I WANT TO SECOND SARAH-JANE! AND MARIA! AND RANI! And the bit about how SJA is MILES better than Torchwood. Doctor Who-wise, Leela as well.

As for Jane Austen, I also love Catherine from Northanger Abbey. She is SO adorable and has some great moments with Henry and lets the Gothic books influence her thinking WAY too much and she is naive but I love her <3.
