10 Reasons Veronica Mars Is Your Ultimate Geek-Girl Crush

By Aemilia Madden

We've got a thing for geek girls on television, but our ultimate badass, tech-savvy TV crush is none other than private investigator Veronica Mars — and we're not alone! Not only was the Veronica Mars movie funded through Kickstarter, but it broke records — just proof that we all love a heroine who's not afraid to let her geek flag fly.

With an introduction to the movie at last year's Comic-Con, we knew that Veronica would hold a place in our hearts forever. Why? Because with her smarts, sass, and gadget skills, she inspires us to be the very best marshmallows we can be. And with Kristen Bell, who plays Veronica, celebrating a birthday today, all the more reason to embrace our love for her, right? Source: Warner Brothers
