Can be from any kind of media.

For me it’s Margot from The Magicians (which is interesting because in the books she is anything but) and Jesse Faden from Control.

    I mean, no one is really independent, but women in fiction tend to be very dependent on men as (almost) their primary personality trait.

    I loved Margot because she was as independent as anyone in real life can be. She did her own thing, helped her friends, let her friends help her, fucked up, owned it and fixed it (most of the time, anyway).

    All the characters were very realistic (well, if you ignore the magic).

      I mean emotionally independent. Margot had some serious needs. Functionally she’s totally independent. Probably all of them except Fen were.
