slightly mean FL's

FL's that I liked bc they were considered mean, unapologetic, overconfident, annoying, unlikeable, badass, strong, scary...etc

basically FL's that are lovable despite not being absolute cutie patooties or fitting into the traditional soft female character archetype

[Note: these are mainly Romance FL's]
