Kay Scarpetta and her niece from the Patricia Cornwell Books.


Everyone's guilty of something, especially the ones that aren't!

Elphaba from Wicked: the Life and times of the wicked witch of the west. (The book by Gregory Maguire) Even though she's wicked i must agree with previous posters tho...Elizabeth bennet and Sayuri are awesome too :D


History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it. - Sir Winston Churchill.

Mine is definitely Scarlett O'Hara (Gone With the Wind)!!!

Ruth Cole from John Irving's 'A Winow for One Year'

i actually had to look that up,
i thought the phrase

Kay Scarpetta does indeed rock my socks! I also like Ivy Tamwood from Kim Harrison's Dead Witch Walking series. Yes she is flawed but she still kicks ass!


SCAdians shall take over the world with jello filled siege weapons. A disabled SCAdian living in an able bodied Mundane world. I carry blades and drive a wheelchair on the road, scared yet?

Bathsheba (far from the madding crowd).

And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:

Lyra Belacqua from Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy.

Alice Cullen from Twilight, shes awesome.

Elizabeth Bennett and Scarlett O'Hara are great. Also Laura Ingalls Wilder. And Brigid O'Shaughnessy from The Maltese Falcon.
