Anime Heroines Tournament Quarterfinals

On September 17, I started yet another anime characters tournament, this time with heroines. As usual it is set up just like the playoffs in sports. Characters from My Story are in here too and if you haven't already, please read Round 1. Below is the bracket I've worked out and what I've narrowed it down to! Sorry if the words are small and blurry!


Characters
Shana (Shakugan no Shana)
A flame haze said to be most powerful and feared by the Crimson Denizens, this has allowed Shana to defeat many enemies and earn a place in our tournament. She is known as "Flaming-Hair, Blazing-Eyed Hunter." Sorry, Fate/Stay fans but Shana just barely edges out Saber.


VS

Annabelle "Angel" Ahrimo (My Story)
On the outside Angel may look thin, beautiful, and not much of a fighter but her intelligence, adaptability, cat powers, and skills with weapons and martial arts make her a worthy opponent. While Angel does not like harming or killing others she is not afraid to stand her ground and protect the ones she loves.


Asuka Langly (Evangelion)
The Eva pilot for the Evangelion Project who pilots the Evangelion 02. She is a child prodigy with a college degree at just 14. She does everything well lets it be known. This one could've gone either way but Asuka just barely beats Morgiana.


VS

Masami Kobayashi (My Story)
Another heroine form my story, Masami is one badass heroine with her good looks, athleticism, and skills with martial arts and weapons. While she has no powers she more than makes up for it and like her cousin, Takeshi, Masami will also protect those she loves even at the cost of her life.


San/Princess Mononoke (Princess Mononoke)
San is probably the most badass lead female I've come across. San was abandoned by her parents and raised by wolves. Her strong hatred for humans along with her wolflike instincts as well as her fighting skill, speed, strength, agility, and athleticism make her a powerful contender among our heroines.


VS

Boa Hancock (One Piece)
A Shichibukai and captain of the Kujia Pirates, she is also the Empress of the Amazon Tribe on the Isle of Woman. While she detests world government she wants to keep her Shichibukai title. She at the cursed "mero-mero" fruit giving her the ability to turn anyone she thinks is beautiful into stone.


Nina Moriko (My Story)
Nina may look like a thin, dainty, flower at 5'3" (160 cm) and 105 lbs (48 kg) full grown, but like most tsundere's she's fierce and mighty. Her owl powers, strength, agility, athleticism, and skills with her crossbow and darts give a spot in this tournament. Nina is strong-willed and able to take on opponents larger than herself.


VS

Nausicaa (Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind)
The Princess of the Valley of the Wind, Nausicaa is smart, resourceful, and a skilled swordsman. A windrider who can use the wind well and flies a "Mehve," a glider with an engine. Nausicaa strives to stop mass killing, suffering, and destruction.


Overview
If there's someone who you think should be an honorable mention, please comment. Also, read Round 1 as well. Check back later for the results. In the future I will probably do more tournaments with tsunderes and love interests, as well as some possible future reviews and eventually to My Story.
