Kick Ass Ladies - Tiffany Aching (Discworld)
Of all the Discworld books the only group of characters I love more than Vimes and the Watch are Tiffany Aching and the Nac Mac Feegles. And it really just comes down to how much ass Tiffany kicks.
Best place to start when explaining why Tiffany is so awesome is the fact that the Feegles follow her like she’s their general. They (mostly) listen and do what she says. The Feegles who (otherwise) listen to absolutely no one and are known to attract chaos and mayhem like little wee blue magnets.
Tiffany is also a witch. A very highly sensible, logical minded witch. A witch with the potential to be more bad ass than Granny Weatherwax. A witch who accepts the responsibilities that come with being a witch.
All of the books featuring Tiffany center around Tiffany taking responsibility for her actions and their consequences (with minimal whining). Being as Tiffany is a witch with some considerable potential her mistakes can have some rather interesting and extreme consequences. She doesn’t let this stop her from doing what’s right.
