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.

    The Boss, MGS

    Not Big Boss, the man with the eye patch and is a bad guy, the woman who taught him and the mother of Ocelot

    She was such a badass woman that she inspired basically everyone around her to try to mold the world in the way they thought she saw it. Shes a great example of a woman/mother who’s a badass directly because of the skills normally associated with those roles. Yeah, she can fight and kick your main characters ass, but that’s mostly because she’s spent time nurturing him and caring for him to the point where he emotionally cannot fight her. She regularly disarms strong, imposing men (some with superpowers like lightning channeling) by just looking at them sternly and implying she’s about to call them by all 3 of their names in a disapproving tone

    Time and again she does badass things while she’s alive, and her death is technically the catalyst for the rest of the series as those who loved and admired her try to shape the world as she saw it, which isn’t even something she herself did because of her loyalty to her country.

    Oh and she’s voiced by the same woman who does Pearl from SpongeBob, which is wild
