10 Best Non-Human Females (And Their Capacity To Love)

This list of the best non-human females (and their capacity to love) has been quite a tedious task. The term “non-human female” is quite broad, and I bet a lot of you are asking yourself where the female aliens are on this list. Why not call them the best female robots? The answer is not that simple. The Mary Sue staff and myself agreed to establish a rudimentary basis for this list: the non-human females can not have reproductive abilities (so that pretty much cancels out a majority of our favorite martian ladies).

Which is to say, these female characters have gender, but no sex. That is, sex as a noun, not a verb. Their gender has been pressed upon them by their creator or the viewer regardless of the fact that they are completely asexual beings and, in fact, don’t reproduce (though it hasn’t stopped us from giving them genders and love interests). Which allows us to take a very interesting look at what characteristics, over the years, we’ve felt would identify a robot as female, and what roles we thought those “female” robots were suitable for.
