Help me think of a happily single (female) fictional character?

[HuckingFellHire]

I can't think of one? 🤔

Diana Prince/ Wonder Woman - think she flirted with Steve, but don't think they got it together.
Patsy from Ab Fab - and Purdey(?)
Xena - warrior

Merida 🏹

Dana Sculley - x files
Shuri and some of the other Wakandan women
Catwoman

Emma Woodhouse.

Dr Who?.

I like this. Barbie is a boss bitch

In Ballet Shoes the two retired professors, although I suspect they are not actually single.

By the end of GOT Sansa and Arya both seem quite happy with their lot.

Astrid and Raphaelle in Astrid, Murder in Paris.

Christine Cagney.

Peggy from Hi de Hi!

Merida in Brave

Black Widow? Movie version of the Marvel character. Despite the name, but story is she & her sister don't need men, don't seek them.

Cat Woman in Batman series? She has occasional lovers but they are just playthings.

Morgana & Morgause in Merlin.

Miss Fisher (of the murder mysteries)

Ariadne Oliver from poirot books. Also a successful author and clearly based on Christie herself.

Sam from Sex And The City

Florence nightingale. Florence turned down several marriage proposals.

Once Florence decided what her calling in life was to be, she set out to secure an independent life for herself. Marriage was out of the question.

Miss Honey in Matilda

The TV film implied they were a couple, but there is absolutely no implication of this in the book. Thinking about it, Noel Streatfeild has absolutely tonnes of happily single characters, male and female. Pretty much every adult who is not a parent is single.

I haven't seen the film, it had Emma Watson in it, I'm not a fan.

Bertie Wooster's aunts (well, Dahlia and Agatha anyway) have husbands.

Betsey Trotwood is technically not single, and her single status is very much determined by her past trauma with a man. But she does totally rock it.

Kinsey Millhone. She has affairs but she values her space and independence.

Vianne Rocher (Chocolat)
Hana (The English Patient)

Both played by Juliette Binoche.

I've read those books so many times and never picked up on that.
Can you remember where that's said?
Not meaning to sound challenging, just interested. I can see her husband might easily have been killed in the Voldemort years.

Came on to say Miss Read but someone beat me to it - she is my alter ego. Rita in Educating Rita - married at the beginning but happier single. Mary Bennett . Scarlett O'Hara.

So many who should have remained unmarried - Dorothea Brooke being the most obvious example.

What I really like about Miss Read is that she’s not single because she never met the right man - she’s single because she’s made an active choice to be, despite social pressure.

Wonder woman???
Captain Marvel??
