Oh, we REALLY liked the 2nd in command to the bad princess. Andy's had interesting comments about his character in the anime versus his character in the original manga, but i can't remember them off the top of my head.
Kiki is the Miyazaki character that resonates most strongly with me. Her struggle to keep up her spirits while trying to find her niche and what she's good at (not to mention her difficulty making friends her own age) speaks pretty directly to me.
Are you a Miyazaki film completist? Don't forget "The Castle of Cagliostro"! It's a Lupin movie so it's pure, silly fun. I keep questioning the plot all the way thru', which i think drives Andy nuts, but there are some nice Miyazaki flourishes in it.
