They tried to be Strong Female Characters. It didn't work out.
The plucky tomboy who disguises herself as a man to rescue the beautiful princess. The headstrong girl who flees an arranged marriage to find her own path as a mercenary. The ruthless assassin tamed by love.
You know the stories. So do these women. They tried their best to be the spirited heroines we all know and love.
But sometimes the plucky tomboy finds out the beautiful princess is kind of a wimp.
Sometimes the mercenary's meek sister is the truly dangerous one.
Sometimes the assassin loves her work too much to give it up.
Sometimes a heroine has to make her own story.
