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.

Tina Fey. And I don’t care that she’s not fictional. She’s a badass and needs to be recognized. But if I had to play by the rules…

Liz Lemon.

Because shes played by someone I admire.

Lauren Oya Olamina, from Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents. Strong, independent, and wise enough to know that there's strength in community.

To me, this is one of the most fully realized female characters in science fiction (at least):

My fiancee insists that if we ever have a daughter that we're naming her Aeryn. I'm fine with that. Hell, I'm the one who introduced her to the show lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

As a parent myself, might I suggest using that as her middle name.

When we named our two boys, we chose classic yet timeless names for their first, but did have some fun with their middle names. (and NO, they are not named "Ben" and "Will". My god, I actually know 6 families that have two boys with those names). That way, we got to name them something fun, but they had good classical first names they could go by through out their lives. Our boys were born during the height of what I call the "din" period. Where a lot of babies have names that ended with some derivation of "din", "dyn", "den" or something along those lines.

There is a very good reason why there is an entire subreddit on that other site called "/r/tragideigh".

Captain Janeway

For me, Commander Ivanova from Babylon 5. Like the rest of the characters, she wasn't perfect, but she was so strong.

Risa Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist

Or Olivier Mira Armstrong, for that matter.

True. I need to rewatch brotherhood. I was a OG FMA-anime fan way back in the day before I even knew it was based on a manga or that the anime just made up its own ending so it took me a while to even give brotherhood a chance.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I keep OG in my heart as well. The sequence in the penultimate (?) episode with the final transmutation circle was just dope, also some of the pacing and characters were more to my taste.

Brotherhood is ... different, but has it's own merits.

Can't believe princess Leia hasn't been mentioned yet.

"What the hell are you doing?" "Somebody has to save our skins. Into the garbage chute flyboy!"

Lol

Sarah Connor

So the absolute first that comes to mind is a joke answer: Strong Woman, the vice Principal from South Park.

The actual answer is Phryne Fisher

First who popped into my mind was Friday Jones from Robert A. Heinlein's Friday.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I love that book.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago

Ellen Ripley. She will wreck your shit and yeet you into space.

Buffy. I was the right age (or maybe a bit too young) when it aired and it was the first female-led show that I fell in love with.
