Awww man, I'm a little shy to give away who I submitted, and seeing this list I have even less hope that my submissions will get through. But I must be bold. This time.

Paige Sinclair & Maximillian Banks (BoJack Horseman)

They're investigative reporters who are doing a whole lot of detecting! (And do a pretty good job too)

Also they have old-timey vibes and speak fast and Paige keeps talking about quitting reporting after getting married but runs around everywhere in a wedding dress.

The Mystery Girls: Shauna Wickle, Charlotte Grote, and Mildred Haversham (Bad Machinery, John Allison)

They're sharp and snarky and can figure out the local supernatural forces plaguing their West Yorkshire city (yes, they're Brits) but struggle with friendships and family and bullies.

The series has mostly ended, tho' Lottie (and Mildred) show up from time to time on their now college-aged adventures - I miss the trio!

Above, from left to right:

Lottie "Mystery is my boyfriend" Grote.

Shauna "I wrecked these eyes reading" Wickle.

Mildred "The product of an extremely liberal upbringing" Haversham.

I am loving how much of a badass Shauna has become!

Also unless told otherwise I am certain she is gay.

[unlikely-course]

And in all this Shauna Wickle is somewhere out there possibly having a gender moment?? Mildred was very cavalier about it I have no idea what JA was going for
