More reasons as to why Vastra is the best dw character - go
Yippieee! I get to be annoying about how amazing she is!
She is essentially Sherlock Holmes, her cases are plagiarised BY Doyle in universe, and she famously HATES comparisons to Sherlock Holmes XD
She has a fantastic moral compass and it's called Jenny Flint.
She is a mirror to the Doctor only in way hotter.
She has canonically tried to eat a rooster early in the morning despite knowing she shouldn't eat raw chicken.
She is simultaneously a brilliant fighter and lethal as fuck, and also scared of furniture attacking her.
She introduced herself with "I'm a lizard woman from the dawn of time and this is my wife" in Victorian London probably just because she thinks it'd be funny, get yourself someone who does it like her.
She is physically incapable of not flirting with her wife every five seconds.
Tongue.
She can wield two blades at once and has (probably!? I think this is pretty much supported by canon) taught her wife how to fight.
She has defeated Cybermen in 13th century Japan once.
She has broken into multiple banks, stunned the people there, and just walked out the front door.
When needing to talk to Clara, she not only sent a letter with a drug candle through time, she also considered that Clara would find the candle icky and therefore laced the paper with a drug as well. (That woman probably has a drug cartel somewhere)
She once had a 48 page Christmas plan for her wife and has consulted local children for research purposes into Christmas.
HAVE YOU SEEN HER SHE'S GORGEOUS.
Can hypnotise people and extract information out of them that way.
Is filthy rich (because she has robbed multiple banks) and has little care for money (or doesn't understand it much, which is also fair).
Has committed acts of vandalism by smearing on maps in a library and then claimed that it isn't vandalism "to an inquiring mind".
Got high on drugs when she thought her wife was dead, built a nuke, and nearly set the world aflame because what's the point anyway - immediately stopped all that the second her wife looked her in the eye.
She's part of the sweetest, most chaotic little found family in all of Doctor Who and honestly that's beautiful.
Feel free to ask for elaboration on any of these, and those were just the ones I could come up with off the top of my head XD But as you can see, she is the best, and so is her wife actually
