Outsider/Rebel/Bluestocking Heroine: This heroine is tough, self-sufficient, self-thinking woman who will not conform just because others tell to her or because society dictates it. A person who wishes to control her is barking up the wrong tree.

Wallflower Heroine: Plain looking and overlooked by most, she is an extraordinary type of woman that excels at everything but small talk. She needs someone who can look beyond the surface and see her inner beauty.

Professional Heroine: The professional is sometimes mistaken as being a battleax for using her authority, but she knows how to handle people, and she will not be pushed around. She needs someone who is not intimidated by her brain or authority, and are able to give as well as they take.

Rich Girl Heroine: Rich, smart, and a little spoiled, but has a good heart. The Rich Girl needs someone who will appreciate her for herself and not her money.

Brainiac Heroine: This girl is smarter than your average bear and willing to use that to her advantage. She needs someone that will not be intimidated by her brain and can hold their own.

Spinster/Divorcée Heroine: Thought to be too old to ever marry or has previously been married, but possesses hidden passion and is too smart to settle for anything less than she deserves.

Woman Warrior/Kick-Butt Heroine: Tough, self-sufficient, uncompromising and needs someone that will not change her and accepts her the way she is - faults and all.

Minx/She-Devil Heroine: The Minx is mischievous, feisty, and self-thinking. She will give a person a run for their money and will be well worth it.

Girl Next Door Heroine: She is pretty, smart, sweet, wholesome, but somewhat naïve. She will most likely fall for the boy next door.

Paranormal Heroine: She is a strong, self-sufficient, and dangerous woman who will not put up with crap. She needs a person who can handle her and not be intimidated. The PH can be a witch, vampire, shape-shifter, etc.
