned a great sequel in the main series and a few handheld titles as well. One word, innovation.
5. Persona 4 Golden
 Developed by: Atlus
Released: 2012
Platform: PlayStation Vita
The first and only ported game on this list, Persona 4 Golden. Being an enhanced remake of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 for the ps2 it has the same plot and everything else is pretty similar or the same it just includes additional content for the most part. I haven't played any Persona or Shin Megami games before this one so this was my introduction to the series and it impressed me enough to make me want to play the next one in the series as well as earn it a spot on my top RPG list and one of my favorite ps vita games in general. It might appear to be just another typical turn based RPG but it's pretty lengthy playtime, unique characters, mysterious plot twists, and combination of RPG, and social simulation(think final fantasy meets the sims) make it a pretty great game overall. The combat is nothing too different, but why change something that isn't broken? The focus is on the plot and getting to know more about all the characters, which doing so for the characters in your party brings helpful effects during battle. Also has a few different endings based on how you play through and decisions you make, and who doesn't like to make decisions in their games and have them actually count for something am I right? Whether you've played the original Persona 4 for ps2 or not, if you're into RPGs you'll find yourself liking this one and for people who have played it there's more of the same with the added content and changes.

6. Kingdom Hearts 2
Developed by: Square Enix
Released: 2005
Platform: PlayStation 2
The sequel to an earlier game on the list, Kingdom Hearts, KH 2 manages to be an even greater game than it's predecessor. As far as gameplay goes, it's really the same but the developers seem to have took the problems from the first one and made them better. Aspects such as the combat and gummi ship parts were improved upon slightly which is really all that was needed for me. Changes such as the drive forms really make the combat stand out now, but it's not much different and considering how much the first one was liked that's a good thing as there was not much needed change. As the saying goes, don't fix what's broken. Storywise it takes place a bit of time after the first and continues the mission Sora has to be reunited with his friends. New villains stand in his way though, and he gains some new allies(more from Disney games and square games) to combat them. Needless to say between this game, the previous one in the series and all the handheld titles it's lead to KH 3 being one of the most highly anticipated games I've seen yet and not without good reason. Everything you liked about KH is back in KH2, not much more really needs to be said. Definitely recommended, probably my favorite RPG for the Ps2.

7. Pokemon Red/Blue
Developed by: Game Freak
Released: 1996 Japan, 1998 NA.
Platform: Game Boy
The day that Pokemon hit the video game scene is the day that changed the video game industry for years to come. What is there to really say about a game who's success has lead to numerous sequels, copycats, and remakes. Playing the series as a kid is one of my fondest memories of video gaming,  in particular this game as it was the start of it all. It was a bonding agent for children everywhere, trading pokemon, conversations about which ones to catch and train and everyone's personal favorite pokemon.  It took the rock paper scissor element to the next level by having multiple elements, 15 in these games(increasing as the series continued.) Exploring the different weaknesses and strengths of each element type was just part of the fun of the game, roaming the region of Kanto(named after the real world Kanto in Japan) was the other. Every different town had various npcs to talk to and areas to catch different pokemon a which made you want to talk to everyone and explore every inch of the gameworld trying to learn as much as the game had to offer. Truly a game that started a childhood of video gaming for many and inspired people everywhere with the slogan "Gotta catch 'em all."
8. Brave Fencer Musashi
Developed by: Square
Released: 1998
Platform: PlayStation
Out of all the games on this list, this one will most likely be the one that is the least known, at least from what I've seen. I have yet to meet anyone who has also had the joy of playing this game unfortunately. Brave Fencher Musashi is yet another Square game on the PlayStation, made in a time when RPGs were the pretty much the main selling point for PS. This one is no exception, follow the story of Musashi a warrior summoned to the Allucaneet(All U Can Eat) Kingdom(there's a few more naming pun like that throughout the game) in order to save them from the Thirstquencer Empire(see?). Part of it's appeal is it's humorous approach, as well as it's graphics style which at that time was great and still looks good to me now. Musashi is a dual wielding sword fighter with a short stature and an impatient but kind nature and extraordinary strength. Another nice feature is the unique nature of the two swords, they aren't your ordinary blades. One of them lets you temporarily assume the form of an enemy and use it's abilities, which is an interesting function used at times for puzzle solving. The other one, you'll see for yourself if you give the game a chance. It wasn't a huge selling game that lead to numerous sequels and spin offs like some games on the list but it did lead to one sequel for the Ps2 and that one also is worth a playthrough.
Bonus: I just happen to have a video I uploaded years ago with a bit of gameplay. The audio quality is not good but you'll get better idea of the game itself.

9. YS: Memories of Celceta
Developed by: Nihon Falcom
Released: 2012 Japan, 2013 NA, 2014 China
 Platform(s): PlayStation Vita, Windows
Apparently the YS series is pretty popular, at least in Japan it seems, I've never played one until I first got my Vita and was looking for games to get for it. This one was rated pretty highly and I decided to check it out, easily it made it's way to one of my favorite games for the handheld. An Action-RPG(alos known as ARPG) like a few others on the list YS: Memories of Celceta takes place somewhere on the big timeline of YS games dating back to 1987.  Everything you could want in an rpg, multiple playable characters with different fighting styles, a wide map to explorer, quests to complete, and a twisting story line. Not to mention that the main character starts off with amnesia, which is a bit of an overused plot device but it wasn't done poorly in this game so I won't fault it for that. The graphics are good, although you find yourself roaming places that don't look vastly different, it tends to be a variety of this cave or that cave, and this part of the forest or that part of the forest but the other features more than make up for it to me. The soundtrack is fitting and the monsters and characters are diverse and trying to discover 100% of the map is a nice way to spend some time on it, especially for anyone who likes roaming pretty large maps. Overall it's a game that is an enjoyable experience worth playing and leaves me hoping that a sequel comes out soon.

10. Final Fantasy X
Developed by: Square
Released: 2001
Platform: PlayStation 2
An RPG list without a Final Fantasy game just doesn't seem right now does it? Well one of my favorites is FFX, the first of the series for the Ps2. This one took things up a notch with various changes, first and most noticeable is the graphical improvement thanks to the upgrade of consoles. Also it's the first of the series with voice acting, and the facial expressions of the characters can add an extra sense of relatability to them. Then of course there's just the beauty of the game scenery, it really is stunning for a game of that time. There's also an enhanced port for the Ps3/Ps Vita also with the graphics improved even more which is nice for those that don't missed out on the game for Ps2. The combat system is among the list of changes in the series, you get three characters to bring into a battle at once but are able to switch them out during each individual's turn for someone else. That adds on a whole level of strategy for fighting enemies and bosses alike. The Active Time Battle sytem(ATB) was replaced by the Conditional Turn-Based Battle system which pauses the battle and gives you time to make your selections. The game did so well that it was the first of the series to have a direct sequel, Final Fantasy X-2 which takes place some time after X and brings some of the characters back for a second appearance.  These facts along with the deep storyline and developing of the love between two of the main characters really puts it ahead of the rest of the FF franchise for me.


That wraps up my top 10 rpgs, besides Saga Frontier 2 being first, the rest of them are not in order of enjoyment or anything else really besides how they just happened to be typed out.

Top 5 Female Anime Characters

Alright, so who doesn't like the many, many, women of the expansive anime world? From a relatively new character like Neptune from Hyperdimension Neptunia to an old fan favorite like Bulma from the Dragon Ball universe here's 5 of my personal favorites.

Disclaimer

Spoilers included but not marked.


1. Neptune(right)/Purple Heart(left)

 First simply because she's one of the newer ones on my list and she's just awesome all around. From the little known series Hyperdimension Neptunia for PlayStation consoles starting on the ps3. She has a pretty lighthearted and joking personality normally, but once she transforms to her CPU/Goddess form she's quite the formidable adversary and her jokes turn to bravery and other more "heroic" traits. Purple Heart is her name during her transformed state, along with a personality change she also becomes stronger, as well as a change in hair color and height. Being a Goddess, she's also youthful forever with a young woman's physique as Neptune but a more mature body physically in Purple Heart form.

2. Mikasa Ackerman

Another character from a pretty new anime series, Attack on Titan. Mikasa Ackerman has various moments where you just wonder "Can she get any more awesome?!" and for me so far the answer has been yes. Take episode 9 for example where she boldly proclaims (while surrounded by soldiers) that she'll defend Eren when he's accused of treason. Easily one of my favorite scenes and episodes, all throughout the series however she displays bravery, loyalty, and an understanding of the dire situation everyone is placed in. She's also one of the strongest and most skilled fighters in the series, probably #1 as far as the females go.

3. Kallen Stadtfelt
From the popular series, Code Geass up next is Kallen Stadfelt, possessing qualities that define her as a true fighter. Despite being half Japanese and Britannian she decides to join the resistance against Britannia along with he older brother. Once Zero takes over she becomes his #1 member as far as loyalty and overall skill is concerned. One of the best pilots and hand to hand fighters, only rivaled by few. Acting more or less as his bodyguard and even falling in love with his true identity in the process. Even with Zero doing what he did and basically becoming the enemy of the resistance she reluctantly fought against him without holding back, showing her true loyalty to the Japanese in the end.

4. Kyoko Kirigri

 Up next, Kyoko Kirigiri from Danganronpa, again from an anime and video game adaptation as well. The others on the list might have physical fighting locked down tight but Kyoko is a different type of fighter. Someone more relatable to me on a personal level, labeled as the Ultimate Detective she and Makoto do a pretty good majority of the mystery solving for the class. The plot twist that her memories of being a detective were erased is amazing and showed just how much of a threat she was considered to the antagonist's "game". She shows qualities throughout the series that show that even with memories erased she was determined, courageous, and clever enough to succeed. Truly a female protagonist worthy of recognition.
5. Yuno Gasai
 Last but definitely not least Yuno Gasai from Mirai Nikki.(Future Diary)[English Name] Easily one of the more emotionally unstable characters on the list. That does not change the fact that she's at some points single handily the reason Yuki even survives any of the things they go through throughout the series. Her overprotective nature and lack of caring of anyone else besides Yuki and herself lets her turn into a killer, and kidnapper, among other things just to ensure the safety of the one she loves. Once you find out the abuse she suffers at the hands of her parents and the loneliness she must have felt, it can have you wondering if maybe she isn't really the only one to blame for how she's turned out and makes her a much more relatable character in general. The anime itself kept me awake just to see how her story concludes, she's a completely compelling character that I couldn't imagine leaving off the list, despite the wrong she does, she does it for love. Cliche? Maybe a little bit, but still a great character.

That's five of my favorite female characters from anime series I've seen. Do you have any you really like? What do you think about the list? Comment down below.
P.S. This list isn't based on their appearance but based on their actual character. Also it's not in any particular order, just the five in the top.
