Are there any fictional female INTP characters?

Conservative force?
Actions speak louder than words, and for all the words of protest she did speak trying to convince herself, she still acted against them; an INTP trait I believe.

Not to mention there were significant changes in her from 5th onto 7th year. Growing up changes.
I reckon hormones accounted for most of her emotional outbursts, in JKR's eye's. She decidedly had to reign her emotions in during the '2nd war', which she did do conciously.

my own assessment is that Hermione seems more STJ than NTP.

Luna is one of the more clearly N's, if you need a comparison point.

Kimiko Ross from Dresden Kodak comes to mind, although she suffers quite heavily from being idealized/mary sue wank material for the creator.

Yeah no, Hermione is not intp obviously for what it's worth. Sure her demeanor is "logical" I guess but that doesn't mean fans of applying logic can or should lump her into intp :confused:

Neither is Ariadne. Wth, come on now. If anything they're both infjs :p

Ariadne is apparently based off the Greek myth, who aided Theseus out the labyrinth. I would hardly attribute that to an intp but that's also up for debate, which I actually don't care enough to do about this. But she isn't intp.

Granger wasn't really that much by the books but she was a bookworm. She also expressed lots of emotion. I would say plausibly a highly intelligent infp or for sure an IJ. If inj I am not sure how her inferior Se was portrayed. I wouldn't completely rule out istj but find it highly unlikely.

No.

I think Hermoine flip-flopped. The author made it clear that she projected herself onto the character in places, so that may explain why she's hard to type. She seems to magically transform into an INFJ during her scenes involving romantic turmoil and then returns to an ISTJ the rest of the time.

Luna seemed to me as one of the few characters with intuitive traits in the series.
I recognise that attitude of not knowing what's going on around very well.
Her mother was a magic "inventor" and she became a magic "scientist" iirc.

Akane Tsunemori - main character of Psycho Pass. The more I think about it, the more I think she's an INTP.

I hate her. She is by far my most loathed fictional character ever. Her combination of rational thinking, intuition, calm demeanor and clarity of thought combined with the utter self deception she exhibits/practices bugs me like nothing else.

Sorry about that, I just really dislike this character. I can't fully decide if she's an INTP or INFP but I don't think she is affected enough by her feelings to classify as an INFP(she is really emotionally distant and doesn't usually make decisions based on feelings). Though I could be wrong as there is plenty of evidence to point to INFP as well.

I get the feeling that she just can't handle the world, utterly suppresses any "wrong thoughts" and escapes to her perfect dreamland were everything is fine.

My current location is classified.
I think Hermione is between INTJ and ISTJ. She goes from SJ by the book to NT logic back and forth. Luna Lovegood is very INFP. I think her father was INTP, maybe even her mother as well. Arthur Weasley could have been too.

My ENTJ friend is writing this TV series he thinks will kick off (It won't. Honestly it's pretty bad, and not the popular type of bad). Every good character (good to me at least) he eventually ruins and writes off as an asshole. He had one female INTP that I started to like, but then he took it too far and made her so INTP she doesn't care about the protagonists, even though she for some reason helps them.

I still wonder where other female INTPs are. They make better characters than people think.

Female INTPs are far easier to find the farther away you move from mainstream media/literature.
