19. Dola

Anime: Laputa: Castle in the Sky

Dola is legendary.

At first, she seems like the antagonist. But her and her merry band of air pirates join our protagonists in confronting Colonel Muska and finding Laputa.

Despite her motives being material, wanting to colonialize and pillage the Castle in the Sky for its fortunate resources, she ultimately changes her ways and becomes a valuable ally.

Her upfront attitude, innately motherly nature, and soft-heart is endearing and unforgettable.
