What's your favorite bad-ass female character?

[eslameldeeb]

i like the new Lara Croft too, she feels alive and i like her over the original one...

[BlackMantaStudios]

Which made Satsuki's eventual mellowing down all the sweeter and awesomer.

[katverwho]

OH MY GODDDD I love her so much and can't wait for the new season for more of her <3<3

[katverwho]

@eslameldeeb You beat me to it....yessss, Furiosa!! Forever! I have a big crush on her, and/or want to be her.

I've been on a HUGE, HUUUUUUGE Game of Thrones kick lately. Almost done all the books, finished the new season, am re-watching from the first season (I watch a LOT of tv while I ink). There's no shortage of incredible lady characters, but Brienne still takes the cake for me, because she starts out as tough but super self conscious, and she slowly grows into comfort with herself. She was always a badass and the toughest knight...

I love Lisbeth Salander because she's socially inept, described as being a bit ugly and is totally ruthless yet ultimately does the right thing. I think the Millenium trilogy of books was the first time I read about a somewhat super powered woman who was a love interest without feeling like a sex object for a hero. I like her character because she always does things on her own terms, and always got brutal revenge on people who hurt her or others in need. Maybe not the best real life model, but definitely a character I've really related to.

My favourites are Tatsumaki from One Punch Man, Cynthia from Pokemon, and Saber from Fate Stay Night

[Kayke]

Buffy Summers forever <3

But the list goes on: Rey, Leia, Furiosa, basically any girl from BtVS/Firefly, Abby from Sleepy Hollow, Scully

[StrangeVision]

Tank Girl...

[zetina]

My favourite female character is Haruhi from Ouran Host Club but if she has to be battle-ready, then Izumi Kurtis from Fullmetal Alchemist. "Just a passing housewife," she says while taking down bears and supernatural creatures.

[60Six]

Sylvia from Wander over Yonder, hands down.
This entire show needs more love (and a 3rd season).

[JessJackdaw]

Oh gosh yessss! You beat me to it. Brienne of Tarth is the best!

Man if we just list GoT ladies we'd be here all day. I guess if I had to pick a second to Brienne, it has to be Arya Stark.

She has come so far. It amazes me.

Then I guess you gotta go Daenerys Stormborn. Dragons immediately make you badass though. XD

[mariusthered]

yes got to agree Arya stark is bad ass

[TheYuriCanon]

I would have to agree with Nausicaa. The anime really changed my life, I remember seeing it as a little girl way back in the day. I mean here you have a princess that was nothing like the Disney Princesses. She was strong, confident, caring and could hold her own in a battle. I always wanted her glider as a kid, still do to be honest.

[eslameldeeb]

i'd recommend reading the manga too, it's super nuts there

[joannekwan]

Sun from Sense8!

[TheYuriCanon]

I have, owned it for a long while now. Loved that is is all done in Pencil, which is rather insane.

[eslameldeeb]

XD XD
i read the whole thing with my jaws dropped

[TheYuriCanon]

XD XDi read the whole thing with my jaws dropped

I know, It was breathtaking seeing it for the first time in Animage back in the day.

There were so few good female role models back then so it really threw me and encouraged me. I wanted to create something like that... well I could never draw something that detailed in pencil, but creating strong role models for people to enjoy and relate to resonated strongly in me even back then.

[indagold]

lilo from lilo and stitch?

She's a badass in my eyes.

[VermillionWorks]

Gally/Alita from battle angel alita/gunnm

YES. DITTO. Such an underrated badass...
