1. Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games trilogy. If you looked up kick-ass in the dictionary, there'd be a picture of Katniss.
2. Lisbeth Salander from the Millenium trilogy. She may be socially inept, but she's intelligent, feisty and sure knows how to get revenge.
3. Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series. Without Hermione, I'm pretty sure Voldemort would still be around... and Harry probably wouldn't be. The boys wouldn't have gotten anywhere without her.
4. Anne Shirley from the Anne of Green Gables series. Oh, Anne-girl. I have a special place in my heart for the little ginger. She belongs on this list purely for the moment she broke her slate over Gilbert Blythe's head - although she's all other kinds of awesome, too.
5. Lizzie Bennet from Pride and Prejudice. Lizzie doesn't have to be a zombie slayer to kick butt: she does it classic-style, with her sharp tongue and fine eyes.
6. Josie Alibrandi from Looking for Alibrandi. I love all of Melina Marchetta's heroines, but Josie is special to me because I grew up with her. Sure, she's kinda annoying at times, but I adore Josie for her passion and her ability to fight for what she believes in.
7. Jane Eyre from Jane Eyre. C'mon, the freaking book is named for her. How kick-ass is that? What's even more kick-ass is Jane's self respect: She demands to be treated as an equal, and won't compromise herself or her values for anyone (even the swoony Rochester).
8. Scout Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird. Scout is everything I wasn't as a kid: tomboyish, brave, unafraid to speak her mind... but I think she's amazeballs. She packs such a big punch (in more ways than one) for someone so small.
9. Rose Hathaway from the Vampire Academy series. I read this series straight after Twilight, and it's safe to say Rose is the antithesis to Bella Swan. Forget falling for vampires - she stakes them! And, uh, just falls in love with her teacher instead... moving on.
10. Matilda from Matilda. Look at that, another title-worthy character. Matilda is intelligent, brave, cheeky, strong-minded and magical - and her favourite thing in the world is books. What's not to love?
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
Elizabeth Bennet and Jane Eyre made it on my list too! =D Such classic, awesome, kick-ass heroines hehe

ReplyDeleteHere's my Top Ten.
Nice thinking, she is definitely popular!

ReplyDeleteOne of my fave characters ever
Deletegreat picks, Hermione and Katniss on Our Wow too! Katie @ Inkk
ReplyDeleteThey're popular choices!
DeleteGreat post! Lisbeth Salander for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteOne of the best modern heroines!
DeleteI was cracking up at the BAMF girls club references --- sooo amazingly funny! Katniss and Hermoine definitely make my top 10 as well (seriously, how could they not?). I loved that you picked Scout and Matilda to add to this as well. They are what I like to call "heroines outside of the box," meaning they aren't like literally kick-ass but they are still heroines nonetheless. Great choices, Belle!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nikki. I love heroines who can kick metaphorical ass ;)
DeleteI agree with so many of these girls from your list :) Especially Hermione, Katniss and especially Lisbeth. She is definitely
ReplyDeletekick ass !
I also think Tris from Divergent is pretty kick ass :)
I haven't read Divergent yet but everyone seems to love it
DeleteAww, the Anne-girl. <3
