AWESOME FEMALE CHARACTERS RANKING
This was done as a response to darkeyedwolf's comment to my "top five fannish things meme". She asked me to name my "top five female characters" so I turned it into a ranking for my most favorite female characters of all time in dramas and tv. I left out movies and anime and comics or the list would have been impossible to narrow down to ten let alone five.
Anyway let's get started!
10.
Theresa Lisbon (The Mentalist)
She's the no nonsense head detective of the CBI and the cheeky protagonist's opposite in every way. She is responsible, a total realist and doesn't quite get Jane and his flair for the dramatic. But she definitely loves him anyway and often gives him the benefit of the doubt in his sometimes outrageous theories and schemes. Lisbon just wants to solve crimes and catch bad guys. If that means accepting Jane's offbeat ways of crime solving then so be it. Lisbon is a good leader and an excellent cop. Always professional and always serious about her job, Lisbon also packs a big punch for such a small lady. In one episode when a suspect is on the run, Lisbon gives chase and eventually has to FLY TACKLE the suspect into the ground in order to arrest him. HARDCORE. Which is exactly what Lisbon is. and really you'd have to be kind of amazing to manage the troublesome Jane on a regular basis.
( The rest of the awesome Ladies are under the cut! )
Honorable Mentions:
Laura Roslin (Battlestar Galactica) (though really all the women on BSG are pretty badass but Madame President is my favorite)
Zoe (Firefly)
Martha Jones (New Doctor Who Series 3)
Chen Lin (Black & White)
Alex Drake (Ashes to Ashes)
Ayumu (LIFE)
Shan Cai (Meteor Garden)
Romana I & II (Doctor Who Series 4)
Pam (True Blood)
Yankumi (Gokusen)
Eun-Chan (Coffee Prince)
Makino Tsukushi (Hana Yori Dango) jdrama version not the anime or manga.
