Hello fellow RP members!
I am a certified Heroine YAddict!(thanks to Heldervert for that prestigious title) and no I don't mean that I get high as a kite on illegal substances particularly Heroin. For one I don't know anyone personally who is a drug dealer, and two I can't afford such vice and three I say no to drugs!
What I do get high off is my love for strong female protagonists, the "Heroines" of the Young Adult books and series that are strong willed and occasionally physically strong, capable, resilient, complex, flawed and not necessarily perfect in their personalities but can kickass and are badass. These fictional young girls that I root for and care for and sometimes I am in awe of them. Secretly I want to be their BFFs or sidekick if I was several years younger than I am right now *sigh* and living in their fantasy world.
Here are some of my top fave YA HEROINES and in no particular order :
