[huajiro]

I really dont want this post going off and being lost at the bottom. I really want to know about more heroes.....please help me with this guys.

Does this involve V heroes as well, huajiro?

V heroes? Is that virtual? If so, no....I want real stories of people throughout history. I want to learn from them. We should follow their examples.

Boudicea/Boudicca, the tall, red-headed queen of the Iceni tribe in Anglia, England, led her tribe against the invading forces of Rome (though her force was not successful). She is my heroine because she proved the abilities of women as leaders and because she stood up for her people.

Dio Cassius says of Boudicca:

"Boudicca was tall, terrible to look on and gifted with a powerful voice. A flood of bright red hair ran down to her knees; she wore a golden necklet made up of ornate pieces, a multi-coloured robe and over it a thick cloak held together by a brooch. She took up a long spear to cause dread in all who set eyes on her."Apparently her chariot had knives set into the wheel hubs. Wouldn't have liked to have had her chasing me in that thing.....

Hmmm, one person cam up with a hero. Aren't heroes the ones who should inspire us? I think everyone in RF should have at least one. If you are feeling a little lazy....give me the name and a brief description, and I will look them up and share the info

I really don't have anyone i aspire to be like...actually i have someone who i aspire to NOT be like and that's my father...
He left when i was about 11 and we haven't spoken but twice in the past 12 years or so...he wasn't much of a father or a husband...so i try to NOT be like that
