Let’s just take a second to appreciate the three main ladies of Star Wars. They were not stereotyped as stoic, unemotional, action girls. They were not stereotyped as the most emotional, sweetest, and softest member of the group, because they definitely weren’t compared to the guys around them.

Padme Amidala, the young girl who saw a child who needed comfort and covered him with a blanket was the same Padme Amidala who announced she wasn’t afraid to die, who was not afraid to take action. Padme Amidala, who believed in the good of people was the same Padme who strode away from assassination attempts and confronted the Senate.

Leia Organa, the teenage girl who stood toe to toe with Governor Tarkin and practically spit in Darth Vader’s face was the same person who was so patient with a jittery ewok and so kind towards Luke. The woman who decided to take charge and save her own skin, who could have a glare so dark and make her words so scathing, directed her focus on a better future, on hope for people. Leia Organa, who loved and hated so fiercely.

Rey, the lone scavenger, who learned to deal with harshness and could take down thugs faster than you could blink an eye, was so in awe of greenery. Rey, who so desperately needed food, who knew the rules of survival better than anyone, refused to sell BB-8. Rey, who could be gentle and kind could also be outspoken and tough and so much more powerful than anyone imagined.

They all have more than one kind of strength. They are both hard and soft and they cannot be defined by just one trait, because they’re so much more than that.
