Female characters meme, take 2

I wasn't thrilled by the first cut, but a friend (codeword GRIFFIN) just sent her own version, with a much better male list, so I figured I might take another stab. Part of that needs to be re-defining the task to be more doable. Apparently there was an older version of this, where you'd do pictures and explanations, but not go up to 100. I don't know if I'm up for paragraph explanations, but tagging between "I like"/"powerful"/"good role model"/etc. or just giving a short reason seem like advisable minima.

Of course, that depends what the point is. More details give a better sales pitch for the character and their fiction, and insight into you for why you like them. A longer list may work better for raw awareness. Then there's love (very personal) awesome (higher standard nominally,but by what standard?), strong, or interesting, among others. If it were a matter of a union of interesting and non-wallflower traits then I could easily have soared past 100. Anya, Joyce, Faith, Fred, and Cordelia from Buffy; Haley and Miko from OOTS; Wanda and Jillian from Erfworld; 6 chars from Higurashi; Princess Leia; both Daxes from DS9; Lyta Alexander and Delenn from B-5; Felice, Mercy, and Elizabeth from Pliocene; Signy Mallory and others from Cherryh; Menolly and Lessa from Pern; Zeetha and Bangladesh Dupress from Girl Genius; Nirrti from SG-1. Ding! 102, more or less.

So I'm going to try the more personal approach and see what grows. Also indicating medium, so you have some idea what you haven't heard of them. I'm also going to restrict to more or less human females. Elves count, AIs and robots and non-humaniform aliens won't.

Okay, I've spent an hour so far. This is way too much work to do this way...

Let's try yet again, sticking to explanatory one-liners, or tags, if I can.
