halfamoon, here's a game: name a canon you know I know, and I'll tell you (in no particular order) my three favorite females and why. And then I'll name a canon for you, because I'm just as curious as I am eager to share.

Ah, 24...
Date: 2010-01-31 01:47 am (UTC)1. Most favoritest: Kim Bauer. OK, second season she had the WORST PLOTLINE EVAR. However. This does not negate my opinion that she is awesome. We watch her grow up through the series and I have to tell you that I am so proud of how she turned out. She is her father's daughter, and I mean this in the best way possible.
Though fandom calls her whiney, bratty, and unimportant to the plot (!), I adore her precisely because that's what she starts out as: a whiney, bratty teenager. And she adores her dad, and butts heads with her mom, and she's so typical it makes you hurt, but she's got strong stuff inside her. Now she's married and is a mom, and you can tell where all her strength comes from. One of whom is:
2. Terri Bauer. Yeah, she was only on one season, but her influence carries on. She was the best mother-character I'd seen in a long time. She wasn't syrupy sweet, she was a loving wife and mother (and an interior decorator!) with a spine of steel. For those of you who think Jack is over her? You don't get over a woman like that, ever.
3. Kate Warner. *ducks tomatoes from fandom* I know, I know. She isn't 'kickass'. But she was a wonderfully written character, even if she was a little paranoid. But she was a wonderful, 'normal person' character in the middle of a horrible, horrible day. And she was as brave as she could be. What more could anyone ask?
