When I was much younger, Sofie from the Dick King-Smith Sofie series. A scruffy little tomboy that loves animals.

When I was young, Lyra Silvertongue from His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. A highly intelligent girl who is curious, fearless, and doesn’t let anyone tell her what to do. A bit of a troublemaker.

Now, probably someone closer to The Mercenary Librarians by Kit Rocha. Strong women who work to better their community in a dystopian world, all while going on missions to save books and literature. (I use my library branches a lot, I purchase from indie bookstores, I buy cheap used books at the library bookshop and deposit them in neighborhood little free libraries, etc.)

Helena from Orphan Black.

Rosa from Brooklyn Nine Nine. Intensely private, has a stoic facade but surprisingly soft on the inside.

Eda from the Owl House, honestly. Adventurous, middle finger to authority, civil. Has a curse that affects her when she can get too tired or angry (but often for justice). Doesn’t give much of a fuck, literal girlboss.

Nat from yellow jackets! It’s set in the 90s which is my era, she’s vulnerable and alternative. She’s just like me
