This may be a bad idea, since I haven't used the prompts I was given last time I asked for them: in honour of International Women's Day

Name a woman in one of my fandoms and I will attempt a drabble (or something drabble-ish) about her.

If you give me a keyword or lyric, I will use it if it sparks something for me.

Fandoms: the Wimsey-verse. Doctor Who. The Vorkosiverse. Star Trek: TOS (and TOS-crew movies). Star Trek: Reboot. Star Trek: Deep Space 9. Harry Potter. Firefly. Narnia. Swallows and Amazons. Dalziel and Pascoe. Life on Mars (I should note I haven't seen any Ashes to Ashes). John Buchan.

[And I can't really call it a fandom as such, but: the New Testament].

Excellent! I was hoping someone would ask for her.

It was a toss-up between her and Hilda von Einem...

One thing that's always struck me about The Three Hostages is how much the Hannays trust each other.

Swallows & Amazons - Dorothea.

Vorkosiverse: Koudelka sister/s and Cordelia, a few decades in the future, passing the Bechdel test (I haven't read the most recent book)

Had you said the Old Testament, I'd have asked for Tamar (the Tamar who was Judah's daughter-in-law, not the one who was David's daughter).

And yes, I noticed that in this International Women's Day meme I'm identifying women almost solely by attaching them to men. :-(

But you said New Testament. Mary and Martha?

I blame canon :(

Will get back to you on the drabble front.

If you're up for something crossovery, how about Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan and Romana II?
