favorite female characters? not from HP but in general.

Well, I have many, but I’m going to mention the ones I remember because I’m terrible at making lists like this on the spot — I always forget people — so I’ll just say whoever comes to mind.

Lady Bird: from the movie Lady Bird by Greta Gerwig. If anyone wonders what I was like as a teenager, I was very much like Lady Bird (terrible story with the typical soft intellectual boy who smokes and reads Tolstoy included). I’ve never felt so identified with a coming-of-age film. That movie was literally me, including the complicated relationship with her mother — mine and I didn’t get along back then — and also the crash-and-burn experience of going to college, plus the pretentious aspiration of being part of an intellectual elite like the Beat Generation. The only thing that didn’t happen to me was trying to fit in with rich people and having a boyfriend who turned out to be gay, but the essence of the movie is very similar to my adolescence. I’m from a mid-sized city that felt too small at the time, and I went to a Catholic school. That character stirs a lot of emotions in me.

Brooke from Mistress America, also wich is por trajes by Gerwig. Basically, I’m Brooke now. Greta Gerwig and I must be soulmates or something because for some reason her female characters always have qualities I deeply relate to. Or maybe we’re just two highly dysfunctional people who don’t really know what to do with our lives. This also leads me to Frances from Frances Ha.

Julie from The Worst Person in the World, another character I strongly relate to. In this house we love young adult women with clear attachment issues, chaotic and aimless lives, low-key depressed, semi-alcoholic, and with disastrous personal lives.

Cassandra from Promising Young Woman. Crafting a perfectly planned revenge to ruin the lives of your best friend’s abusers after they drove her to suicide? Something I’d totally do. I love her.

The protagonist of My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh, who remains unnamed. Basically, a girl bored with life and deeply depressed who decides to take a sabbatical year popping every kind of antidepressant, anxiety med, tranquilizer, hypnotic, and psychiatric drug to spend the year sleeping and watching Whoopi Goldberg movies. An absolute queen. We stan.

Elle Woods from Legally Blonde. Always rooting for women who perform traditional femininity while proving they can be fashion-obsessed, beauty salon-loving, ambitious, brilliant, and determined to make the world a better place. Let’s protect the Elle Woodses of this dark, hostile world — we need them to keep the darkness at bay.

Emma Woodhouse from Emma. My favorite Jane Austen novel and my ultimate heroine. Emma is like a mix of Elle Woods and Blair Waldorf. Many people adore Lizzie Bennet because they think she’s super badass, but there’s no one more badass than Emma Woodhouse. In a time when all women were husband-hunting, she was perfectly content living with her father. She literally mentions that her father will leave her a huge inheritance, and she doesn’t need kids because she already has her nieces and nephews — so why rush? She’s super frivolous but has this childlike charm that makes her adorable. She can be insufferable and even a mean girl, but she never acts out of malice — she just lives in her own bubble. Also, the best Austen hero ever is Mr. Knightley. He’s the ultimate “my future wife is my best friend, and I love her so much that I’m willing to leave my mansion to live in hers with her quirky dad because she doesn’t want to be separated from him.” Such malewife vibes. We love malewives.

Katniss Everdeen. Katniss is fed up with everything and just wants to die. She’s not a compliant or pleasant protagonist, and I love that. Many people dislike her because she doesn’t fit many typical narrative standards for female characters, and we love her for that.

Sansa Stark: Hating Sansa Stark is pure misogyny, period. Sansa is the most realistic female character in the entire saga, and that’s why everyone hates her. She’s not about muscles, swords, dragons, or powers. Sansa is about brains, learning, growth through hardship, cunning, and manipulation. We love our damsel-in-distress-turned-political-strategist. A true survivor. I love her; if anyone messes with her, I’ll fight.

My beloved Lila Cerullo and Elena Greco from My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante. If you haven’t read The Neapolitan Novels, you’re seriously missing out. No one has captured the complexity of female friendship over the years like Ferrante. No one has portrayed femininity in a patriarchal world better. It’s a story about violence — all kinds, from physical to structural and political — against women, class violence, and social violence. It’s a story about love, loss, generational change, and the turbulent twists of the 20th century. But above all, it’s the story of two girls, two teenagers, two women navigating a violent world that tries to shut them out from the start — a world they must carve their way through, blow by blow. Two women who are two sides of the same coin. Two women who represent passion and reason, natural talent and hard work, lack of opportunity and breaking new paths, physical violence and psychological manipulation. But most of all, two women bound together since childhood by a complex, toxic, beautiful, and tragic friendship. This saga will break your heart but also fill you with life. It’s truly magnificent.

And well, I can’t think of any more right now, but if you’re familiar with these, you’ll get a sense of the type of characters I enjoy.

Lol so I made a comment on a FB post in a fan group about Emma Greco signing with Boston that was basically "NOOOOO Minnesota's hockey wives now will be rivals! Minnesota's loss," and someone who appears to be Emma Greco's mom liked it.

New article from Cee Benwell for Hockey News about Michela Cava and Emma Greco.

https://thehockeynews.com/womens/pwhl/partners-michela-cava-and-emma-greco-adjusting-to-playing-hockey-in-separate-cities

Partners Michela Cava and Emma Greco Adjusting to Playing Hockey in Separate Cities

Michela Cava and Emma Greco are no longer teammates on the ice, but the off-ice partners remain PWHL regulars and support each other's careers from afar.

As the PWHL’s second season gets underway, players are adjusting to their new surroundings, whether they are rookies, returning players, or those new to a team through free agency.

Some, like married partners Marie-Philip Poulin and Laura Stacey, have the privilege of playing and working alongside their significant others. Others, like the newly engaged and new-to-the-league draftees Ronja Savolainen and Anna Kjellbin, will be together in the league, but in separate cities.

For former Minnesota Frost teammates and partners in life, Emma Greco and Michela Cava, this season brings an unfamiliar situation: for the first time, they are on different teams. They met two years ago while on the PHF championship Toronto Six and moved on together to the championship Minnesota team in the PWHL.

However, after their first season, Emma, a rugged defensive defender, signed with the Boston Fleet, the very team that Minnesota had defeated in the Walter Cup finals. Cava, meanwhile, re-signed with the team for one year.

Greco said they’ve never faced each other since they have been together.

“No, never, first time. I mean it will definitely be weird, but you know, when you're on the ice, nothing else matters.”

Cava added that they knew this situation was ahead of them, and they were prepared.

“I feel like we had time to process it in the summer. We've known for a while that this was the way it was going to be and I obviously find it very tough, but you put the business part first and you want to be professional and that's my number one focus is to be ready every time I go on the ice.

“We've definitely looked into the schedules and have planned time to go and see each other and unfortunately the drive is pretty far so it will be a lot of extra flying time.”

Greco added, “Being apart this season is definitely difficult but there are others in the league who are in the same boat. This is our job and right now it comes first.”

The two will get some video calls in and stay in touch as much as they can.

It's nice that we have that [technology] these days to be able to FaceTime our families,” said Cava.

“Even if it's for five, 10 minutes, just to see how everything's going. So it's obviously not the same, but we're lucky that we have access to that and being able to at least see each other and make that work.”

“We've definitely looked into when our teams will play each other, but of course, it will be all business first trying to focus on our games and then obviously we'll try to arrange some time to see each other.”

She added that having their families together at the games to watch them will be one of the most difficult aspects of being apart.

“We always just had a good group of people that came to the games supporting us, and I feel like it might be hard now for us to not get as many people coming to one or the other.”

Both players are living with roommates in their cities, which Cava feels will help them to receive a little extra support when they need it.

“I was originally looking to live alone, have my dog with me, and then one of my good friends from last year had a spot open up in her place, and she asked me to live with her. I thought it would be a good idea for me just mentally to have somebody around and kind of keep me online and just feeling good.”

“I’m living with one of my teammates. I hadn’t met her before this season but it’s been great so far,” said Greco.

”I think we are both in pretty good situations that way – that we have people supporting us and making it a little easier on us,” Cava added.

Still, the separation won’t be easy, and although hockey comes first, it will take some adjustment.

“Every second I can, I'll be trying to talk to her,” said Cava.

On the final day, the team once again dominated singles to complete the tournament.
