The rules are to list 10 of your favorite female characters from 10 different fandoms, and then tag 10 different people.
1) Blanche Brier from the Fairy Tale Novels: I’m currently rereading The Shadow of the Bear and I have a new appreciation for her, especially for how she tries to be wise and careful and how she carries all her fear.
2) Mercy Rios from The Ashtown Burials: She’s not had a lot of page time, but I loved her right away - she doesn’t know how to give up, despite everything she’s been through.
3) Kate Sutton from The Perilous Gard: She’s honest and steadfast - and very relatable.
4) Riza Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist: She has a lot of good traits, but one that particularly stands out is how she takes responsibility for her actions.
5) Steris Harms from the Wax & Wayne series: She doesn’t see the world the same way as most other people, but she’s aware of it and doesn’t let it stop her.
6) Anne Eliot from Persuasion: She doesn’t waste a lot of time wishing about what might have been, instead finding grace and strength to do what is needed where she is at.
7) Winter Blackburn from The Lunar Chronicles: She chooses the hard thing when it is the right thing to do.
8) Sidonie from In the Forests of Serre: She neither resigns herself to her fate nor tries to run away from it, instead taking it in both hands and doing what is necessary.
9) B’Elanna Torres from Star Trek: Voyager: She’s stubborn and strong - and was the first female engineer I remember seeing on TV.
10) Officer Flossy Fox from the Richard Scarry books: She keeps law and order on a bicycle, and is very dedicated.
