25. Claudine Saijou

Anime: Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight

If you’ve seen Starlight Revue, you’ll know what makes Claudine Saijou a compelling character.

Yes, she’s a perfectionist. But this comes from an earnest motivation: Claudine truly wants to be the top Stage Girl.

Her competitive nature isn’t annoying by any means.

In contrast, Claudine is inspiring.

She’s proof that you can never (and should never) be complacent.

To reach and stay at the top of your game, you have to keep pushing yourself. Even if other people don’t have to exert as much effort to get in the same lane. A life lesson for us all, I suppose.

Her fighting spirit is certainly commendable.
