Welcome to Day Seven of the
Addicted to Heroines Blog Tour.
Today our group of authors is delighted to share with
you a guest post by Cecelia Robert, who talks about what makes a strong heroine,
and maybe even real people, do what they do.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In answer to the question Cecilia writes:
What makes up a strong heroine in a story?
Is it the way she fights? The fact that she doesn’t cry when something happens?
Should she show too much emotion or not? A character that can fight and side
step bullets hurled her way like no one’s business?
Whether it is contemporary, Dystopian,
Fantasy, Paranormal, Sci-fi, everyone has their own views on what makes up a
good or kick-ass heroine. Personally I think a
strong heroine is someone
who is not afraid to show their true self, isn't selfish and is willing to go
lengths to protect the ones she loves, protect the poor and not for personal
gains. If she is blessed with the ability to dodge bullets, that’s ok. I also
think she should be emotionally strong to handle the hardships thrown her way.
What do you think makes up a strong
heroine?

Thank you for honouring us with a guest post,

I think a strong heroine commands page time. In other words, the story cannot be told without her. And that makes for a strong story.
