Rules: List your 10 favourite female characters, one per fandom, then tag 10 people.
ONE per fandom?? That’s never going to happen lol sorry.
1 - Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter) Literally the first female character I ever identified with so she takes first spot, that’s non-negotiable.
2 - Teresa Lisbon (The Mentalist) My favourite TM character. I cannot for the life of me understand her inner workings, but I love her to bits nonetheless.
3 - Eve Polastri (Killing Eve) With the caveat that I have only seen season 1. She feels real in ways none of the others on this list do and I love her so much for it.
4 - Alice Morgan (Luther) The one bright light in an oh-so-depressing show.
5 - Joan Watson (Elementary) Funny, sensitive, caring, and with a level of intelligence she isn’t recognised enough for, Joan Watson is a queen and the very reason I absolutely refuse to limit myself to one female character per fandom. I can play favourites inside a fandom when needed, but for a top 10 across fandoms? She’s head and shoulders above half the characters on this list already so I’m not leaving her out, no way. <3
6 - Eurus Holmes (BBC Sherlock) I wish she had been in someone else’s hands. Most of that show makes me feel like they were sitting on troves of unexploited potential and badly handled everything they touched, but with her it’s the worst.
7 - Madeleine Hightower (The Mentalist) One of the most well-rounded and complex TM characters. Clever, competent, ruthless, emotionally vulnerable, a bit of a schemer, deeply loving and protective, politically motivated but family oriented... I could go on. Her character has a range I’m not even sure some of the main characters had. She’s wonderful and same as Watson, leaving her out just wouldn’t have been possible.
8 - Arya Stark (ASOIAF) Literally the reason I started reading those books in the first place, waaaaay before they even started talking about making a show. Two fanarts, one quote, that was enough for her to own my heart.
9 - Jiya Marri (Timeless) My sweet, desperate, badass nerdy girl. Another character with potential lost, who should have been in the hands of better writers.
10 - Jamie Moriarty (Elementary) I wish I could explain, but every time I try to find the right words, it ends in stammering and emotional overwhelm. She’s everything to me, that’s just how it is.
Tagging: @theteadetective, @raeofalbion, @archiegoodwin, @extasiswings, and @lettersdeeplyworn. (Feel free to do it even if you’re not in that list, there’s five invisible tags there, one of them might be you.)
