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/

Oh, so many.

To start with, the woman in my icon, Calpurnia Adams from A Soldier's Girl. She may not have been born a woman, but she had the guts to choose it, the guts to say yes to the most unlikely person, and then to deal with the loss and hurt when he was murdered for loving her.

Almost anyone else I could think to mention here already has been, except my first girlcrush ever, Viola from Twelfth Night, who is just awesome.

I think everyone should have crushes on Viola. She's the reason 12th Night is my favorite Shakespeare comedy, and I wish Orsino had been worthier of her, because he was just a bit lame.
