15. Marika Katou

Anime: Bodacious Space Pirates

Marika has quite the unique background, at least as far as this list is considered.

She’s anything but bloodthirsty, savage of power-hungry. In fact, she was just a normal high schooler.

That is, until she was approached by two men asking her to lead a band of pirates because her father used to occupy that role. She accepts, and although she’s still far from what I would picture a pirate to be, she did her job.

Goes to show you that nepotism can even get you a captain’s title.
