ID: Digitally colorized pencil drawing of five woman in a lineup beside each other. 1. Ezuazuacat Ninteen Adze (Teixcalaan Series): A tall middle aged Latina with an angular face and crooked nose, wearing a white and rose cape over her white clothes. She stands alert and slightly turned to the side. 2. L'Rell (Star Trek Discovery): A tall, bald, ridgy alien (Klingon) woman with an angular face, wearing armor consisting of many overlaid, narrow plates. She has a wide stance and her arms slightly raised. 3. Dr. Cable (Uglies Series): Tall, middle aged black woman with unnatural grey eyes, angular face and long, straight hair, wearing a white, futuristic dress. She is standing with her feet far apart too, but has her hands behind her back and glares right at the viewer. 4. Delenn (Babylon 5): Petite, sharp faced alien woman with a bone crest through her shoulder length brown hair, wearing long, elegant robes. Average height. She has her hands raised as if praying. 5. Shadow Weaver (She-Ra): Tall, petite woman with pointy ears and long, dark hair, hiding her face behind a mask and the rest of her body behind a floor length red robe. She has one hand proped against her hip.
Probably my favorite sci-fi woman archetype:
Sharp faced, intimidating master manipulators willing to protect their community and values by all means, including not exactly morally sound ones
