My Ten Favourite "Diverse" Characters

It is my opinion that diversity in fiction is important. Here is a list (in no particular order) of ten of my favourite "diverse characters" from books, movies and TV shows. (I consider a character diverse if they are one or more of the following: a person of colour, LGBTQ or disabled.) Most of the characters on the list are girls. Sorry, I just tend to like female characters better than male characters. I am also sorry that there aren't any transgender characters on the list. There are, unfortunately, very few transgender characters in today's media.

1. Clarke Griffin is my favourite character of all time. She's the main character of the science fiction show The 100 and not only is she a badass female leader, she is also bisexual.

2. Lexa is another character from The 100. She is a military leader and she happens to like girls.

3. Raven Reyes is yet another character from The 100. She's a genius and a mechanic, and she is also a disabled women of colour.

4. Monty Green is another character from The 100. He is literally and angel and he is a person of colour.

5. Joan Watson is one of the two main character in Elementary. She was a doctor who became a sober companion, and then eventually became a detective. She is also a women of colour.

6. Guinevere is one of the main characters in the TV show Merlin, and she is a person of colour. Gwen becomes the queen of Camelot.

7. Korra is the main character of the TV show Legend of Korra. Korra is a bisexual women of colour.

8. Toph Beifong is from Avatar: The Last Airbender. She is blind, but she uses her power over the element of Earth to "see".

9. Martha Jones is a character from the TV show Doctor Who. She is a Doctor and she saves the world multiple times. She is a woman of colour.

10. Magnus Bane is from The Mortal Instruments book series. He is a bisexual person of colour.

Every Fairytale Needs a Good Old-Fashioned Villain

Soul Mates Edit

I tried to put pairs in here that were as different as possible. Some of them are romantic relationships and some of them are friendships. I could not, unfortunately, find and f/f pairings for this.

Shadow and Bone, John Green and Other Updates

This post is basically just about what I've been reading and watching recently.

I read Four: A Divergent Collection. I thought I might find it difficult to get into because I read the rest of the series so long ago, but I actually really enjoyed it. Tobias is a great character and I am more than ever convinced he's an ISFJ.

I also finished the Shadow and Bone series. I liked it, thought it wasn't my absolute favourite. I was really absurdly happy about a random thing that happened in the last book. I'm planning on doing a "YA Epic Fantasy" post soon, once I read a few more series.

I have been reading the Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix. I read Sabriel, which I enjoyed and I have also read Lirael, which I enjoyed even more (even though the end was a bit predictable). I am going to read Abhorsen soon.

I have also read a bunch more books by Agatha Christie. I don't know when I'm going to stop reading Agatha Christie, but it won't be soon.

I read Silver Shadows by Richelle Mead. The Vampire Academy/Bloodlines books aren't really the type of book I generally read, but my friend loves them so I read them. The fifth book (or eleventh, depending on whether or not you count Vampire Academy and Bloodlines as the same series) was okay. The ending (while exciting for Sydrian fans) was a bit annoying, in my opinion. I really enjoyed the re-education stuff, though.

I am currently reading Looking for Alaska by John Green. I finished An Abundance of Katherines the other day. I enjoyed Katherines, thought it's realistic fiction and that will never be my favourite. It had math in it, which was fun. Looking for Alaska is good too. I'm going to read Paper Towns next. I put all the John Green books on hold at the library and they all came at the same time.

I am very close to finishing the TV show Merlin. I have three more episodes left. I will post a lot of Merlin stuff once I finish.

More Agatha Christie (And Other Stuff)

I have been reading more books by Agatha Christie. (The ABC Murders and Death on the Nile.) They are quite addicting. Once I've read a bunch I'll make a post about my favourites and stuff.

Other random news: I am almost finished with season 4 of Merlin. Yay! It's a great show.

Also, I'm going to be starting school again soon. This means that I'm not going to be posting as much. Instead of posting once every two days, I'll probably be posting once a week. Maybe a bit more.

Ash

I recently read a book called Ash. To be honest, I only read it because I searched "YA lesbian fantasy" on Google and it was pretty much the only result I got. I was hoping it would be really good. I did like it, but it wasn't what I hoped it might be. It's a retelling of Cinderella. Ash (Cinderella) falls in love with the king's huntress instead of the prince. While I liked the book, I would have loved it if it was longer.

In other news, I have started season 3 of Merlin. I am also freaking out because school starting again soon and I don't want it to. I will post much less frequently when September comes.

I've noticed that it's been almost a year since I started this blog. That is quite incredible.

Merlin

I have recently started watching a new TV show called Merlin. I'm almost finished with the second season. It's about Merlin (obviously) and Arthur Pendragon and all the characters are really awesome and I'm kind of obsessed. I have been watching at least one episode every day.

Here is my current list of fandoms:

• The Lord of the Rings
• Harry Potter
• Percy Jackson
• Sherlock
• The Mortal Instruments
• The Hunger Games
• Divergent
• Merlin
• Doctor Who
• The Inheritance Cycle (does this have a fandom?)
• Ender's Game (not sure this has a fandom)
• The Fault in Our Stars
• The Perks of Being a Wallflower (this is a fandom, right?)
• Vampire Academy

And here are some books I'm obsessed with that don't have fandoms:

• Keys to the Kingdom
• The Raven Cycle
• The Lunar Chronicles
• Legend
• The Book Thief
• Graceling
