Friday Favourites - Girls Who Can Kick A Little Butt

I don't know what it is, but there is something so ultra cool about a girl who can kick some butt. I love watching movies or reading a book where the girl is physically very capable and doesn't need a guy to rescue her.

I guess that's why I wrote Gemma the way I did... and man, was it fun! I love the way she can take care of herself. Because I'm totally biased, I'd say she was my fav.

However there are many girls out there to be celebrated. So I'd also like to include...

Katniss from the Hunger Games series. She is awesome and I can't wait to see her on screen later this year. Excitement!!!

I also quite like Cammie Morgan from "I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have To Kill You". Her friend, Rebecca Baxter, can be pretty fierce too. Lots of fun :)


And I feel like I can't ignore the one and only, Hermione Granger. Now there is a girl who knows how to cast a decent spell.


So - who are your favourite kick ass girls?

  1. As strange as this sounds, I've always like Anne of Green Gables. She could always stand up for herself and was very feisty. I'm sure if she was written in today's modern environment she would kick butt!

    "What about the character that Jennifer Garner played in the Alias TV series a few years back? She was awesome."

  3. I love Gemma as a character :) I'm nearly at the end of Golden Blood now and I'm hooked by Gemma and Harrison.

    She totally reminds me of Number 6, played by Teresa Palmer in the movie I Am Number Four

    1. Yay - I'm so glad you like Gemma. She is a lot like Number 6. I love the story for I Am Number Four. Very cool concept.

  4. Katniss is amazing! I just saw the second trailer for the movie and it looks like they may have captured her fire (hopefully). I am praying Hollywood has done the books some justice.

    1. I feel exactly the same way. I'm sure they will. I remember reading the book thinking it would make a great movie.
