Answer for question 4378.

[Error: unknown template qotd]I'm going to fudge it a little & pick my favorite characters from movies & TV & cartoons, because I can!
For movies: Danielle de Barbarac from Ever After
For TV: Barbara Wright from Doctor Who
For cartoons: Dot Matrix from ReBoot
They're all intelligent, courageous & principled ladies who stand up for what's right & never lose their compassion for others no matter what terrible situations they find themselves in. They've been role models I've aspired to be more like at various stages of my life, & I'm always amazed by their awesomeness whenever I re-watch the movie/shows they're in. My faves forever. ♥

I haven't seen Ever After in years but it was beautiful. I like your choice of Barbara also! You pick some wonderful characters who are not often mentioned. <3 (at least it seems like it)

Ever After is my all-time favorite movie, just such a beautiful film in every way. :)

Barbara probably doesn't get mentioned much in the larger Doctor Who fandom because a relatively fewer number of people have seen the very oldest episodes, but within the specifically Classic Who fandom, her awesomeness is mentioned frequently! No one mentions Dot much because ReBoot is a show with more of a small cult following than massive popularity, at least in America (it's Canadian), and had a relatively brief run in the 90s, but she is amazing too & such a fantastic character to have on a kid's show. Ass-kicking business-woman surrogate-mother rebel commanders don't come along every day!
