I have a trend when it comes to favorite characters. One for the men and another for the women. But they all can handle themselves, one way or another.
{ { Heroines } }
Intelligent, strong, hardcore, badass, independent, and maybe just a little bit crazy.
1. Cristina Yang - Grey's Anatomy
"This, is where I live. My mother decorated it. I don't do laundry, I buy new underwear. See, and under the table? Six months of magazines I know I'll never read, but I won't throw out. I don't wash dishes, vacuum, or put the toilet paper on the holder. I hired a maid once, she ran away crying. The only things in my fridge are water, vodka, and diet soda. And I don't care."
2. Jaye Tyler - Wonderfalls
"Look at me, I’m 24 and I’ve never done anything. I have a worthless philosophy degree that's gotten me no further than a dead-end retail job working for a mouth-breather so I can continue to support my trailer park lifestyle. Do you think I sit around feeling sorry for myself?"
3. River Tam - Firefly
"I don't belong, dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled, can't be trusted. Everyone can just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be, could be with the people they wanted, could live simple--no secrets....and I'll just fade away."
4. Georgia Lass - Dead Like Me
"The day I dropped out of college, I remember lying on my bed. My mother came into my room and she had been crying. She stared at me for a long time and then she said, 'You only have one shot at life, Georgia. This is no dress rehearsal,' and I said, 'You know what, mom. Maybe I don't even want to be in the play.' Two months later I was killed. I wonder sometimes if someone was listening."
{ { Heros } }
Men, not boys. Dark pasts, complicated, badass, and strangely they've all been in war. Don't mess with them.
1. Malcolm Reynolds - Firefly
"Now, I did a job. Got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character, so let me make this abundantly clear: I do the job, and then I get paid. Go run your little world."
2. Owen Hunt - Grey's Anatomy
"Never seen anything like it not in textbook not in residency, incredible, body full of holes, trauma surgeon's dream. I put tourniquets on where I could started tying off the arteries with my bare hands but the bleeding was everywhere--stomach, chest... He never bled out, I wouldn't let him. He made it to the hospital, he made it home. A month later he sent me a letter thanking me for saving his life and then he shot himself. That was my best surgery, and my worst."
3. Derek Reese - Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
"It's beautiful here, isn't it? You stay long enough, you start fooling yourself into thinking that this is how it's always going to be. Then you remember what this place will look like when it's on fire and you realize you'll do whatever it takes to keep from watching it burn again."
4. Don Draper - Mad Men
"The reason you haven't felt it is because it doesn't exist. What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons. You're born alone and you die alone and this world just drops a bunch of rules on top of you to make you forget those facts. But I never forget. I'm living like there's no tomorrow, because there isn't one."
