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/

You've basically described exactly the reasons I loved her so very very much; smart, strong, beautiful, but a real human being who reacts to violence and death in a believable way. That scene in the shower nearly broke my heart the first time.

Massively seconded.

That scene in the shower nearly broke my heart the first time.

I know! During the fight scene I was all, "Wait, she didn't suddenly miraculously learn judo. Also, she's not going to the other end of the Stereotype Scale and having a freakout fit. My usual Bond Movie Formula is being sorely messed with. Please keep it up." ;-)

Then the shower scene, which didn't end with some too-predictable, 'let me react to your obviously shaky mental state by coming on to you' sex scene and yeah, I was hooked.

It also made me like James ten million times more than I already did at that point, because he was behaving like a member of the human race rather than exploiting her in that moment of weakness.

Seriously she was so wonderful, so human. There really do need to be more women like that in films. We don't all know kung-fu!

I know! I love physically kick-ass women, don't get me wrong, but balance is good.

I love your icon so much. And I agree with Vesper Lynd. She was awesome and so strong.
