So. About that annoying female character flowchart.

(This one, in case you haven't seen it.)

Instead of ranting about it, I'm going to 1)link to a great fix (thanks to etrangere for the link!), and 2)follow allira_dream's idea and channel my RAAAAGE in a positive way:

GIVE ME A CHARACTER WHO IDENTIFIES AS FEMALE. Then I will write you the reasons why the lady is awesomer than awesome. It might be my squealing, it might be a drabble, it might be five reasons. The point is, I will gush about a female character, then YOU can gush about said female character and we will all be a little bit happier because 'FUCK YEAH, SHE'S AWESOME'.

I'll probably go for squealing/listing reasons instead of drabbles. But still. GO WILD.

My favourite thing about Martha is that she's a nerd and is not afraid to show it! She gets the chance to travel through time and space and her first reaction is "but I've got exams". She has a geeky sense of humour, she fangirls Shakespeare, she lets Lazarus kiss her hand to collect his DNA, she saves the world with a Harry Potter spell.

Then she saves the world in many, many other ways, too. And she doesn't only think in the large scale - she connects with people, always. She's interested in them as individual persons and lets it show.

And when she gets into a messy unrequited love thing that's only hurting her? She steps away, not because she thinks she doesn't deserve the Doctor or anything, but because she knows she's awesome and deserves better. And goes to keep on saving the world.

I love Martha so much.
