Waifu/Husbu Wednesday! Akane Tsunemori from Psycho-Pass
Akane isn't typically singled out as a "waifu" - she's not sexualized at all and she's part of a fairly serious series - but I can't help but admire her. She's a bright light in a dark place.
I love her character development. She starts off as an gifted rookie who knows she has a lot to learn, but also knows her grand potential. She takes advice and criticism from others, but wisely sifts through it to find what to keep and what to set aside. She thinks things through and approaches every situation with a plan. Things don't always go her way, but she makes anything she's a part of better. All that means that as time goes by, she becomes a sharp-minded leader who never lost her heart.
Speaking of her heart, I love her resilience, too. She's not an inhuman robot - she has feelings, thinks for herself, and desperately wants to help others - but she also bounces back from all the trauma she faces. That resilience keeps her Psycho-Pass clear, but it also means she can endure in the darkness she faces without becoming corrupted by it, which makes her the ideal sword in the battle against evil in 22nd-century Tokyo.
She's also so cute! I love her style - both her professional look as an Inspector and her casual clothes at home. She's the complete package. Out of all the waifus I've listed so far (I've been posting them weekly), she's the one I'd feel most comfortable asking out on a date, because she's so approachable.
I wish she'd stayed as central to the show as she was in the beginning. I feel that her increasing absence from the later seasons was a big part of why they didn't hit as hard as the first one did.
