A world in need of wicked girls.

So—for a variety of reasons—I've had the song "Wicked Girls Saving Ourselves" stuck in my head for roughly a week now. This has started to drive me insane. Consequentially, I spent a good chunk of yesterday composing new verses, just so I'd be singing something different. I found this so entertaining that I've decided to make it a party game (yes, this is now officially a party). Give me a girl from folklore, myth, literature, or hell, modern media, and if I have a clue of who she is, I'll write a verse.

A few rules:

1. Fictional people only. Real people go in the bridge, and I already re-write that every time we do the song live.
2. One girl per customer.
3. Jean Grey is not eligible.
4. Don't make me come over there.

Game on!...and now, game off. I already have more than I can handle, and I can't handle no more. Thanks for all the great suggestions, and please don't provide any additional girls for consideration in today's admissions.

Alisin/Ally. Your choice which.
Poor little rich girl who starved for a little attention,
Trying so hard to be more than her parent's invention,
So Alisin made herself over to be
The sort of a girl who could claim to be free,
Though she knew she was dying, she said that she'd live in the now...
Now they say that she's going to live, but she's not certain how.
You're amazing.
How about Mary Russell from the Beekeeper's Apprentice series -- she's certainly able to save herself.

I never read these, I'm afraid.

I enjoyed the first book, and then found the Amazon description of either the 2nd or 3rd book in which who she marries is revealed to be entirely irritating in a "let's turn her back into a cliche rather than having her save herself" sort of way that it pissed me off.

Faith?
Faith had no faith in the world, and the world hadn't earned it.
They say that she's cynical, well, how'd you think that she learned it?
"There can be only one" and it should have been her,
But it's clear that the golden girl's who they prefer,
So she turned to the dark—what's a wicked stepsister to do?
Faith had no faith in their stories; they never came true.
No idea if you've read the books but, Sabriel or Lirael from the Abhorsen Trilogy?
Sadly, I haven't read them.
Ah well, worth a shot ^^
Donna Noble. She's only wicked in the "snarky and mischievous" sense, but she's definitely self-saving, in the end.
Unfortunately, as noted on the original post, I am no longer taking suggestions, due to being eight feet underwater.
Gah, apologies, I'd left the tab open for a while thinking. Feel better, dear!
It's okay! I just got a way bigger response than I'd expected.
Hee, I can imagine. It's an awesome song by an awesome writer - who WOULDN'T want to see their favourite heroine to be written?
i'm surprised i didnt see these... but what about Helena (from A Midsummer's Nights Dream... i think)

or... um... Helen of troy? i thought of her first, but then helena came into my mind.

i know, two, but pick ur favorite. ^_^

River Tam, if no one's gotten her already.

Good lord, this is what I get for not drinking all my tea after my afternoon nap.
She has actually been done!
Thank you for Casimira! I was thinking of her or November.
Cheers!

Very welcome!
Drat, I missed the opportunity to suggest something.
Coyote knows, I got a sufficiency of suggestions.
