Bella Swan - Out of their League


"[Cassandra Clare] joins Harry Potter star J.K. Rowling, Twilight writer Stephanie Meyer and Hunger Games scribe Suzanne Collins in creating strong female characters for young girls to aspire to."

I'm sorry, did you just compare Clary (and Isabelle), Hermione and Katniss to Bella Swan?
Like seriously?
Do we really need to rehash this?
When Clary's boyfriend left her, she went to the ends of the earth to save him and get him back.
When Hermione's boyfriend left her, she kept on helping Harry save the world.
When Katniss' boyfriend went crazy and started to hate her, she did everything to bring him back to her.
When Bella's boyfriend left her, she went into some sort of freaky walking-coma thing and then jumped off a cliff.
That is not a strong female. I do not ever want to be like Bella Swan.
I want to be like Clary, who uses her art to save the world.
I want to be like Hermione, who uses her intelligence to save the world.
I want to be Katniss, who uses her bravery to save her world.
