So. About that annoying female character flowchart.

[laurus_nobilis]

(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.

Heh, someone on my JF flist is also ranting about that flowchart.

For the meme, how about Nakuru, with some meta on why she identifies as female? Or if not, then Suki from ATLA.

It looks like it managed to annoy a looot of people.

I haven't read CCS in quite a while so I don't feel confident enough for the meta, but I can ramble about Nakuru's awesome anyway! She's hilarious, and she seems to be having such fun all the time. She knows what she wants, and she'll try her hardest to get it - but she doesn't get bitter or jealous if she fails. One of my favourite things about her is how, after all she tried and tried and tried to get Touya's magic, in the end she's just "oh well!" about it and in fact becomes a lot friendlier towards Yukito. And I love the way she treats her family, too. She teases Spinel and gets Eriol to make her stuff, yes, but you can tell how much she really loves them.

And Suki... wow, where do I start? That girl is made of pure awesome. She's brave, she's resourceful, she never gives up. She's got a sense of humour, but she knows what things need to be taken seriously, too. She's open-minded and welcoming and willing to give people a second chance. And she'll take no nonsense from anyone!
