Am I ever going to pass up an opportunity to babble extensively about AWESOME LADIES? The answer is: no, I most certainly am not!
Therefore, stolen from in_the_blue and a few other people by now: name a canon you know I know, and I'll tell you (in no particular order) my three favorite females and why. And then I'll name a canon for you, because I'm just ( Read more... )

okay okay okay um
Rachel: I LOVE RACHEL OKAY. She is the Biggest Damn Hero ever to not appear in the opening credits. I love how she just kind of casually rescues everybody without even breaking a sweat, AND ALSO how she totally ends up having lunch and giving romantic advice to the most feared assassin in the world, ALSO without breaking a sweat. And also her inexplicable fashion choices. (Why army fatigues? WHY NOT.) Even the editor of the Daily Days thinks she is the most hardcore! If I end up requesting Baccano! for Yuletide next year I am totally requesting Rachel fic, because it needs to exist.
Nice Holystone: oh like you didn't know this was coming. NICE. She keeps a bomb in her eye socket! Do I even need to say anything more! And she totally does not even care about who sees her scars by this point; she is awesome and self-confident and totally in charge of a gang of amazing bootleggers. (Yes, Jacuzzi is technically in charge. But we all know who ( ... )

MILLIE. I read The Lives of Christopher Chant before any of the others, and thus was introduced to her when she was a kid rather than when she was already grown-up and married, and I am pretty sure this is what formed my main opinion of her. Because she was a girl who wanted desperately to live a life like she read about in stories, and, well, back then that was me. And she actually got to do it! By forcing people to give her the chance! Seeing her later as a respectable witch with an (admittedly slightly off-kilter) family life was lovely, but it was the lonely girl who pushed herself into the world she wanted whom I loved so dearly.
--okay I do not remember this one's name, um. WIKIPEDIA WILL HELP ME ah, she is Claudia! From Year of the Griffin. I do not like that book as much as I did Dark Lord of Derkholm, mostly because of DWJ's decision to pair up everybody ever even with people they barely knew, but Claudia was one ( ... )

(I forget, have you read Conrad's Fate yet? In which Millie mercilessly mocks Christopher who is HILARIOUSLY HEAD OVER HEELS for her? :D :D :D)
Claudia is amazing! I wish I felt like I'd gotten to know her better - that was one of the things about Year of the Griffin, aside from the sudden explosion of pairings at the end, yeah - but she was so fabulous. Travel jinx! <333
And what can I do but flail my hands around and go SOPHIE. :D :D :D :D She epitomizes my favorite kind of DWJ-lady - cranky and take-charge!
