Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish.
Top Ten Favorite Kick-Ass Heroines
1. Chas from Dearly, Departed – Holy smokes I adored this girl(ehhh..zombie?!). She was so awesome and such a sarcastic bitch, lol. She wasn’t scared of anything(well I suppose I wouldn’t be either if I was a zombie, hah) and was tougher than most of the guys. Love her.
2. Tris from Divergent 
I loved Tris in Divergent. Insurgent not so much, but in Divergent she was absolutely
kick ass! She was so tough and I loved it when she chose Dauntless <3
3. Kira from Partials
Kira was so tough in Partials. She didn’t care what anyone thought or when they told her no-
if she thought it was the right thing to do she was doing it; whether she was alone or not.
4. Katniss from The Hunger Games
I’m fairly certain that a lot of people will have this in their picks. I really loved Katniss off and on throughout
this series. Sometimes she acted weak but other times she was so strong and heroic.
5. Rose from Vampire Academy
I absolutely adore Rose. She might be one of my favorite chicks in YA. She is so sassy and tough,
and she is not listening to anyone if she believes she is right. LOVE HER!
6. Isabelle from The Mortal Instruments Series
I absolutely loveee Isabelle. I cannot wait to see how she is portrayed in the movies.
She is so spunky and bitter all the time. And tough as nails.
And there you have it. I cannot get to ten this week either. I often really dislike the girls in books and find them whiny and defenseless so I’m actually surprised I was even able to come up with six. And even the ones I have, two of them aren’t consistently amazing. Come on! Is it that hard to make some kick ass female characters, lol.
What are your picks this week? Please share – I did to discover some more awesome heroines!
Happy Reading!

I have Rose on my list as well. It would be impossible to have a list of kick ass characters without her! Great choices!
Oh Rose is amazing… so many people had her on their lists! I’m glad she is amazing! Thanks for stopping by!
Chaz sounds like an awesome character. A fierce one. Yes, I love that word. lol.

Chaz is wickeeedddd…. Nora(the MC) is amazing too but Chas blows her away lol Thanks for stopping in 🙂
I’ve seen a lot of lists with Rose. I must admit, I’ve never read The Vampire Academy, but I might need to remedy this since she’s such a great heroine!
OH u have to read it 🙂 They are awesome… I was really reluctant as well but then I sucked it up and read the first…and second…and now I’m on the third and I love them 🙂
Thanks for dropping by 🙂
I agree on Tris! She was kick ass in Divergent and I hope she’ll be like that again in the last part 🙂
OH me too.. I really got tired of her attitude in Insurgent and I want her to smarten up with Alex, lol.
Thanks for popping by!
I still want to read Partials and I’m glad to hear that at least one girl in the story is kick-ass! Love your list!
Oh Kira is def kick ass- she’s awesome 🙂 Thanks Helene!
Dearly Departed and Partials are both high on my TBR list. Great picks! 😀 My TTTs are at Musings on Fantasia and LKHill. Happy Tuesday! 😀
I love Rose so much, she’s definitely one of my favorite heroines. I’ve seen Partials on a few lists now, it’s in my to-read pile! Great list!
