Female Characters I Like by Jediteen

 

 Here is a similar list to the one I just did--only this time I'm using female characters! 

 

MOVIES

 

Rey: Rey is a very new character from the new Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens. I thought that it was very cool to have a girl who was beginning to be a Jedi; she seems like a Force natural! She has the most personality of any female Star Wars character yet! 

 

Elsa: Who would think to put the ever-singing Elsa from Frozen on this list? Well, me. I love Queen Elsa, and even "Let it go"! Elsa is a strong character who is able to figure out her powers, after much struggle. 

 

Elastigirl: Elastigirl is the super-mom of The Incredibles. She can stretch her limbs to great lengths and turn herself into a parachute and a raft to save her kids! 

 

Princess Leia: Okay, fine. Every girls who is over 40 years old (and lots younger) have wanted to be Princess Leia from Star Wars. I dressed up as Leia for Halloween. She is a senator, a princess, and a general! She can fight the bad guys with a blaster! 

 

Anastasia: The missing Russian Princess Anastasia is a great historical mystery. Don Blueth explored the story in an animated fairytale format, where Anastasia wants to make her way to reunite with her grandmother. 

 

Princess Atta: Okay, you're probably tired of hearing about movie princesses, but this princess is an animated ant from A Bug's Life. Say that five times fast! 

 

Anna: Here's yet another princess! She is the younger sister of Elsa from Frozen. She is an awkward teenage optimist who is very tired of being stuck in her castle with no company! 

 

Dorothy: Most people know about this girl from The Wizard of Oz, who just wants to get home to Kansas when she is stuck in the wonderful land of Oz. 

 

 Cinderella: I love both Disney Cinderellas, the animated one, and the live-action one. She works obediently for her stepmother. 

 

Maria: The singing nun from The Sound of Music never gets old in this joyful musical! She becomes a governess for seven children. What an adjustment! 

 

Mary Poppins; another governess, Mary Poppins has a magical touch! She can take the children on imaginary adventures! 

 

Rapunzel: One last Disney Princess, Rapunzel, is from Tangled. She has 70 feet of magical hair, which has healing powers. Unfortunately, Mother Gothel wants to use her for other purposes! 

 

BOOKS

 

Skye Penderwick: Skye is my favorite Penderwick sister from the Pernderwicks series. She likes to think about math, soccer, and black holes, and she has quite a temper! 

 

Clementine: Clementine is a spunky third grader in Sara Pennypacker's books. She is hilarious! 

 

Meg Murry: It was a dark and stormy night. Meg Murry is one of my favorite characters from A Wrinkle in Time. She is an ordinary girl who is swept off an extraordinary adventure to rescue her father from a distant planet. 

 

Anna Wang: Anna is a young Chinese-American girl who learns how to be a friend, a sister, and travels to China!  The books are written by Andrea Cheng. 

 

Jo March: One of the most classic female characters from Little Women. She is a natural-born writer. 

 

India Opal: India Opal is the ten-year-old girl from Because of Winn-Dixie. She is a lonely girl whose dog helps her to make friends. 

 

Miri: Miri is a simple mountain girl from Shannon Hale's Princess Academy. She turns out to be an unlikely hero who can rescue other girls from danger. 

 

Eilonwy: A wonderful Princess from The Chronicles of Prydain. She is a girl who prefers sleeping on the ground to sleeping in a castle, and would rather fight with a sword than be sewing. 

 

Ramona Quimby: A classic character from the Beverly Cleary books, Ramona will make you laugh and laugh! 

 

Suzy Swanson: A newer character from a new children's book, The Thing about Jellyfish, Suzy wanders through the grief of her friend and tries to prove why she died. 

 

Hermione Granger: A Harry Potter girl, Hermione is obsessed with doing her schoolwork perfectly. It turns out that her friends are more important than her schoolwork. 

 

Betsy Ray: Betsy is a girl from the Deep Valley books by Maud Hart Lovelace. Watch her and her friends Tacy and Tib grow up in the early 1900s.

  1. What a wonderful list! Lots of favorites of mine here. Rapunzel probably ties with Belle as my favorite Disney princess. I also really love Lucy from the Narnia books and Anne from the Anne of Green Gables books, and Luna Lovegood is my favorite Harry Potter character after Hagrid. Sister Robert Anne in Sister Act is another character I really love - like me, quiet but learning how to share her voice with the world. So glad there are so many great female characters out there to inspire us! :)
