favourite lesbian characters on TV and film

this is not intended as a comprehensive list, but as a space to list my favourite on-screen lesbians and female same-sex pairings - if I am aware that a character in a pairing is canonically or heavily coded as bi I will make a note so as not to erase their bisexuality
