In our last post we talked about Lesbian and Bi Superheroines. Now we should take one look at Lesbian and Bi Anti-Heroines and SuperVillains too.
An anti-heroine ( or dark heroine ) a female central character in a story, film, or drama who lacks conventional heroic attributes. An anti-heroine does the right thing, but maybe not for the right reasons. For instance, they might save someone from a dangerous situation because it furthers their interests, not because they actually care about helping others.
