Okay, that's it.

Tell me something awesome about a woman you love in any fandom. Wax poetic. I want to hear people talk about what they love about female characters. And try to pick female characters or women in RPF who haven't already gotten love so we can spread it around.

And no bashing other people's comments!

You know what? I'm picking Boo. Yeah, okay, she's a very tiny woman. Who cares? She's silly and fun and adorable, and looking at an icon of her always makes me feel better, and she learns how to be brave right before our eyes. I heart that so much that I really wish I had the time to rewatch Monsters Inc. before I leave for work, but I don't, damn it.

Now you go. :)

EDIT: Guys, if you want to do more than one character, go nuts. The more, the merrier, right? \o/

Probably something few people have read but I vote for the character of Ann Claybourne in Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy. She's the woman I found out I wanted to be when I grew up after I grew up. The storybook world needs more grumpy geologists.

Also, if we can pick more than one (and yay for being able to):
Elizabeth Moon, who is a fantastic author, and her character of Paksenarrion from the self-titled series. A seriously kick-ass female mercenary who does all the adventuring and saving the day without worrying about whether it'll make boys like her or not.

Ohh yes, Paks. So sweet and so asskicking.
