Welcome to my Bad Girl Blogfest!

The Bad Girl Blogfest

Okay. Maybe I’ve gone a little bit Bad Girl Crazy. After all, I’ve had a month to prepare. I present to you six of my baddest Bad Girls, ranging from one I created during the Summer of 1985 to one I created for last year’s NaNoWriMo in the order I created them. Don’t feel you have to read them all. For your convenience, I’ve created a summary of each one, so if one character is of particular interest, go ahead and check out her entry. But if you only have time for one, scroll down to the bottom and check out Viola from my current WIP Steam Palace. I will give special recognition to anyone who reads and comments on all six next week on this blog.

BTW, the girl on the left of the banner is Cassandra “Cassie” Hack from the Hack/Slash graphic novels, and the middle is Callisto from Xena: Warrior Princess. They are both very bad girls. Trust me.

I hope everyone had fun creating their entries for this Blogfest, and I’ll be checking out each and every one of them. Now here come the Bad Girls!

Various rankings of these women, which is probably only of interest to me.

Now if I had to rank these from Baddest Bad Girl to not-so-baddest, it would be:

1. The Sky Goddess – She’s a genocidal maniac with god-like powers.
2. Carrie Park – No morals, and the financial means to carry out her evil plans
3. Alexandra Toykalelova – She has the power to bend men to her every whim
4. Viola Willamante – She doesn’t care who she hurts, but she longs for a normal life.
5. Elena Galistina – She wants to correct the mistakes of her past and start fresh.
6. Wild Mary – She has a strong moral code.

Now who is the most skilled?

1. Wild Mary – She’s been trained in martial arts since birth.
2. Elena Galistina – She’s a trained assassin. But not since birth.
3. The Sky Goddess – No training, just massive power.
4. Alexandra Toykalelova – Just basic training.
5. Viola Willamante – What she lacks in skill she makes up for with pure cat-like aggression.
6. Carrie Park – She couldn’t fight her way out of a paper bag. But she could hack up a remote air-strike on your house.

Who is the prettiest?

1. Alexandra Toykalelova – She’s been billed as “The Most Beautiful Woman in the History of Mankind”
2. The Sky Goddess – She has the power to change her own appearance.
3. Elena Galistina – Exotic looks coupled with a fit body.
4. Viola Willamante – The Queen of makeup and corsets.
5. Wild Mary – She wants to look masculine but she can’t hide her assets forever.
6. Carrie Park – No amount of cosmetic surgery can fix her ugliness.
