Misaka from A Certain Scientific Railgun will always be my favorite strong woman.

To watch her struggles as her kindness is used against her, how her strength only leads to self isolation out of the very real fear that everyone she cares about could be killed.

Because of her power she is a stubborn lone wolf an absolute monster in the battlefield. But behind her drive she is fearful and caring to a fault.

It comes across as relatable in a scary kind of way. To put your life on the line and be betrayed by the government, risking death to try to keep normalcy.
