Doctor Martha Jones, who saved the flipping world and managed to get out of co-dependancy with the Doctor.
River Song! She's an older lady who is forward and sexual and confident, and that's so damn rare to see in a positive light. Also, I ship her and The Doctor so hard.
Barbara Wright, for being as epically badass as Donna in the very first seasons of Old School Who. Seriously, she's a teacher and she stands up to the Doctor with so much grace and style <3 If anyone says to me that the old school companions were screaming wimps, I will laugh in their face. (Not that there's anything wrong with screaming!).
Liz Shaw, who was a Third doctor companion and a competent, professional scientist, which can still be a rare thing to see.
Sarah-Jane Smith and every girl or woman on the Sarah-Jane Adventures. Even the evil ones. (WHY ARE YOU NOT WATCHING IT? SJA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NEW WHO > TIMES INFINITY TORCHWOOD).
Non-Who tv ladies
Jadzia Dax and Kira Nerys in Star Trek:Deep Space Nine. One's a science officer with a symbiont containing the memories of eight previous lives inside her, the other's a security officer who fought against the occupation of her home planet for most of her life. I've loved them both for half my life.
AERYN MOTHERFUCKING SUN from Farscape. Actually, most of the ladies from that show- Chianna, Z'haal, and a few I can't remember.
Leela from Futurama, because EPIC AWESOME. And I want her hair.
Buffy! I don't like Whedon that much these days, and I never really liked his dialoge style, but she is glorious and messed up and incredible.
Annie Cartwright from LOM! I was talking with a female police officer once, and we agreed that she'd have worked her way up to department head (I forget the police names for such things). It takes a lot of skill and grace to be in her job at that time. Also, she looked fierce whipping that swinger when undercover >:)
Olive, Vivian, Lily and Chuck from Pushing Daisies. I need to watch the last three episodes ;_;
Wendy Watson from The Middleman! She is incredible and geeky and latina and all of these things are just a part of her character- there's no ~special episode~ looking at them, Wendy just comes home and settles in front of her XBox or slips into Spanish when on the phone with her mum.
KATARA AND TOPH AND TY-LEE AND ALL THE FEMALE CHARACTERS OF AVATAR <33
And books/manga!
Lyra and Mrs Coulter from His Dark Materials.
THE WHOLE FEMALE CAST OF FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST. EVEN THE EVIL ONES.
DITTO FOR THE CLAYMORE MANGA.
Luna Lovegood! She is lovely and wise and strange and more than a little mad and I wish I was her.
Kel from Tamora Pierce's Tortall series! She's the second female trainee knight in the kingdom for the past hundred years, and the first to do it as a girl. Also she's one of Ms Pierce's few non-magical lead characters, which makes her extra badass >:)
The female characters of the Discworld books that I've read. Sadly not enough :(
Elizabeth Bennet, Elinor Dashwood and Anne Eliot. I have a never-ending love of Jane Austen.
All the ladies in The No 1. Ladies Detective Agency! And there are a lot of them.
I'm sure I've forgotton half of the ladies I love, but that's probably enough for now \o/
