1. The first badass character that comes to mind for me is Rose Hathaway from the Vampire Academy series. Rose is a dhampir, a half vampire warrior tasked with the job of protecting her best friend, the Dragomir princess. Rose is a sassy, butt kicking force to be reckoned with...and stragoi had better watch out. There are two things in life Rose Hathaway excels at - breaking rules and kicking butt.
2. The second badass character that comes to mind is Celaena Sardothien from the Throne of Glass Series. Celaena is an assassin, but not just any assassin, she is the assassin of Adarlan. But unlike many badass characters Celaena also appreciates the finer things in life. She is passionate about books, music, dance and owning some pretty extravagant gowns. Because who said you can't look amazing and still be deadly. She also holds some pretty powerful secrets.
3. Tessa Grey from the Infernal Devices, is not a badass is the same way that Celaena and Rose are. Rather than weilding a sword or other sharp and pointy objects; Tessa uses her intelligence and her determination to help and do the right thing. Tessa is fiercely passionate and loyal to those she cares about. Tessa uses the skills she has and doesn't back down.
4. Number four goes to the brothers of The Black Dagger Brotherhood. These guys are tough, take no shit and no matter how many times these vampire warrior's (I'm detecting a bit of a theme in my choices) get beaten down, they get back up and keep fighting. Yet despite all their strength they love each other strongly and don't fight for themselves but for others. These brother may terrify most who cross their paths but they are also capable of great feats of kindness and sacrifice.
5. Annja Creed is an archaeologist in the Rogue Angel Series by Alex Archer. Annja however, is not your everyday scholar...she is the reincarnate of Joan of Arc and wields Joan's magical fixed sword....which she can pull of out of thin air as the need arises. Annja travels the world as a part of her job and along the way helps to right wrongs and over come the greed of others. Annja is both a skilled fighter and highly intelligent. Their is nothing she can't accomplish once she has set her mind to it.
