This! I wish that we could see strong female characters that were multi-faceted.

I know that ToriJ started this thread based on a conversation we had yesterday. I said to him that I wish that more female villains had motives that weren't love related. It seems a lot of female villains became so because of love turned sour. Which is really boring.

But mostly, what Bubba said. I like characters that reflect that people are both good and bad, and someone can be shy and outgoing, funny and serious, nice and mean, selfish and selfless, etc all in one. People aren't one-dimensional, and it's better to have characters that aren't either. I prefer all characters to be written this way, but I do find that female characters fit much more into archetypes than male characters do.
