| I'm going to add Rhapsody from the book of the same name. Innocently pulled into world-affecting events - she handles it all with aplomb, intelligence, and a general good nature and will to do 'what's right'. Because of the nature of her original journey (I won't go farther in for those who haven't yet read this) she gains a unique perspective at the same time losing all that she's known. I probably would have gone stark raving mad in the same situation...but the author doesn't present her as a cardboard cutout of 'generic female do-gooder', we see her vindictive side, her past sorrows, her newly acquired wisdom...anyway a good, well-rounded character and strong and female to boot. |
