One Hundred Lovely Ladies
Courtesy of rhymed.
I've alphabetized, first by fandom and then by name. (If they have last names that I've forgotten, forgive me.) Characters who appear in two or more series are grouped with the series I prefer her in (usually shows that came later, after the character has developed more).
Characters come from literary works as varied as Shakespeare and Tamora Pierce. There are video games, both a comic book series and a webcomic, TV shows, and movies represented.
Some of these ladies are fierce and strong, and others are clever and sassy. Many have free spirits I find admirable, and some just make kickass villains.
