[Discussion] Flawed canon and "bad" characters

[anenko.livejournal.com]

Who are your favourite "guilty pleasure" female characters? The ones who aren't good examples of what can be done with female characters, but who you deeply love anyway?

Have you spent hours creating backstory for a female character whose sole purpose in canon is to provide eyecandy for fanboys? Do you feel wildly passionate about a woman from a badly written, sexist series? Is your OTC a woman who died in the first episode of a new series, before the opening credits even began to roll?

But not that you're bitter, or anything. -g-

God, hated, hated, hated what they did to Martha. She never got a story of her own. It especially pisses me off considering how good a lot of the female characters in series one. It's not that they can't write women, it's just that they totally decided not to. And have said so.
