Beatrice--
Full of Shakespearian quick wit, Beatrice thinks she knows her heart. She certainly knows her mind and speaks it in a time well before she had a social right to do so.

This proves rather useful in stopping the living dead in their tracks!

Dionysian Child's rating:
Descendants of the original leading lady who have what it takes to stand shoulder to shoulder with their male counterparts.
I have split the list into four catagories:
Beauty
Here lie all the great femme-fatals and temptresses along with those more innocently and naively charming.
A certain unquantifiable quality or charm that has the ability to assert control over the male sex making them weak at the knees and putty in the hands.
Brains
Those women who can hold their own in the intellectual battle field.
Equipped with quick wit and a sharp tongue or enough mental genius to get out of a tight spot.
Brawn
Because hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!
Muscle bound goddesses who defy the laws of anatomy to challenge the likes of Hercules and Achilles. Not thinking twice before stepping in the line of fire driven by the necessity to survive, visions of revenge or a maternal instinct to protect.
Benevolence
The woman whose strength lies quietly in their iron will, good temperament, unshakable morals and youthful vitality. An often underestimated trait but one that keeps the world spinning and makes life and love worth fighting for.
These ladies will fight to the ends of the earth to defend their ideals using all the tools God equipped them with to achieve the means the their end.
All the while with a sweet good nature smile upon her lips.
