“Everywhere I look, I see the repulsive sight of hundreds, thousands of revolting little children”,
25 February 2015 
Yesterday for Top Ten Tuesday I picked my top ten favourite females of fiction – today I thought I’d match that with 10 super baddies!
- Cersei Lannister, Game of Thrones, GRR Martin- speaks for itself really! Nasty, two faced, incestuous – you name it!
- The White Witch, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis- well, I don’t suppose all witches are bad but the White Witch can be a bit impulsive with that old turning people into stone thing – plus she has a vicious pack of wolves and she’s trying to keep Narnia frozen in eternal winter.
- Cruella DeVi, 101 Dalmatians by Dodie Smith – come on, she wants to kill ALL the puppies to make a coat. And her name is Cruel Devil!
- Kamala, Feast of Souls by Celia Friedman – This is an unusual one, Kamala is very ambitious, can’t blame her there – but her magic does have dire consequences for whatever poor soul she is using to obtain that magical spark!
- Queen Kate from the Rebel Angel Series by Gillian Philip – she would separate the veil between mundanes and the fae – and it probably wouldn’t go well for us everyday regular people.
- The Witch of the Waste from Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones – turned poor Sophie into an old woman – because she was jealous of her magic!
- Chella from The Broken Empire series by Mark Lawrence – evil to the core, a Necormancer who basically works for the Dead King!
- Catarina, Miserere by Teresa Frohock – intends to leaves the hordes straight out of hell – nasty, mean and horrible to be sure!
- Ash Orchard from The Damned by Andrew Pyper – the evil twin sister from hell! (Literally!)
- Bellatrix Lestrange – don’t make me tell you who she is! (okay, a clue below)
Books and travelling with Lynn 
I really liked the quote on the title.
Love Bellatrix!! Great choice.
I must admit that after I’d posted I worried about that title – like whether people would get the reference or just think I’m some sort of child hater!!!
Lynn 😀
Glad to see Cersei topping this list 😀
She’s a bud ‘un!
Lynn 😀
The White Witch – I really hate it when a witch turns someone into stone, really irritating!
The Witch of the Waste – Is she anything like the character in the anime adaptation of Howl’s Moving Castle?
Yeah, being turned into stone can be a real nuisance! The Witch of the Waste – yeah, Howl’s Moving Castle – why, have I called her the wrong name (wouldn’t surprise me if I did!).
Lynn 😀
Great list! The Witch of the Waste- yessss! Ooh I’ve also had The Damned to read since it came out but it’s fallen down my tbr pile. Any good?
It’s really quite creepy – well, the first half is very creepy and atmospheric (gave me chills) and the second half moves more into horror as we explore down below!! I thought it was a very good read.
Lynn 😀
sounds like a winner to me!
I love this idea! Cersei is my most despised character in Game of Thrones. Every time I read her POV, I’m sitting there like: “WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?”. And Bellatrix Lestrange! She just creeps me out…
Such a great list! 🙂
Exactly – what is wrong with her? No, really!
Bella Lestrange is just wonderfully creepy! A great character really and Helena BC plays the role so well.
Lynn 😀
I agree! She is an incredible actress… 😀
😀
Great choices. Cersei Lannister is definitely a character you love to hate! Also pleased to see The White Witch and Bellatrix Lestrange on your list.
Cersei Lannister is definitely universally hated – she’s just so ‘eugh’ horrible!
Bellatrix Lestrange is one of those characters that you love to hate – she’s a wonderful baddie.
Lynn 😀
The White Witch and Bellatrix are definitely evil, as is Cruella. Don’t know the others.
Cruella is awful isn’t she!!
Lynn 😀
I love Bellatrix too–loved, not hated. I sometimes wish to dream of a different story for her.
Same goes for Cersei… only that I do hate her.
Bellatrix is a great character – on of those characters that even though she’s bad she’s just great to read about or watch.
Lynn 😀
Great choices 🙂
Thanks 😀
haha I love the idea of picking ten female baddies! There really need to be more girl villains. Oh I hate Cersei! I like the sound of the evil necromancer. Bellatrix so needs to be on the list! I’d like to add thee Lady from the Black Company.
Yay, girl villains rule. Cersei is really the worst though. Not read the Black Company – I will do one day though.
Lynn 😀
