11 Iconic Fictional Women
Gabriel Alfonso

From cartoon princesses to the stars of your favorite dramas, here are eleven fictional women and their most iconic quotes.

1. Blair Waldorf (Gossip Girl)

Blair is the queen of the Upper East Side. She's a dramatic, controlling perfectionist who stops at nothing to get what she wants. No matter how much scheming she does, you can't help but admire her.

Quote: "Once men have tasted caviar, it baffles me how they settle for catfish."

2. Cinderella (Cinderella)

When I was little I watched Cinderella every day, sometimes twice a day. She is truly the embodiment of kindness and forgiveness.

Quote: "Have Courage, and Be Kind."

3. Alex Russo (Wizards of Waverly Place)


Although she may not be the best in school, she has street smarts and is able to manipulate people to her advantage. She also has a great sense of humor.

Quote: "They teach you that the truth is good, and then when you say the truth, everybody gets offended."

4. Braeden (Teen Wolf)

She has an extremely dangerous job, and she totally kicks butt at it.

Quote: "I won. When you're a human facing off against the supernatural, you need to bend the rules a little bit."

5. Cristina Yang (Grey's Anatomy)

Cristina is passionate about her work and is without a doubt one of the most hard working women. She definitely knows how to give good advice when necessary.

Quote: "Don't let what he wants eclipse what you need. He's very dreamy, but he's not the sun, you are."

6. Marie Laveau (American Horror Story)


She is the queen of Voodoo and lives up to the title. No one dares to cross her, and she shows no mercy to those who do.

Quote: "You could offer me a unicorn that shit hundred dollar bills and I'd still never give you nothing more than a headache."

7. Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)


Intelligent, studious, and always has a plan of action. She's someone that you could always count on no matter what.

Quote: “I mean, you could claim that anything's real if the only basis for believing in it is that nobody's proved it doesn't exist!”

8. Elle Woods (Legally Blonde)

So iconic. Broke down so many stereotypes about sorority women and worked hard for what she wanted.

Quote: "I don't need backups, I'm going to Harvard."

9. Belle (Beauty and the Beast)

She doesn't conform to anyone's standards and is always dreaming. Loving and nonjudgmental.

Quote: "I want adventure in the great wide somewhere."

10. Cookie Lyon (Empire)

Brutally honest and willing to do whatever it takes for things to go her way. She always puts her family first.

Quote: "The streets ain't made for everybody. That's why they made sidewalks."

11. Emily Thorne (Revenge)


Genius when it comes to scheming and takedowns. She's beautiful and well-spoken, so none of her targets ever suspected it was her that ruined their lives.

Quote: "True loyalty takes years to build, and only seconds to destroy."

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
