5 Sci-Fi Heroines Who Could Totally Hang with Rey

Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles, by Marissa Meyer)
Cinder starts out as a regular cyborg, trying to avoid all the anti-cyborg sentiment in New Beijing and stay under her evil stepmother’s radar. But before long, she’s leading a revolution, figuring out who her real family is, and learning how to use her newfound powers. Sound familiar? She and Rey would have so much to talk about over a nice cup of coffee, and really, Cinder could use a more reliable pilot, anyway.  Plus, they both have that knack for fixing mechanical things and picking up adorable robotic sidekicks. Will someone please make me a comic about BB-8 and Iko hanging out? Please?

Marguerite (A Thousand Pieces of You, by Claudia Gray)
Marguerite’s life is pretty normal—or as normal as life with two famous physicists for parents can be—until her parents’ assistant Paul murders her father and uses the transdimensional technology they invented to jump universes.  Determined to get revenge, Marguerite doesn’t hesitate to follow him through the different dimensions. It’s that kind of reckless bravery that would make her the perfect friend for Rey; not to mention, Marguerite could definitely use some help from the Force to get to the bottom of things.

Amy (Across the Universe, by Beth Revis)
Like Rey, Amy’s on a race against time, trying to figure out who’s waking up (and killing) the cryogenically frozen passengers on her spaceship before more damage is done. Both women are stuck with weird boys who’ve been raised and trained their entire lives for a specific purpose, both are stuck in an alienating world away from everything they’ve ever known—yep, Amy and Rey would be great pals. And anyway, they’ve both got great hair.

Lilac (These Broken Stars, by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner)
Lilac is a bit of a spoiled princess. Her dad’s the richest man in existence and she’s never had to deal with any real hardship…until an interstellar journey goes wrong and she winds up stranded on an isolated planet with no one but her polar opposite, Tarver, for help. Lilac and Rey may not have much in common, but I like to think their starkly different backgrounds would provide each other with perspective. At the very least, they share a determination to survive that’s seriously impressive.

Aerin Renning (Academy 7, by Anne Osterlund)
When she’s intercepted while trying to escape her old planet, Aerin expects to land back in slavery. Instead, she finds herself at the most prestigious school in the universe, struggling to stay at the top of her class and leave her old life behind her. But when her academic rival, Dane, drags her into trouble, she’s unprepared for the secrets about each other—and their government—they’re about to learn. And if there’s anything Rey could sympathize with, it’s trying to figure out mysterious backstories. With their combined flying and fighting skills, Aerin and Rey could pretty much take down any and every star system that dared to get in their way.
Now, if we could just have a book series where all these girls team up and take down some intergalatic bad guys, I would seriously die happy.
