skygiantsAm 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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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.

Date: 2010-02-01 09:22 pm (UTC)Toph: TOPH IS AWESOME. EVERYBODY BETTER RECOGNIZE. FULL STOP. She is literally the most badass person on the show, quite probably the most badass person IN THE WORLD, and also the most hilariously cranky twelve-year-old in existence. <3333 This combination is like my kryptonite! Every time she punches Sokka in the shoulder in a manly way because she can't admit she liiiiikes him, my heart grows three sizes. Every time she and Katara bond over Toph's secret secret inner angst, my heart grows FOUR sizes. Every time she reminds them all for the umpty millionth time that SHE CAN'T ACTUALLY SEE THE POSTER YOU'RE UNFURLING, my heart grows FIVE SIZES!
Mai: I love Mai, and I love her extra because for some reason there are large portions of fandom that are bizarrely anti-Mai. How can you hate Mai! I love her hilarious deadpan, and how she is almost as cool as she thinks she is, and her FIVE MILLION KNIVES, and how she doesn't hate Zuko, and how, in the end, the fate of the world hangs in the balance of her choice . . . almost. Because really, the fate of the world hangs on:
Ty Lee: I love Ty Lee because I have never seen a character quite like her before on TV, I think. She's so cheerful and likeable! But she works for Team Evil! But she's actually competent! But her choice not to let one of her best friends kill the other is actually quite possibly what saves the world! OH TY LEE. <3333
For you: Fullmetal Alchemist!

Date: 2010-02-02 04:31 am (UTC)FMA! SO MANY CHOICES. I think I have to start with:
Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye: She is just AWESOME from the very beginning. She's loyal to Mustang, yet she will TOTALLY undermine him, especially if he's being stupid. It's only chapter seven where she's knocks his feet out from under him, saving him from Scar's hand, and he's, "What was THAT for?!" and she goes, "You're useless on rainy days." and the USELESS hits him like a ton of bricks. Plus so many other awesome things she's done. She potty trained her dog by scaring him with a gun! SO MUCH LOVE.
Izumi Curtis: How could anyone NOT think she's awesome? The first thing she does when she first meets young Ed and All is throw a bed at them! She beats up the baddies, then throws up blood, then continues beating them up! She and her husband are total badasses, then they hug and have hearts around them and are all "I love you, honey." The way she's all, "I'm a house wife!" SCARIEST YET MOST AWESOME THING EVER.
The third choice is tooooough. There are so many awesome women! But I think for my third gal I'm going to go with:
Sheska: Books. Books books books books books. Need I say more?
