30 Days of Female Characters Meme: Day One

I started this last December (has it really been that long?) and never finished, so let's try again. Some answers might be the same, some might be different.

Day One: Favorite lead female character

Olivia Dunham
I love this woman so much! She's just so strong and fierce, but in a sort of quiet way. She can kick your butt and have awesome escape scenes, but there's also a warmth and gentleness to her, especially when she's with children. She's determined and cares deeply for the people she loves, as shown in the pilot where she worked extremely hard to find a cure for the man she cared for deeply. Olivia doesn't laugh or smile as much as the Olivia in the other universe, but when she does it's amazing and her whole face lights up.

Another thing I love about her is the fact that she's a protector. Olivia had a very hard childhood, but she tried to protect her sister from that as much as she could, and she used the anger and fear she felt as a child to become an FBI agent to help others. Anna Torv does an amazing job playing her, too.
