Current Status (11/12/10): Congrats to TheO's own Demiyah for getting nine of the ten characters! Yay! ^o^

Here are the answers:
1) Vanille from Final Fantasy XIII
2) Yorda from ICO
3) Talim from Soul Calibur
4) Yukino from Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou/His and Her Circumstances (I would've accepted KareKano as well)
5) Utena from Shoujo Kakumei Utena/Revolutionary Girl Utena
6) Misato from Neon Genesis Evangelion
7) KOS-MOS from Xenosaga
8) Haruhi from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu/The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
9) Sana from Kodomo no Omocha/Child's Toy/Kodocha (Why "Kodocha" is the official English title, I don't understand)
10) Mai from Mai-HiME

All righty, guys (and girls)! It's time to guess the characters again...all-female cast version! ^o^ This list required a bit more thought to come up with than the guys', haha.

It's the same as before. All the characters are from an anime or a video game. If you (think you) know at least eight of them, note me at dA with both the character names and the titles of the anime/games they're from. It's quantity over quickness, so if "A" gets 8 correct and "B" later gets 9 correct, "B" will still win. But if everyone gets the same number of characters correct, whoever noted me first will get it. I will run this for a week or until someone gets all 10, whichever comes first. ^^ BTW, if you get some wrong, you can still submit new guesses; there's no penalty for misses.

Again, the prize is a free single-character sketch commission. <3

And of course I'll post all the answers when this is over. ^^
