Carbon Costume Women
Alex Owens
In Flashdance, Alex Owens (Jennifer Beals) is a steel welder by day and an exotic dancer by night, who aspires to become a professional dancer. Her outfit is easy enough to copy with a pair of scissors and an oversized sweatshirt but her dance moves will take a bit more effort to duplicate.
Marge Gunderson
In Fargo, Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) is the local police chief in sleepy Brainerd, Minnesota. Seven months pregnant, she finds herself investigating a murder case involving a car salesman who’s acting suspicious, you betcha.
Seven of Nine
In Star Trek: Voyager, Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) serves on the USS Voyager. Born Annika Hansen, she was assimilated by the Borg at age 6, but the Doctor is able to remove most of her cybernetic implants and restore her humanity.
Black Canary
The Black Canary’s fighting skills must be impressive if she’s able to defeat criminals in fishnet stockings. Having a Sonic Scream probably helps. Real name Dinah Drake, she’s also known for being a part of the Justice League and for being romantically involved with the Green Arrow.
Leeloo
In the Fifth Element, Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) is a Supreme Being who becomes The Fifth Element. She escapes from the lab where she is reconstructed and falls (literally) into Korben Dallas’ life. Together they must retrieve the four elemental stones in order to stop the Great Evil from destroying Earth.
Dora the Explorer
Dora the Explorer is a girl who goes on adventures with her talking purple backpack and anthropomorphic monkey named Boots. Sounds like quite the trip.
Paula Polestar
In Earthbound (released as Mother in Japan), Paula Polestar is the first character to join Ness. She also has psychic abilities and her weapon of choice are frying pans.
