Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful girls at The Broke and the Bookish.
This week’s Top Ten Tuesdays is for super talented characters. I’ll see if I can come up with some. In no particular order, of course. But to make things easier, I usually split up my TTT posts into categories. For this one, I’ll separate their talents into sports + music + other professions, literature (because we are the bookish community) and intelligence (because honestly, not everyone can be super geniuses).
Sports, Music & Professions
♥ Jordan Woods, Tyson Green and Sam Henry from Catching Jordan — I’ll cheat and say they count as one since they’re all from the same book. Anyway, all three of these awesome football players got into college for the sport they love.
♥ Cinder and Cress from the Lunar Chronicles series — Cinder’s the most famous go-to mechanic in China, correct? And Cress is a kick-ass hacker? Gotta love these two talented girls.
♥ Seraphina Dombegh from Seraphina — Her “secret” lets her become one of the most amazing musicians there is!
♥ Vicky from A Mad, Wicked Folly — She’s an amazing artist who wants to get into the art school of her dreams!
♥ Alyssa Gardner from the Splintered trilogy — Alyssa’s also an awesome artist who uses all sorts of mediums for her art–even blood. Mwahaha!
Literature
♥ Cath from Fangirl — Cath writes. And she writes good stuff. She even takes a literature course in college and has a bunch of followers on a fanfiction website!
♥ Cara Sweeney from Alienated — Cara’s a journalist, and her goal is to be one of the best ones in the galaxy (and further)! She has a blog where she has hundreds of thousands of followers.
Intelligence
♥ Annabeth Chase from the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series — Annabeth is the one who thinks up all the strategies, aces all her subject and makes decisions.
♥ Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series — Everyone knows Hermione Granger for being the top of the class, knowing all the spells, potions, and how to do them all properly and cautiously.
♥ Day Wing and June Iparis from the Legend trilogy — Both of them got perfect scores on their Trials and now have fabulous professions and are both pretty famous for how they saved the Republic with their plotting and taking action.
Leave links to your TTT posts or share your top ten most talented characters!

I love everyone from Catching Jordan! <3 Yeah–not me, though. I suck at sports! :P

I’m pretty giddy of the fact that I know like 70% of the characters you posted here :P They’re all amazing, that I agree! I also write fanfiction myself. I have one that I started in 2007 (it’s a crossover!) and I have an on/off relationship with it, but it’s pretty popular (not that I’m bragging… although to be fair, it USED to be popular, before I needed like 2-3 years for an update ;P). Ah, I was in HS when I first wrote it, and I keep cringing at my faulty tenses and the like whenever I decide to read the first chapters. HAHA!
Anyway, enough about that. Thanks for this list, Aimee!

I love your list, and Jordan was so cool! I loved how she was super talented at football and none of the guys would constantly put her down for it because she was just that good and demanded respect from everyone. Also, Cinder and Cress are so cool! I haven’t read Cress, but I know from all the reviews that she’s pretty badass :)
