Imeant to say this earlier, but Asha does kind of creep me out with the whole grabbing Theon's bulging groin in aCoK.

Why thank you very much. We kind of lose track of mer especially with aFfC not dealing with Bran and Rickon and the Cranogmen at all. Has the potential to be very cool.

I would say that there are some chapters that allow specifically for observational roles, but not soley the female characters. The chapters with Arya in the last book, Danearys from midway through aGoT until now, and some of Cersei's chapters have provided major parts of the story and laid the foudations to where it's going.
An assumption would be that most of the female charcters that have had the observational roles are likely taht way because Martin is suggesting that is the place of women in that society. Sansa specifically come to mind, but then again Sansa has hardly been a proactive character, and most of her chapters are hardly storyline shaking. The female charcters that seem to appeal to most of us are the ones who have broken from the traditional sheepish mold of women in a medieval society. Danearys forming her own Khalessi, Arya learnig the water dance and progressing in her training, etc.. The thing that I find interesting is that both male and female posters seem to have the same thoughts appreciations.
I just love the fact that all of us have read the same books and bring such different insights to some of the same charcters and storyline.
