Strong Female Main Characters

For those of you who like to read fantasy with strong female leads I would recommend:

– Hidden Legacy Trilogy: Nevada Baylor

If you want a woman who is family-oriented and as fierce as a mama bear, Nevada Baylor will never let you down.

Warning: If you underestimate her, you’ll be sorry.

Nevada is a very strong independent woman. She does not accept help easily, especially from a guy. She is fiercely protective of her family at the cost of all others even when they wish she wasn’t. Trust isn’t something easily won. It could be a daunting task for anyone. However, once she does trust you, it is well worth the effort. She’s smart as a tack, and has a large heart.

– Raine Benares Series: Raine Benares

If you like snarky wit that shows itself even in the heat of danger, you will love Raine Benares.

Warning: Might make any situation worse with her inability to keep her mouth shut.

Raine always has something to say even when saying anything could get her killed. Her independence can get her into worse trouble, but she always gets herself out of tough spots with fast thinking and faster feet. Her moral compass is very strong and will do whatever she can to help someone who needs it, especially when it is someone she loves.

-Mercy Thompson Series: Mercy Thompson

If you need a woman who will always put herself in danger to save you, Mercy Thompson’s got you covered.

Warning: Will not apologize for giving you a heart attack

Mercy is another independent woman who has a hard time asking for help. She sees it as giving up a bit of her independence or putting her friends in unnecessary danger. She has a quick wit that can get her into trouble at the best of times, but no matter how many times she’s brought down, she picks herself right back up. Trouble seems to always find Mercy when she would rather be left alone. But, she will dive in head first to protect lives. She has plenty of friends to help her. The only question is if she will let them.

-World of the Lupi: Lily Yu

If you need a woman with a badge who isn’t afraid to get her job done, Lily Yu is your girl.

Warning: She will shoot you if you aren’t careful.

Lily is a woman of many qualities with justice and bravery right at the front. She will jump head first into the heat of battle to protect anyone and everyone. No battle is too big and no danger too threatening. Lily is a very open-minded person. She is understanding and kind. If anyone is in need of help, the choice is clear. Just call Lily.

-Vampire Academy: Rose Hathaway (YA)

If you want a girl who won’t let anyone stop her no matter how hard they try, meet Rose Hathaway.

Warning: Will ignore you if you ever try to tell her she can’t or shouldn’t do something.

Rose is a girl who has the biggest heart. Her loyalty will never be shaken once she is your friend. Whatever is best for her friends will happen no matter what it takes and who stands in her way. She is bold and brazen. Sometimes too much. It could easily get her in trouble. However, don’t underestimate her. It will be the last mistake you ever make.
