Top five Claymore warriors?

This is such a hard question to answer that I had to re-read lots of volumes of Claymore before coming to a conclusion. My answers are based on how I feel now but I will probably change my mind later on haha. Thanks for the question!

1.) Teresa because she's so cool and amazing and I love how much she loves Clare. I'm obsessed with her as a character but also her fighting style is so cool because of how unique it is. It's not particularly flashy or cool-looking but it's so cohesive with the rest of the techniques. Getting off topic but I love how the idea of yoma power in Claymore allows for so many techniques. With a lot of manga it just has a character yell out the name of their magic technique and no explanation but in Claymore the techniques make a lot of sense with the world-building.

2.) Clare. I love how she's rebellious and almost childish and very emotional but it's all beneath such a calm surface. Her relationship with Teresa and all her comrades makes me cry. I love initially she's weak because she's only quarter-yoma, but she becomes strong due to her relationships with those around her. The techniques she learned from Ilena, Rafaela and Flora all help her, and although Jean's block prevented her from awakening, it allowed Teresa to awaken, making her even stronger than ever. Her strength being due to all her bonds with her comrades is so amazing.

3.) Helen and Deneve. Putting them together because they come as a package. You can't separate them. I love how they both seemed like arseholes when they first met Clare and they kinda of are but they're still lovely people and very important to Clare. I love how in Claymore, female characters can be loud and annoying (Helen) and straight-talking to the point of seeming mean (Deneve) and they're still loveable, amazing characters. I also love how perceptive and clever Deneve is.

4.) Jean. Obviously the doomed yuri and the self-sacrifice, but a small detail about her character I like is when she introduced herself to Clare, she only said her name, not her rank, and later when Helen and Deneve ask them her rank, she says her name first. Just shows how she cares much more about her comrades as people, not their skill.

5.) Galatea. She is so sassy it's amazing. She's strong and she knows it. Her technique is really cool as well as her personality.

Rereading Claymore now is just thinking, damn, what a cool manga this was. An action manga with a mainly female cast, a rarity even now, and while not every character is developed thoroughly and the similar appearances do get confusing sometimes (particularly towards the end), you still get to know a variety of personalities and get to enjoy said personalities interacting with each other and developing some intriguing dynamics and relationships.

The bond between Clare and Teresa. The hatred (?) between Roxanne and Cassandra. The camaraderie between Helen and Deneve. The respect between Miria and Tabitha. The loyalty of Jean. The haunting of Ophelia. I could go on and on and granted, there are a lot of characters and relationships that I thought could've been fleshed out more; for example, the developing maternal bond between Miata and Clarice was something that I would've liked to have been shown more before their final fight against the awakened being. Their ending was beautifully written but rang emotionally hollow for me, because it felt like Clarice grew a lot between the last time we saw her and the final fight, but that growth was all off-screen.

I could nitpick at other weaknesses in the writing, but none of that changes my opinion that ultimately, Claymore is a great achievement of a story and I wish we had more like it.
