Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Kick-Ass Heroines

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's topic is Kick-Ass Heroines.

Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games

I think Katniss will be on a lot of lists today. Not only does she protect those she cares about, she's a great shot with that bow!

Alexia Tarabotti from The Parasol Protectorate

Armed with her trusty umbrella there isn't any supernatural Alexia can't handle.

Victoria Gardella Grantworth of The Gardella Vampire Chronicles 

I got into The Gardella Vampire Chronicles because Victoria is similar to my other favorite slayer, Buffy. Victoria dispatches vampires with her own stake, that her maid hides in her hairdo!

Findley Jane of Steampunk Chronicles

Findley's a bit of a bad ass. She's still trying to learn to control her urge to hurt but girl can lay a whooping on boys who get fresh with her.

Lisbeth Salander from The Millenium Trilogy

Lisbeth fascinated me when I read The Millenium series. She was and is unlike any other character I've ever read. 

Toby Daye from The October Daye series

As a knight, Toby gets sent on a lot of quests and has plenty of opportunities to both kick ass and get her ass kicked. I love her sarcastic sense of humor.

Georgia Mason from the Newsflesh trilogy

Georgia kicks ass with her words, not with her fists. As a blogger after the zombie uprising, Georgia searches for the truth in all the noise. 

Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series

I think Hermione's going to be on a lot of lists today too. Hermione's awesome. She's loyal friend, a great spell-caster and she stands up for what she believes in.

Who's on your list?
