Jo March - Little Women - Greyrose

Not to sound like your standard white girl, but when I read Little Women, I connected a lot with Jo and related to her quite a bit in regards to her dreams and independence.

It was more than just that, though. And I know there's the lesbian vs aroace debate with her just like there is with Barbie. However, I see her more as greyrose.

I'm probably going to do a terrible job explaining this, but when I read the story, I actually really like her relationship with The Professor. She doesn't seem to experience rose feelings often but they finally aligned with Fritz. A once in a lifetime chance and they made it work out.

This story gave me a lot of hope. At the time I read it, I was wondering if I was greyromantic as well as ace. Jo's story and the fact that she ended comfortable and happy on her own terms, which just so happened to also include Fritz, brought me comfort. It helped me know that, no matter what, so long as I do my best to do what makes me happy, it'll all turn out. It also gave me hope in someday being able to find someone who accepts that my asexuality makes me approach relationships differently and we'll be able to make it work, too.
