fierce girls are going places;

I have decided to create myself an "inspiration board" of sorts.. but without the board itself for the time being. I am dissatisfied with the person I am acting like lately, and the way I have been responding to the challenges life's been throwing at me.
I admire a lot of people, the majority of whom are amazing, powerful, fierce as hell women who I would love to be more like. Below, I am going to list each person ...or character... and then some qualities that I see in them that I would like to cultivate in myself. :)
