Power
First off
she is one of the only females in a male-dominated environment, but she doesn’t
let that phase her for even a second. She is very sure of herself and her
capabilities and is uber professional. That’s not to say she sees herself as
better than her male counterparts. No way. She sees herself as their equal. As
she says to Ichabod in the very first episode “Do you see this gun? I'm
authorized to use it. On you”. She is fierce, doesn’t take shit from no-one and
can probably out-snark anyone she interacts with.
Vulnerable
But just because
she’s strong that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have vulnerabilities. But what I
love most is that she doesn’t try to hide it. She doesn’t wear a stoic mask to
hide what she feels. She feels love, affection, sadness, sympathy…. And the
list goes on. But not once does she try to hide it and present herself as
something she’s not. She is refreshingly genuine in a world full of
pretensions.
Brave
Okay so it
kinda come with the job description, but seriously can we just talk about the
fact that she walks into all kinds of dangerous situation without blinking an
eye? Crazy, possessed gunman? No problem; Suicidal psychologist? Where she at?;
crazy fire shooting witch? Come at me. Seriously. So brave. If it were me I’d
be peeing in my pants. But I suppose it’s not hard to be brave with a tall,
dark, British guy by your side. Just kidding. We all know she only needs him
for one thing only. You feel me?
Considerate
Ichabod is
not a man who wants to appear weak, or showcase his uncertainties. Even when he’s
walking around in a completely unfamiliar time period. But luckily for him Abbie
picks up on this and just looks out for him without bringing it up in
conversation. Like when she leaves post it notes in his motel room so he’ll
know how to use the appliances. And then she brings him baked goods as well.
She’s just so perfect.
And that is
why this female is super-duper kick-ass. Srsly Ichabod… If you don’t want her I’ll
gladly take her off your hands. We’d be best friends foreva.
