Sarah from “Sarah’s Unicorn” by Bruce Coville when I was little. (as well as Matilda from Roald Dahl)
I’m not really like Sandra Foster from Connie Willis’s ‘Bellwether’, but I find her very easy to relate to and sympathize with.
I also relate to Toula from “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” and Amy Farrah Fowler from “The Big Bang Theory” more than I’d like to admit to…
Thing is, so many books have charismatic feminine women, or acidic tough-as-nails types who take on an army of rabid zombie honey badgers and win before breakfast, but it’s hard to find a middle ground…
That being said for the future, I want to grow up to be like Boneclaw Mother from Ursula Vernon’s graphic novel “Digger”…
