| This is my favourite picture. Ever. |
You probably think I'm nuts for choosing Betty as a 'kick-ass female' but honestly, have you watched Ugly Betty?! I mean she is anything but fearless and not to mention an amazing example to all females. The predominate idea behind her character is that she is "ugly" unattractive, aesthetically unpleasing but within a couple of minutes one can clearly see her true beauty.
To me the show displays the basic idea that looks are not everything, they may cause you to suffer in certain dilemmas, but at the end of the day where there's a will there's a way (wow, didn't even know I was this deep).
The show definitely portrays Betty in situations where her looks are mocked, such as within the first episode where she is humiliated by being asked to wear a leather - spandex- fishnet outfit clearly ment for a standard model (I mean honestly, very few people can pull of leather spandex and fish nets. Scratch that, pretty much no one can).

But what makes her "kick-ass"? For one she puts up with all the shit from characters like Mark, Amanda, Wilhelmena (and just generally most of the staff at Mode). Actually, she does more than put up with their shit, she owns it and always proves them wrong.
She also always has her family at heart. They are her number one priority and to me that is so admirable. With simple things as making her nephew Justin feel comfortable in his own skin to saving her father from being deported she is truly just 100% a kick-ass female.

So now you know why I freaking love Ugly Betty. NO. Beautiful Betty. Mhmmmm.
Ciao!
