I didn't think about Rance's mancrush on Rick relative to Ho Raga/Nikkou. That's great.

The Kanami/Nikkou one is hands down the biggest stretch, but here's my logic with my choices for Sill, Kanami and Maria:

Sill isn't really heroic in any way. She's a good person, and she's always worried and upset whenever Rance does something bad, but she never makes any attempt at stopping him and has no real drive to do anything heroic beyond following him along on his adventures.

Kanami also frowns on Rance's behavior, but is perfectly willing to kidnap and murder for her master should they order her to. She also only ever takes part in the adventures because Lia forces her to. One again, not really heroic at all.

With the exception of IV, Maria always ends up running into Rance by coincidence during the adventures. She also organize the Liberation Army entirely out of the goodness of her heart and overall expresses much more free will and individuality in her actions than Sill does. (she's still pretty meh though)

Nikkou is overall a noble and heroic person, but was motivated by her desire to avenge her parents instead of simply being a good person like British was, making her less of a genuine hero than he was.
