The 15 character meme going around

[shadowkat]

I'm not sure about this meme...because it requires a response and doing posts that require people to respond, worry me. Because, hello, what if no one does? Then you look a bit silly, right? Not to mention lonely? Also isn't a bit presumptious to be asking people to respond to your post and talk about you? I'm guessing no one else ever worries about these things?

But this looked a bit interesting to me...

List fifteen of your favorite characters from different fandoms, and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, if they're so inclined.

Yes, I think "actively competent female characters" and "sarcastic morally-ambiguous men" covers it.

Read frenchani's comment below - she nails the common thread amongst all of them - tough exterior, with a crack of vulnerability leading to potentially self-destructive behavior.
Tough as nails, sarcastic, hiding the vulnerable core.
