Yes, it's finally back! After a long delay, I've finally gotten around to continuing the countdown. So lets all celebrate with a cup of coffee and a slice of Battenburg cake (scratch that, make it TOAST!) in honor of lady number 5 on our countdown: Thursday Next!
Name: Thursday Next (NOT Thursday1-4 or Thursday5)
Featured in: The Thursday Next series, by Jasper Fforde. The series features the books The Eyre Affair, Lost in a Good Book, The Well of Lost Plots, Something Rotten, and First Among Sequels.
Special Skills: The big one - she can jump into books and navigate her way through the BookWorld. She uses her considerable strength, smarts, and instinct to face - and conquer - situations that few humans have ever even considered.
Why She Rocks: She. Kicks. Ass. Seriously. Let's look at the facts. Thursday is member of SpecOps, the organization that handles crimes that are too strange or too specialized for the normal police force to handle, and Jurisfiction, the police force within books. Both jobs require detective skills, street smarts, quick thinking, and lots of physical strength. I mean, think about it: you have to have your wits about you to beat the Hades family, outsmart a rogue member of the BookWorld, evade the grammasites, and get your husband uneradicated. In addition, Thursday never shrinks away from the chance to join Spike on his highly dangerous missions. Thursday does not back down from wrongdoers or dangerous situations. When the world (or the BookWorld) is in danger, Thursday is the one you want on your side.
