auroracloud: Bill Potts from Doctor Who (a young black woman in a rainbow top), looking pleased or smug (Bill pleased)
[personal profile] auroracloud
I got a stressful RL thing done, so here is the top four of my list of sci-fi women I've totally got the hots for and would like to sleep with if they wanted me. Plus generally appreciating their character.

Approximately in the order of lusting/crushing-on, though the order varies very much depending on the day.

- Cheris from Machineries of Empire
- Leela from Doctor Who
- Breq from Imperial Radch by Ann Leckie (counting her as a woman for the purposes of this list)
- Zoe Heriot from Doctor Who

So apparently I've really got a thing for badass women of action who could kill me (or my enemies) in an instant, and mathematical geniuses. Also, in visual media I enjoy nice legs and the possibility of seeing them, even if I wasn't the original object of the fan service.

Runners-up include Bill, Martha, and Victoria from Doctor Who, and Kizzy and Sissix from The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, but I can't draw such succinct conclusions from them. And both Red and Blue from This is How You Lose the Time War. It's harder to draw general conclusions, though Victoria adds support to the nice legs conclusion, and Red and Blue to the badass women of action. And I clearly like awesome and energetic women of colour. And feathers.

Also admittedly I might want to bed Missy if she was interested, and that would be a terrible idea.

I've started reading Empress of Forever, but it's too early to tell if I'm going to have to add to the list.

Maybe I'll do the fantasy version at some point.

LOL, well, I can see why Leela is at #2! And I do not know whether or not you would actually like Blake's 7 if you ever give it a try, but I think you'd very much be there for Jenna, Cally, Dayna, and Soolin. And maybe even Servalan, because she does have amazing style even if she would stab in the back as soon as look at you.

Missy doesn't have a problem with it. ;-D

I don't know; I like my fierce ladies and my out and out villain ladies, too, and definitely wouldn't be having with most of them in rl, so I think sometimes we just have fictional needs. (One of the many reasons people need to stop policing other people's fictional habits!)

It is on my list of "things to check out since Doctor Who fans seem to like it a lot" but I'm ever so slow at getting around to watching new TV shows. (New as in new to me, obviously.) Perhaps eventually!

It just made me think of them, and of course, it was script edited by Chris Boucher who created Leela, so I think the two always mesh together in my head, even if nobody else is quite like Leela.

I'm sure she doesn't, but I might find myself dead before, during or after, if the fancy strikes her! Which is not so good.

Missy still doesn't have a problem with that. ;-p
