Five kick-arse females

From [livejournal.com profile] fannish5: Name five kick-arse female characters,

This is not hard. I could name more than that from Blake's 7 alone, but if I restrict myself to one per fandom which also isn't B7, then:

  • Emma Peel from The Avengers - so elegant and understated
  • Susan Ivanova from Babylon 5 - tough and always in command
  • Aeryn Sun from Farscape - radiant, awesome, and stunning
  • Ms Parker from The Pretender - her snark is another weapon in her arsenal
  • Fiona Glenanne from Burn Notice - guns and explosives aren't just her profession, they're her hobby too
I only have two of those in an icon. I should acquire more.

Ivanova is God.

She is!

I thought you did have a Parker icon? (On the other hand, I did not realize you had an Ivanova. Hello, Ivanova!)

I do! I'll have to edit that.

I love Fi. She loves shoes and guns; how could I not love her?

I love all the others too, except Ms Parker whom I know next to nothing about as I've only seen a couple of episodes.

I don't care about shoes at all, so I don't get that. However I do love hats (men's one mainly) and jewellery, so I do see how people might acquire more shoes than they'd often wear. I haven't bought shoes for about three years.

Ms Parker is like a mean Emma Peel. She's cold and snarky and tough (and smokes which adds to that), but you get glimpses of her vulnerability.
