Here's something for the RPG fans. Some like her more than Yuna. I wonder why.

From Wikipedia:
Ashelia or Ashe B'nargin Dalmasca (アーシェ・バナルガン・ダルマスカ, Āshe Banarugan Darumasuka?) is a nineteen year-old Hume princess fighting to liberate her kingdom, Dalmasca, from the Archadian Empire. The only child of King Raminas and the sole heir to the throne, she married Rasler Heios Nabradia shortly before Archadia's invasion of Dalmasca. Her husband died in the battle to protect Nalbina Fortress (on the border of fellow Nabradia, Rasler's home state), making Ashe a young widow.
Though their people believed that their marriage was political, they actually loved each other, evident as she still grieves for him and still wears her wedding ring two years after his death. She was thought to have committed suicide, but took on the alias, Amalia (アマリア, Amaria?), to serve as the leader of the Resistance before joining the group. Her intention on getting revenge on Archadia, for the horrors its militant forces had committed on her people, was manipulated by the Occuria to reinforce their rule over Ivalice.
Along the course of the story, the Occuria created an image of the late Rasler to lead Ashe wherever they needed her to go. In their encounter, the Occuria offered her Nethicite to rule as another Dynast-King, and conquer Ivalice at their stead. At the final moment, however, Ashe rejects the Occuria's offer and declined to use the Nethicite. Ashe acknowledges Larsa's intention to stop the war between the two empires, and finally makes her way to Vayne in the Sky Fortress Bahamut to end it.

finally a female lead in an FF game that's not whiny and/or spineless!
