Tara, Tibetan goddess of protection.


She was offered a male life, but refused it.

Now that is something admirable, understanding the way Sino people from inner Asia treat their women.

Nineveh from the Merlin legends she was thoughtful, learned, and loved by Merlin or Myrddinn to give him his correct old British name, and he loved her for who she was and not what she looked like.

When I was a teenager I wanted to be Eowyn. Not only because she was reasonably good at pretending to be a man; yet managed to destroy the enemy and avenge her uncle as a woman ... well, maybe that was about it.

For a while I identified with Captain Signy Mallory of Downbelow Station, but then I actually read the book and decided that she wasn't it.

Now I just work on being me.
