Am I ever going to pass up an opportunity to babble extensively about AWESOME LADIES? The answer is: no, I most certainly am not!

Therefore, stolen from in_the_blue and a few other people by now: name a canon you know I know, and I'll tell you (in no particular order) my three favorite females and why. And then I'll name a canon for you, because I'm just as curious as I am eager to share.

Firefly!

[skygiants]

Zoe Washburne: Who is surprised that Zoe is my favorite? NO ONE is surprised. The deadpan snark, the utter loyalty, the complete and utter badassery . . . the only complaint I have about Zoe is that she was never given enough screentime or a story of her own, and if I have one dearest sorrow about Firefly being cancelled, it's that now we'll never get it. (Not that we necessarily would have anyways . . . but we'll never know now.)

Patience: Okay she appeared for all of one episode. But dammit, I love a lady who is willing to shoot off Mal Reynolds' kneecaps. (I love Mal too! But there is something about Patience's cheerful amorality that I seriously adore.)

Kaylee: I think Kaylee was my first exposure to the cheerful girly mechanic archetype, and it was so exciting! And I remember being really, really happy to have a character who was not hardcore-badass and who liked frilly dresses and girly things but was still competent, a character who I could identify with.

(River would have been on here, but I love Milliways River more than canon River, and also I feel like River gets so much attention from canon that other ladies should have a turn.)


Also, in exchange: Ugly Betty!
