Two “manly” women. Or so some would have you believe. 

I’ve seen the adjective flung at these characters countless times. It’s a pejorative. It tends to equate with ugly, unattractive, undesirable. Someone not at all feminine. Someone not a model. Someone not in sync with some conventions of what it means to be gorgeous - and thus viable, and valued.

At least, that’s what I hear. Not to the extreme perhaps, but rather, that footstep on the threshold, the waggling of toes in that doorway. Classifying someone as manly is all too often a negative, and thus is already saying, in not so many ways, that she is somehow less.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And there is beauty that exists on the surface, and beauty that exists within. The two are not mutually exclusive, but can be. And yet it seems that for some, the surface carries much more worth.

But, a sturdy jawline is not the hallmark of that-which-is-male. A stern gaze and a firm handshake are not unique to men. The desire to wear armor, or pants, or something comfortable - the desire to lift a sword, to fight for a cause, to protect and secure - is not something found solely in the hearts of the male population. All of those things are *human* traits. They are only socially classified, with deeply etched lines, as belonging to one gender over the other.

When I look at Aveline and Cassandra, I see two women dedicated to their cause. Two women who wear the armor of their position with pride and with honor - it is a right earned through grit and determination, through blood and tears. I see women who have strength, not just in body, but in heart and resolve. I see glorious and beautiful people.

Sometimes the best gifts come in fancy wrapping. Sometimes they come already unwrapped.

I’m not a big fan of the character, but after spotting this guy, Hunter Jackson briefly on Grimm I totally want to see him as Anders. 

Yeah, I couldn’t get his nose right and I failed at some other things. But I hope you get the idea.
