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/

-Every single lady ever penned by Tamora Pierce.
Alanna, Tris, Sandry, Kel, Ally, Dane, Lalassa, Daja, Lark, Beka, Rosethron, Evy, Buri, too many to fit in this comment space. If Tammy wrote her she's resourceful, smart, skilled in some trade, flawed and yet able to overcome or accept that part of herself, smart and kick ass in either brains, or brawn. In general it feels like she'll walk off the page at any moment. Some of my first, and still my best, role models.

-Utena and Anthy from Revolutionary Girl Utena. Yes, they're both out of their minds, but boring, weak or broken they ain't!

-Promise from Rob Thurman's Nightlife series. Classy, smart, elegant and able to kick your sorry butt from one end of the block to the other without putting a hair out of place. A perfect romantic match for Niko.

-Abby Bartlett, from the West Wing. Because she's funny, sharp and smart, but knows when to admit that she done wrong.

Hooray for Abbey Bartlet! I've been reading this entire list just waiting for her. She knows how much power she holds and what she can do with it, but also her limitations. And she's the one person who can call the president a jackass.

President Josiah Bartlet: Do you even know what you're listening to right now?
Abbey Bartlet: Do you know how many other people I could have married?

Three cheers for Promise! Elegant in any scenario, with a razor sharp wit to boot.
