Can be from any kind of media.

For me it’s Margot from The Magicians (which is interesting because in the books she is anything but) and Jesse Faden from Control.

      So timely for me… I love that character and just rewatched Better Call Saul! She is very attractive, even referenced for that trait multiple times in the show, but they never actually sexualize her. Across ~4000 final hours of show footage, her character was all about her work ethic, her intelligence, and her loyalty. Do you realize how rare that is for a modern young, attractive female character!? Rhea Seehorn is an amazing actor…

      I came here to mention her. She should be a case study on how to write believable, badass and strong characters

        Totally agree. She feels like a Dostoevsky character. Not a character, at all, just…a person. Totally believable.
