Might I recommend the Percy Jackson series? The female character that is Percy's friend is very strong and independent while still feminine. Hermione in the Harry Potter series is also a good one.<br /><br />I also suggest giving this blog a check:<br />http://hipwritermama.blogspot.com/2007/01/cool-strong-girl-role-models-in.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794234788671574617.post-78860022728967504562010-03-16T01:34:40.486-05:002010-03-16T01:34:40.486-05:00Thanks for stopping by my site...

Luckily, she is a nice kid ( most of the time) and has a sense of self that lets her dress and wear her hair in her own style no matter what the current trend.<br />She's the only non-adult girl, but she's growing up fast. My only wish is that she use her powers for good, not evil!~dawnhttp://dawneing.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794234788671574617.post-23294573831917973922010-03-16T01:14:10.458-05:002010-03-16T01:14:10.458-05:00Over from Sits..Glad you don't want your daugh...Over from Sits..Glad you don't want your daughter to be like Bella - me neither! And the hugest compliment any mom could ever get is being her daughter's positive role model.

Knowing you, I have no doubt that Claudia will grow up to be a little spitfire who knows what she wants and is loved by all for her humor and compassion. And I agree that while Twilight made for good reading, Bella is the antithesis of what I want for my daughter.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00604713846429464708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794234788671574617.post-71663207864702605202010-03-14T21:56:47.935-05:002010-03-14T21:56:47.935-05:00It's so cool that you thought of literary char...It's so cool that you thought of literary characters and others for her to be like.

Help her keep that 2-year-old's amazing gift for asking "why?" into her adulthood, and I'm willing to bet she'll be writing a similar blog for her daughter and listing you as her role model :)Lauren Snoreply@blogger.com
