THE SHORT VERSION: BAMC stands for Bad Ass Mother Confessor.
"As long as I am Mother Confessor, the Midlands Shall have just rule."
I have a thing for damsels in absolutely no distress. She is the rightful ruler of all the midlands, can tell when you're lying, and will not put up with you sitting in her chair. I love how morally unambiguous she is. She'll do GOOD, emphasis hers, because as Mother Confessor that's what she's there for: justice and compassion. I also adore how much she has feelings. CONSTANTLY. It's too often that emotional women are relegated to the role of 'hysterical whiner' by writers and fandom so it's ridiculously refreshing to see someone with epic feelings about her feelings portrayed and accepted as strong and badass.

Yes, dammit! As fun and intriguing as morally grey characters can be, I always root for the good guys and girls, because Good Is Not Boring.
