Monday Meta: Bitch, bitch, bitch.
As mentioned a few days ago, I'm going to actually take apart and examine the reasons why I decided that Dona deserves an entire prompt list worth of positive attention. But, since aiming low is not in my otherwise extensive vocabulary, I don't just want to talk about Dona. I want to talk about some female characters I like, and the reasons why.

Rinoa had me the moment she marched over and did the "you-want-to-dance-with-me" thing. Sometimes she joined in the Legion of Angsty Teenagers, which is my affectionate name for the whole dysfunctional group, but she got up and did things, full stop.
Jadis. Mmm, Jadis. It took me so many years to realize I rather sympathized with Uncle Andrew's "a dem fine woman" perspective.
I need to get CoM sooner or later so I can see Larxene. Bitches are great. I was so sorry when Edea lost her Inner Bitch and became passive.

No one could possibly escape at least a little angst with that bunch. It's an airborne contagion or something. But Rinoa shows up all, "Hi guys! Let's do some verbs! What's that, Squall? You have trouble formulating and articulating your desires? That's okay; I've got enough for the both of us. Just follow along and I'm sure you'll work out how it's done!" "...I'm going to go angst in a corner now." "No! Verbs!" "...But my ellipses are incompatible with verbs............" "Too bad! Verbs are fun! See how much fun I'm having?" "Oh, hey. These verbs are kind of cool. And I can angst while I do them." "...When I'm not in a coma again, we're moving on to Lesson #2. Smiling may be involved." And even when she's having an attack of Teh Angst, she usually comes up with something to do about it pretty quick ( ... )
