THE CHAMPIONSHIP!

All right, y'all, this is the big finish. Please take a moment to reflect on this solemn occasion. Over a hundred kick-ass women are dead, and only two remain. In one corner we have newcomer October "Toby" Daye (half fairy, half detective, all awesome) and in the other corner is the veteran Granny Weatherwax (a literal resident of Bad Ass). Only one can be the winner.

Remember, this is a fight to the death. Please vote for who you think is most likely to win--and use the above links if you are at all confused about each of our competitors' strengths and weaknesses!

Granny defeated the Queen of faeries. Toby is only half fae. QED, Granny wins.

I'm less knowledgeable about Granny Weatherwax, though I did read up on her fighting chops. They're impressive, but I think this is a fair fight. I think Toby's shown that she can push back against compulsions, so even if Granny did manage to "borrow" her mind, I'm not convinced Toby wouldn't manage to cut her anyways.

And who's to say that being half-Fae makes you more vulnerable to someone who's capable of defeating a pureblood?

Sorry Seanan, Toby's pretty kick-ass but Granny Weatherwax would beat her with headology.

Toby is too thick headed for headology.

Toby to win!

Granny Weatherwax would win. Not through force or through magic, but through headology, which means she knows how to get people to beat themselves...

All though I'm not sure she could be having with this sort of thing!

Granny, no contest - Toby just doesn't have the experience. But she'd respect Toby for trying and make sure she learned something from it so someday when Granny's gone, someone will still be around with the chops to take on the real bad guys.

(Toby, Tiffany, whatever.)

Granny! A witch who's so powerful that she normally doesn't even need to use magic. She frequently makes people back down with nothing more than the look in her eyes (though she might actually have to blink once or twice in this fight, she'd still come out ahead, while respecting the opponent properly).

Granny. She's actually got Death to back down on at least one occasion and managed to out-vamp a vampyre clan.

I am one of Toby's strongest supporters (and would never vote for her to get her ass kicked by anyone that was from Harry freakin' Potter, lol) but I kind of think Granny's invincible. Sorry, Seanan.

Granny Weatherwax is wise beyond words.

All she would do is hand Toby some fresh black coffee and tell her to be on her way. Which Toby would accept and do.

Granny wins with her usual minimum of effort. She knows there's no need to actually FIGHT.

If by some miracle Toby did beat Granny, she would spend the rest of her life fretting over why Granny let her and therein would be Esme's victory.
