How many of those are 'qualities' though? I also think that
if indeed viewed as strengths, many of those attributes have actually turned out to be negatives or
weaknesses for this character. I mean is 'picking pockets' really a strength? Perhaps for a thief, but then what does that say about Kate?

And D-Roc, I beg to differ but Imo Juliet, Charlotte and Sun are all very strong women. Oh and how could I forget Rousseau!

Juliet maybe - although it all depends on 'which' Juliet were talking about. As for Charlotte I think it's WAY too early to tell whether or not she is a strong female character. Yes, she's got something about her, but at the same time we hardly know her. Sun, imo, is far from being a strong woman - what is strong about her? She's a liar, a manipulator and a bare faced cheat - hardly qualities aligned with 'strength'. She grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth, and whilst I'm not knocking that, I do think that she has had everything given to her on a plate - and the moment she came across some problems in her relationship, she attempted to do a runner on Jin
I think Ana-Lu was the last strong female character that we had - perhaps Naomi also (although again, we hardly knew her tbh).
I guess we just have differing perspectives on what makes a strong female character - nothing wrong with that, opinions make the world go round
