Lady Sybil Vimes (née Ramkin) Duchess of Ankh

If you don’t think Lady Sybil is absolutely wonderful and perfect then I don’t even know what to say to you

• Lady Sybil who breeds swamp dragons in her spare time
• Lady Sybil who once faced down a dragon the size of a street by scolding it firmly
• Lady Sybil who sang part of a dwarf opera from memory in order to diffuse a sticky political situation
• Lady Sybil who, when kidnapped by werewolves, escaped out of the window and belted one of them around the head with a log…while pregnant
• Lady Sybil who darns her husbands socks personally, despite the fact that she is rich enough to buy a new pair every day for the rest of their lives if need be
• Lady Sybil, founder of The Sunshine Sanctuary for Sick Dragons AND The Lady Sybil Free Hospital, one of the few hospitals where people actually come out alive
• Lady Sybil who has friends and connections around the world and is on a first name basis with Lord Vetinari
• Lady Sybil who is one of the kindest, most compassionate, most open-minded characters in the Discworld series, who is endlessly patient and reasonable, who shows tremendous courage in the face of danger, who treats everyone she meets as a equal despite her privileged upbringing and who never compromises her principles or deserts those in need
• Lady Sybil ❤

enigmaticagentalice’s tags: she’s such an unusual character in fiction she’s not some badass sword wielding warrior chick or some plucky adventurous girl or a sexy manipulative ice queen but she’s genuinely one of the strongest female characters I know and I will not hear a word against her

Seconded, thirded, and fourthed
