Could be you want bits of X but with elements of Y. Could be there's one who you'd love to be like overall. Share it below!

Kathryn Janeway and Ellen Ripley. Both for the same reason; leadership ability.
-
Oh Ripley is a good one! She's brilliant
-
Without muss, fuss or ego, she just takes control of whatever situation she finds herself in. And she's strong enough that everyone accepts it because she leads by example and proves that she knows what she's talking about every time.
Quiet confidence.
Very much reminds me of Tyrion Lannister telling his grandson that any man who has to keep saying he's the king is no true king.

I was going to go with some elements of Xena, but you got me with Ripley. Strong, competent, no patience for foolishness, cat-approved.

As a kid I really related to Hermoine from Harry Potter, I guess I still stand by that (just ignore JK Rowling). 😄
-
Haha yep! Shame about her. She's known for Harry Potter and hatred

"It's levio-SAH, not le-VIO-sa."

Galadriel, I wouldn't be afraid of anything

Good call!

You could smash all the traits of the women on the Serenity into one, and that would be the greatest human ever.
Zoe, the leader and badass fighter? Check. Kaylee, the effervescent mechanical prodigy, who acts as both Mom and moral compass? Check! Inara, the sensual stateswoman that brings a modicum of legitimacy to an otherwise OUTLAW operation? Yup. And River? Who doesn't want a wispy little dancer that can utterly destroy a Reaver raiding party, singlehandedly?

I couldn’t come up with anything but you nailed it!

Now that I'm considering this, I'm finding the idea of safe-haven-grandma attractive. Smart. Knows her herbs and medicinals. Bakes a kickass carrot cake. Takes in strays of all sorts for a little time or not. Kind of like the oracle from Matrix, but less secretive.

Jessica Fletcher (Murder She Wrote). Observant, kind, good writer, independent, makes friends with ease, sticks up for the truth, makes the police look incompetent.
-
I'd really like to have Cersei from GoT manoeuvring skills and political acumen, although I'd only use them for good. I'd love to be as fierce as Gemma from Sons of Anarchy but with Willow from Buffys sweet nature. Overall there's no one character I'd want to be.
-
I liked Daenerys Targaryen from GoT, she went through a lot of abuse/trauma but learned to assert herself and rose up to free slaves, kill slave masters, and raise dragons. She seemed to be a feminist icon, wanting to end oppression. But the TV show decided to ruin her character, ugh.
-
awww, I love Willow 🥰 such a good choice

Lots of good choices already here ... I'm going to go with Nadja from What We Do in the Shadows, she's bold and smart, and ¿supportive? Also, kills a lot if assholes.
