We Think The Women Should Be Allowed To Fight.

[rionaleonhart]

A while ago, misscam posted an entry about the hard time female characters get in fandom and invited everyone to talk about female characters they loved in the comments. I thought that this was a lovely idea, and so I am completely stealing it. Because I do tend to talk about male characters far more than I talk about female ones, and that's not right.

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU- WHY DO YOU ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS.

Obviously I love Donna, because she's the first character who's not been head over heels for the Doctor, but she's got such an amazingly close relationshop with him anyway. And that she's showing girls everywhere that even temps can be special, that's the main thing I adore about her - the way she thinks she's nothing but it turns out that she's everything.

And and and, um... I love Lyra! From His Dark Materials. 'Cause she's really only little, and yet she does all these amazing and courageous things. Maybe due to being stubborn, maybe due to her desire to rebel against people of authority, but still she saves the goddamn world and rescues people from hell and still, at the end, has the strength to say goodbye to the first boy she loved because all of the windows have to close. geafeahfksdh I cried at the end of those books. Now I want to read them again. Damn

I forgot to mention that! That's another thing I really love about her. DONNA. YOU ARE AMAZING.

Oh, I need to reread His Dark Materials. I loved those books so much when I was younger.

TAKING YUNA IN INAPPROPRIATE DIRECTIONS ON THE SPHERE GRID IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS TO DO IN FINAL FANTASY X. I love watching her run up, give the enemy a gentle tap with her staff, and do one million damage. And she is just so brave. Also adorable.

[misskass]

RELATIONSHOP. How did I manage to misspell that. xD

I should really start the game again and take all the characters in the wrong directions. Yuna and Lulu will go down the physical strength path, Auron and Tidus will become black mages with terrible attacks, and Wakka and Rikku will be white mages. Or I could just teach everyone Holy, that could work too. Unless the enemies are invulnerable to Holy, then I'm screwed.

... are there enemies that aren't affected by Holy?

OH I FORGOT: I love Jessie from Pokemon. 'Cause she's really cool for a constant enemy who loses at everything. She's just awesome and persistent and I love in Pokemon 2000 when she and James and Meowth decide to be the good guys for once. Also in Pokemon 3, but 2000 is my favourite film.

[rionaleonhart]

Now I am just imagining Donna and the Doctor running a shop that sells romantic novels.

JESSIE IS AMAZING. As is everything about Pokémon, eeee.

[vzg]

YES THE CAKE DRESS. And Kaylee's all, "I want to fit in!" and then she realizes that the girls at that ball are no fun whatsoever. (And Serenity is not luh suh.) And Zoe and her amazing relationship with Wash, and her ability to make Jayne shut up (although I do love Jayne). Yeeesss.

And Willow is really always geeky, even when she is not so much computer geeky.

[emmarrrrr]

KAYLEE'S DRESS. I LOVE IT SO.

Also, Shiki is my favourite protagonist. Her and Josh, because he's all upper-class and irritating and a bit gay.

my favourite character is totally sho, though.

[dracothelizard]

Kaylee and Zoe are both so much win!

How did I forget Pam in mine? PAM!

(Sorry for hijacking your comment <3)

kdfkghfh george. i love her. I also love Daisy. DAISY ADAIR. purely for the hallowe'en episode.

I also love Rose :)

[bubl]

(Am I crazy blind or is there no Harry Potter in this entry?)

I loooove Olivia Benson on Law & Order SVU. She is so my favourite. She's hot and kickass. She's a great cop and she works through being kind of emotionally damaged. (And she loves Elliot ♥)

I love Elliot on Scrubs and I would totally date her even though she's crazy.

I love Ruby even though she's most probably evil and will make me sad in the end.

I love Luna! She's adorable and weird and I wish I could be her friend in RL. Hermione kind of annoys me sometimes, but she's really smart and that's awesome.

I LOVE Sabriel from Garth Nix's Abhorsen series. Do you read teen fantasy? It's one of my most favourites ever.

I love Cuddy also. And Debbie from Queer as Folk US. And others, but that's all for now. <3

Re: I also love Rose :)

[rionaleonhart]

(I only tagged it with Harry Potter because of Annie's adorable desire to be in Hufflepuff. But I do like Hermione, and oh, Luna! How could I have forgotten about her? Her bedroom ceiling in Deathly Hallows! My heart!)

I am so curious about Ruby's intentions. I do hope she's not entirely evil.

Re: I also love Rose :)

[bubl]

(Oh I see now, I had mostly skipped open that bit cos I haven't seen that show. I want to over summer hiatus though :))

Me too on both counts. I'm hoping she's just devious.

Re: I also love Rose :)

[hold_onhope]

Sabriel, yes. Not so much with Lirael, though - I liked her, but she wasn't quite as badass.

[vzg]

I adore all the female characters of Scrubs, because I adore all the characters in Scrubs. For a long time I wanted to hate Kelso for being an evil bastard (even if it's fictional, cheating pretty much always rubs me the wrong way, especially when the character acts like they deserve to cheat), but I can't even hate him!

I love the ladies of FFX (but I'm less-than-in-love with Paine, so not so much FFX-2 I guess) and probably would like the girls of FFXII very much if I ever picked the game back up. >.>

I LOVE ELPHABA AND GLINDA OF THE WICKED MUSICAL SO MUCH, YOU HAVE NO IDEA. I want to paint myself green for Elphaba, that's how much I love her. On the note of musicals, I love Hairspray's Tracy and Penny absolutely to pieces, and Mrs. Turnblad just as much (even if she's played by a man, she counts, right?), and I love Kate Monster and Christmas Eve from Avenue Q (I giggle every time I think of Christmas Eve shouting "GO GET JOB!" and There's a Fine, Fine Line is absolutely wonderful [and so is Fantasies Come True, but that's mostly

[vzg]

MOSTLY EVERY FEMALE WHEDON CHARACTER EVER? Okay, that's a bit overboard, but to start - Buffy, Willow, Tara, Dawn, Zoe, Kaylee, Inara, River, Fred, and there is even potential for me to really love some Dollhouse girls, but the main ones are dolls, which complicates things. :P I dunno, I like the bits of Echo that come out of her on her own, but sometimes Caroline's flashbacks make her personality kind of rub me the wrong way. And there's been so little seen of Sierra and November beyond the dolls - although Sierra gets to be awesome vengeful, I think I mostly identify November as Mellie. :/ I dunno. WE'LL SEE. Adele is pretty cool, too, and so is Paul's FBI co-conspirator lady whose name I can't remember. Although Topher's assistant is cute, I also would like to see more of her before passing official do-I-like-her judgements, since so far she's mostly just been upset about having to get snacks for him

[vzg]

WAIT FUCK- Envelope Girl from The Engima! I don't know why I love her, but I do. (See icon!)

[madmogs]

AUNT LILY! In the graveyard in tight trousers holding a gun! Makes me doubt my asexuality!(Because yes, unbelievably awesome.)

Also, Olive will never ever not win the universe.
