100 female characters I love

[lizbee]

Meme grabbed from the_grynne. This one was hard, not because I don't love a whole lot of characters, but because I kept drawing total blanks as I struggled to remember what I've read and watched. Case in point: I totally forgot about Harry Potter until I was almost at the end.
