Top Ten Tuesday: Kick Ass Heroines

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is Top Ten Kick Ass Heroines.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Harry Potter, #5) Ginny Weasley Hermione may be book smart and skilled in charms, but Ginny could easily take any of her brothers with the intensity of her defensive spells.



Defiance (Defiance, #1)Rachel Adams - Instead of encouraging his daughter to take interest in skills of running a home, Jared Adams taught Rachel self-defense and how to fend for herself.



Temple of the Winds (Sword of Truth, #4)Cara - Mord Sith, an elite warrior, skilled in torture. You do not want to be on her bad side.



Fatal Voyage (Temperance Brennan, #4) Temperance Brennan - A smart, passionate forensic anthropologist. Sometimes she gets impatient, or ticks off the wrong person. But she can take care of herself.



Graceling (Graceling Realm, #1) Katsa - She is a skilled fighter and skilled in survival, she has served as the king's enforcer for years.



A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1) Arya - Spunky younger daughter of House Stark. Would rather do battle training with her brothers than act like a lady.



The Lord of the Rings Eowyn - Fiesty daughter of Rohan who runs off and joins the army. Quite a feminist character for the time.



Artemis Fowl (Artemis Fowl, #1) Holly Short - First female captain in LEPrecon history. Can be a loose canon, but definitely a match for Artemis Fowl.



Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls The Sisters Bennett - Take the Bennett sisters, add katanas. Stir. The five sisters turn fiesty in the war against the zombies.



The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #5)Annabeth Chase - Her mother is Athena, goddess of wisdom and warfare, so she has a natural talent for battle.
