Name ten favourite characters from ten different things (books, tv, film, etc.) There was something about tagging 10 people, but firstly, I ignore the rules anyway, and secondly, it’s been ages ago in tumblr years, so I’m not sure who was and wasn’t tagged?

I was tagged by @merulanoir, @xpityx, @namesonboats and also just now by @keyrousse. Thanks! 💜

I suppose it's time to dig out and edit that draft!

1) Ciri, The Witcher

So I’m going to shock you all, and start with her. Yes, I know. Nobody saw that coming. I’m still in awe at what CDPR did with her character (although I have a list of issues at how her past traumas were dealt with, check my fics for a comprehensive list) and turned the annoying book teenager into this fascinating, fun, fierce, flawed bby who deserves everything that’s good. And I shall bloody provide, as long as I have ideas. Ciri/Happiness is my OTP.

2) Chrisjen Avasarala, the Expanse

What. A. Character. Ruthless and cunning and doing whatever she thinks is right, consequences be damned. But ultimately all her choices come from her core belief as to what’s right for Earth (first, then/)and for humanity as a whole. And someone ( @rikerssexblouse​ was it your post?) rightly pointed out that at no point is she being punished by the narrative for being who she is. She makes mistakes, she loses, like any other character would, but her loses are not a lesson to all small girls out there not to stick your head out. (Staring at you, most of media.) And “Caliban’s War”, where she is one of the POVs, is a fucking DELIGHT.

3) Mara Jade, Star Wars

I do have a type, no? I remember reading “Heir to the Empire” the year it was released (yes, I’m Old) and falling in love with her. I love sarcastic badass women so bloody much. I could recite scenes from “Vision of the Future” from memory. Mara/Luke is probably the only real OTP of mine.

4) Granny Esmeralda "Esme" Weatherwax, the Discworld

I love her. The Shepherd's Crown broke me and I'm still not over it.

5) Seven of Nine, "Star Trek Picard" (only)

Tired badass warrior women who have seen some shit but keep on kicking butts? And look like that?

Sign. Me. The. Fuck. Up.

Or, as @merulanoir rightly asked:

6) Susan Ivanova, "Babylon 5"

I really, really, REALLY have a type.

Tired, competent to a fault, takes no shit, will strangle you if you get in her way.

7) Veronica Mars "Veronica Mars"

Nothing to see here.

8) Elizabeth Bennet, "Pride and Prejudice"

Classics require no explanation.

9) Little My, Moomins

Red-haired, mean, angrey; small but will kill you.

10) Death of the Endless, The Sandman
