This Top Ten Tuesday I got to fill in the blank for "Top Ten Characters Who ___" so I chose what appeals most to me in a book: strong female characters. You'll notice that many of the strong females here come in pairs. In no particular order:
1) Ginny Weasely (Harry Potter)-- When Harry is away she takes charge and leads a revolution instead of moping and trying to kill herself. *cought* Twilight *cough*
2) Hermione (Harry Potter)--If you've read Harry Potter you know why I've included her. She's smart and Harry and Ron even admit that she is the mastermind behind all their success.
3) Eona (Eon)-- A girl who knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to take what was hers. She went against men and won.
4) Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games)-- Just the bravest girl ever. Sacrifices herself for her sister and later on another person she loves.
5) Primrose Everdeen (The Hunger Games)-- When the war took place she was out on the field, putting her life in danger in order to save lives that weren't hers.
6) Alana (Song of the Lioness)-- Like Eona she passes for a man in order to get what she wanted.
7) Princess Cimorene (Dealing with Dragons)-- Saves her own life several times over and and ends up in a position of power. One of her pet peeves is when men try to rescue her. She doesn't need rescuing, darn it!
8) Briar (Boneshaker)-- The mother of a child who, in this Steampunk novel, goes across the wall into the poisoned air, a world infested with zombies. She races after him alone and doesn't stop until she's with her son and gets him to safety.
9) Alexia Tarabotti (Soulless)-- Another badass woman, but this one doesn't have a soul. That doesn't make her heartless or any less caring about people (**SPOILER ALERT** she falls in love with a werewolf after all) and she takes on anyone who threatens her.
10) Tera Patrick (Love and Porn)-- She's not a character, she's an actual person writing a memoir but I had to add her because she's so unique. She took charge of her career and sexuality.
