I was gonna put Jo but then even though I loved her I didn't really *fangirl* her, and the list was long already!
Not laughing at Maid Marion, though I've never seen that Robin Hood. I love her from Lady of the Forest by Jennifer Roberson. It's a really good retelling of the story. There's also one by Robin McKinley (who wrote The Blue Sword, where Harimad-sol on this list is from, and Deerskin, the girl from this icon I always use is from), called "Outlaws of Sherwood", in which Marian is the real hero, but she's pretending she's Robin. There's a bunch of nice cross-dressing in that one.
Never seen Fried Green Tomatoes.
I'm not sure about Morgaine. She was totally my hero and I tried to be like her and I read MoA when I was quite young so she's one of my earliest heroes. But I honestly do believe Morgaine is one of the reasons I can't cry these days. I haven't gone back and tried to reread MoA, but I do fear I will really dislike it now, as you say.
