LOL I started with one and I have worked my way up to five. I think my females are stronger, probably because I am one. But I think my males are solid. Katherin was my first. Have you heard of the Game of Thrones?

If you get a chance you should. I have read all but his last book. It's on my list.
I would love to read his work but Georgie is an awful tease. I'm a rather fast reader and he gets me so curious that I had to consciously hold myself back from indulging in Game of Thrones. The same seems to be the case with Sanderson and Rothfuss. They are all lovely but reading their work I am filled with both awe and envy.
On another note, Till now I have penned about 80 characters. I love writing female characters because of the scope they provide but in situations where I try to play a passive character I go with Males. I frankly, don't know which ones of mine are better. The jury is split down the middle on that one. A few of my buds like my female characters, the others think the males are more convincing.
