Can be from any kind of media.

For me it’s Margot from The Magicians (which is interesting because in the books she is anything but) and Jesse Faden from Control.

    For me, I respect female characters who are written strong but not mean or “buff”. Your character doesn’t need to be a dick or on steroids to be strong. A strong person can be kind and compassionate, just not capitulate under pressure. I also don’t believe being “independent” means you can’t love someone and lean on them in times of need, it just means you aren’t defined by the relationship.

    • Bastila Shan from KOTOR
    • Mustang from Red Rising
    • Rita from Groundhog Day
    • Hermione from Harry Potter (if only JK respected ALL women)
    • Dottie from A League of Their Own
    • Mulan from Mulan
    • Ellie from The Last of Us Part 2
    • Freya from God of War
