Leia Organa wins the title of Ultimate Competent Woman!
In a heart-stoppingly close race, Leia Organa takes the crown in the last hour, winning the tournament against the Slayer herself, Buffy Summers!! I'd like to think she'd offer to shake hands.
Thank you to everyone who voted, it was a blast to run this!!
Xena wins the little final/matchfor third place!
Thank you for everyone who voted! It was a blast!
THE FINAL IS HERE!!!
Out of ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHT IMMENSELY COMPETENT WOMEN, we now have the final two fighting for the crown:
Leia Organa vs. Buffy Summers
You all know them, you all love them: decades of experience as a leader, diplomat and general vs. an explosion of talent, willpower and strength. Which will prevail? Who will come out as the Ultimate Competent Woman?
We also have le petit finale, the match for third place:
Xena vs. Sophie Deveraux
The ultimate fighter versus the best grifter in the world - what a match!! (I know I know, why pit two bad bitches, they should kiss, etc etc etc)
Cast your votes until June 25th, 9pm CEST!

Leia Organa vs. Buffy Summers
Remember: don't vote on "who would win in a fight", but on "who, when given a task that fits her skillset and talents, would do that task better: more comprehensively, faster, with more pizzazz, with less collateral, etc."
THE FINAL!!
Leia Organa, Star Wars
Buffy Summers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Endorsements! "What is she good at?"
Leia Organa, Star Wars: everything. y'all know her. but to be clear in her very first scene she lies directly to vader's face without blinking. then iconically takes charge of her own rescue missions bc luke and han are useless. then she outlives that main trio, is a force user, senator, general, and everyone loves her.
Buffy Summers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: At the age of sixteen, she has more experience at her job than her mentor, and pretty much every other character on the show for that matter. Over the course of the show she saves the world at least ten times, defeats a literal god, and fundamentally reshapes the system that made her a child soldier in the first place, all while dealing with intense trauma and eventually, crippling suicidal depression. She's a good leader and is usually the one to come up with the battle plans (despite, and I cannot stress this enough, being a teenager and young adult who has a grown ass man for a mentor). She's also a very skilled fighter, and she improves from season to season. And in later seasons she has to accomplish all this while also raising her teenage sister and working fast food.
She's not perfect. For one thing she's a teenager and for another, as it turns out, crippling depression is in fact crippling. But even at her worst she's almost always competent as a slayer. Plus, her hair and make-up are consistently on point. (thank you tumblr user @comradesummers )
Xena vs. Sophie Deveraux

Petit Finale - Match for Third Place!
Xena, Xena Warrior Princess
Sophie Deveraux, Leverage
Endorsements! "What is she good at?"
Xena, Xena Warrior Princess: She has many skills. Fighting, healing (she invented cpr and field medicine and triage, etc), tracking, she has various spiritual powers, she can beat up literal gods, she gave birth to the messiah (which isn't precisely something she was competent at but it's worth mentioning), she's the queen of strategy and also she can embroider.
Sophie Deveraux, Leverage: Give her the right stage, and she can be anyone. She can change character on a dime; she can read people from just a passport photo, she came to her own funeral - twice! - in the certain knowledge people wouldn't recognize her because she was acting. She oozes style (just not always the same style), and despite her good looks, she isn't just a pretty face - and in Leverage Redemption, well into her forties or even past fifty, she is still perceived to be hot and desirable, a woman in her prime!

Nyota Uhura, Star Trek: Her special talents lie in communicating and translating; she speaks a lot of languages and has an intuitive understanding of speech - and music too! She is a good singer, and this ability helps her not just bring joy to her friends and crewmates but also save the day! She's an excellent leader and teacher too.
