Top Ten Favorite Female Characters
Tagged by @therealhieronymous.
1) Sayaka Miki from Puella Magi: Madoka Magica. She's so selfless and brave and funny and the best bisexual girl in anime. I love everything about this funky blue girl.
2) Bea Santello from Night in the Woods. Depressed, working class, abuse survivor, leftist - Bea and I have a TON in common. Virtually every word out of her mouth is a Big Mood.
3) Sienna Khan from RWBY. A brilliant, revolutionary minority rights leader with an absolutely gorgeous character design, she deserved so much better than her <5 minutes of screen time before she was offed by a far lesser character.
4) Hester Shaw from the Mortal Engines Quartet. Complicated, morally gray, disabled, and horrifically disfigured. That Hester is allowed to be ruthless and ugly and broken in a series written by a man and that those are some of her most important character traits as a protagonist is nothing short of incredible.
5) Sombra from Overwatch. The very first instant I saw this lady I was head over heels in love. Her aesthetic is godly, her personality is so much fun, and more than that she's such a departure from the Latina stereotypes we usually see on the rare occasions when we're represented in video games.
6) Sachiko Fujinuma from Erased. Best fictional mom ever. Enough said.
7) Amethyst from Steven Universe. I haven't actually sat down and watched the show, but I had a roommate who used to watch it and every little bit I caught with Amethyst in it I loved. Also her design fucking rocks.
8) Blake Belladonna from RWBY. I have a bit of a love-hate thing going on with Blake. For the first three seasons I adored this cool, smart, stoic cat girl struggling with racism and a difficult past. The fourth season of the series destroyed a ton of her character, and she started preaching extremely Bad opinions on resisting racism. But her character arc as an intimate partner abuse survivor was beautiful.
9) Britta Perry from Community. Even though the show itself refuses to acknowledge it, Britta is very clearly a rare depiction of an autistic woman. I connect so much with her social awkwardness, her buzzkill opinions, her gender non-conformity, and her past with emotionally abusive parents.
10) Kate Veatch from Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. Kate was the first polyamorous bisexual I ever saw in a piece of media. A lawyer with a passion for underdog cases and unicorns and a zero tolerance policy for bullshit, she's just an awesome person to boot.
As usual, I tag any of my followers who want to give this a shot!
