Rules: write your 10 favorite female characters from 10 different fandoms and tag 10 people you know, whoever
(And because I’m me, the rambling is a bonus.)
Ghost in the Shell - Motoko Kusanagi, naturally. I just... I love her okay. Helps that I also love her English VA a lot.
Final Fantasy XV - Cindy Aurum. I figure I’m gonna get looks for that, but. Dude. Capable mechanic, total sweetheart who does her damnedest to help out even if she’s not a fighter though Cindy fighting with wrenches when modders?, distracts people while Pawpaw works out the bill, seems to take far more interest in cars than potential romantic partners. What’s not to love? Like, I get it, I do. But call it mental snapback for all the people who specifically insisted a smart woman can’t dress however the fuck she wants. I mean yeah you should wear protection when working with certain things but... I sure as fuck don’t. I’m not very intelligent, though. ...Anyway. Cindy. (Yeah, Kingsglaive Luna is a very close second, but let’s not get into that conversation because that’ll make this so much longer.)
Kingdom Hearts - Aqua. Like, I want it to be Kairi but. .........Gotta wait until they actually let her do something. *cough* And Aqua just... ugh. The whole ending bit of Birth By Sleep (aka The Game Where Everyone Starts Out Idealistic and Naive and Then Everything Happens at Once and They Just Have to do the Best They Can). Just. UGH.
Beast Wars (Transformers) - Blackarachnia. “Evil” spider lady (it’s a long story) who proves to maybe not be as obedient as intended. Then falls for hero who is dumber than a sack of doorknobs (Scott McNeil’s own phrase) but it’s a beautiful kind of ridiculous and dammit what starts off feeling like an attempt to “change her” becomes accepting her and her sarcastic vicious streak and leave me alone okay I love them.
The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina Zelda. She got shit done. I mean I doubt it’s a spoiler anymore, but just in case... yeah, she got all the shit done. ...And maybe made Link question his sexuality more than once. Extra points.
Devil May Cry - I love Trish, I do, but... Lady. Even with the... anger issues. The massive, somewhat understandable but still “hey maybe calm the fuck down there a little”, anger issues.
Tiger & Bunny - Agnes Joubert. I mean yes, she is utterly scary about ratings, but she also obviously cares about the Heroes and... everyone’s got a little crush on Wild Tiger, let’s just admit that.
Tron - Quorra. I think people get stuck on the “sexy innocent ass-kicker” thing and don’t realize that there is actually a brain and a heart in there too, eager to embrace more than she’s known before. I don’t know, could just be me. Guess we’ll never know now though, will we. Haaaaa.
Star Wars - Here comes the joke about having so many to choose from, right? Buuuuut there’s a world beyond the movies even if that’s kind of been discarded depending on who you choose to listen to, etc, and so on, it’s Leia, it’s always going to be Leia, it’s Leia okay.
Star Trek - ...I actually really liked Voyager and Janeway is fav by a large margin. Not just because of the coffee thing. But also partly because of the coffee thing. Gotta give a little shout out to T’Pol, though. For all the “we give up” inherent in the writing of way too damn much of Enterprise, there was some really good shit with T’Pol.
