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/

Since I haven't seen anyone mention any Shakespeare characters yet, I'm going to go with Beatrice. I'm lacking in poeticalness at the moment, but it's hardly necessary with Beatrice. I do have an appropriate icon, though.

Let me just give a huge "Seconded!" to this choice, because I adore Beatrice. Hands down, my favorite Shakespeare heroine: stubborn, snarky and refuses to back away from a fight. Love her.

Absolutely! ABSOLUTELY!

Beatrice is the patron saint of the willfully single (or just me) in a play and a world where single women are seldom seen as complete.

And who wouldn't love a woman who says "I would eat his heart
in the market-place"?
