To be honest, my mom. She got to where she is (director of a small government agency in my state) by a supernatural ability to put up with b******t and solve problems that logically should not exist.

Plus, she is completely capable of kicking my a*s, and has done so on many occasions (we do taekwondo and I have been kicked across the mats before) which is pretty badass in my opinion. Kids also absolutely LOVE her (she has the humor of a 13 yo boy so that might be why) so I'm fairly positive she could assemble an army of teens and tweens to take over the world.

She also manages to put up with my dad (ADHD and a very busy work schedule) and me (ADHD/anxiety with teenage hormones and stress) without murdering one of us, so that is probably enough to classify her as a saint.

Moral of the story: My mother is an absolute queen, and has tips for any of you young queer women/female oriented people out there because she played rugby and was on the crew team in college (she's straight though, but would be a very cool lesbian)

My mom, as well as my grandmas. Taught me to stand up for myself, to laugh at my mistakes, and to love no matter what.

And Eowyn from LoTR. Soft hearts can be warrior hearts too.
