For scifiland's manifesto challenge.  (This is what I did this weekend instead of writing.  Whoops.)

1. She's pretty.

2. She will pwn you.

3. Her boyfriend is this handsome motherfucker.

 

4. She adorably pretends to not know English in order to flirt most adorably.

Right? Sometimes I just want to slow clap Delenn. Well done, girl. Well done.

Dude, seriously, I jumped up and cheered at her whole,"Be somewhere else...." speech. You just didn't hear that type of stuff from women a lot.

I was reading something recently, don't remember where, and it was talking about how anymore in SF, strong woman = woman who physically kicks ass. And while I like seeing that, don't get me wrong, I also appreciate female characters who are strong without necessarily having to whale on anyone. The only other character I can really think of off the top of my head who reminds me of Delenn - strong and independent, but because she's smart and resourceful, not because she beats people up - is Laura Roslin.

True dat.

Laura Roslin could back your ass up with just a glare. She also wasn't above doing whatever was necessary to ensure the survival of her people.
