Who'd be your ideal lead character?

A fun loving, fast talking, street smart, upbeat lead who's NOT a thief. There's this weird rule in the Final Fantasy universe that says if you're upbeat and charismatic, you automatically have to be a thief. I'm looking at you Zidane and Yuffie. Edit: Edge too!

Gwelle
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Class: Red Mage

Well travelled, and highly educated, Gwelle comes from a prestigious family that spared no expense in her education. However her Father was a tyrant, hellbent on molding her into the perfect leader to take over the family business, and her Mother was a useless lush. Gwelle, being taught from a young age to take advantage of people, studied both black and white magicks, swordplay, along with more practical applications on her Father's dime and set off into the world to see what else there is out there besides the upper crust once she was done. Her family did not appreciate the betrayal, hiring bounty hunters to bring her back.

I dunno, something I wrote off the top of my head. Needs work, but I'd kill to have a happy, upbeat, skillful female Red Mage lead. Terra and Celes were too melancholy.

@Madsiur your character reminds me a bit of Agrias from Final Fantasy Tactics. I also really enjoy strong female leads. Particularly of the Knight class.
