I actively attempted to choose 15 different fandoms. Even though I might have multiple favorite characters from each, I forced myself to make a choice (just like Sophie).

OK, I'm going to call out the obvious one myself. With the exception of one character, all of my choices are of the male gender. I fully admit that the best I hope for with most heroines is that they don't annoy me too much. :/ I don't know what the psychology behind that is, why I find most female protagonists so annoying. Then there are some heroines I genuinely like (such as Dana Scully or Veronica Mars), but who I don't like as much as their male counterpart, and since I could only choose one, they lost out.

Maybe this says less about me than it says about how females are portrayed in TV and literature. Yeah, that's it.
