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."

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
