Zelda Williams
The daughter of the late great Robin Williams, Zelda is awesome through and through. Not only is she named after the legendary princess of Nintendo fame, she is more than willing to dress up as her favourite Nintendo characters, play the games and even lend her voice to a few nerd classics suck as Legend of Korra. Plus she was bragging about her Lord Of The Rigs Extended Marathon and that is just something I think many of us can relate too.

Marvel Comics even brought her onboard to help write for Dani Moonstar, a fictional Northern Cheyenne superheroine.
