2. Amaterasu (Okami)
The Shinto goddess of the sun. In the body of a white wolf, not dissimilar to the one that banished the demon Orochi some 100 years ago. Golly, what a bizarre coincidence then that someone should open Orochi's seal on the centennial of his defeat.
Well, Orochi starts sucking the life force out of neighboring Kamiki Village and Sakuya, the village's guardian is forced to call down Ammy to defeat the demon. Armed with a celestial brush and accompanied by a sassy tinyman, Amaterasu ventures forth to rid the world of the evil that plagues it once more.
Despite being a literal god, Ammy is incredibly human. Or animal. Or...forget it, she's easy to relate to. Even as a dog. She's incredibly emotive. Dog emotive. As a goddess, she displays a number of motherly qualities, including gentility and kindness.
For being pretty much a dog who can understand people, she's decidedly more complex than most video game characters.
Best moment: Going back in time and changing the past. When Shiranui the white wolf beat Orochi, it sacrificed itself to defeat the demon. Well, Amaterasu rescued Shiranui, so Shiranui returned the favor in the future WHAT.
