My archetype (using mythology/astrology) is Athena, kind of androgenous. Athena never marries or has children. She is a warrior, too, who defends her beloved city and its people. Might have been due to my upbrining and being around powerful women, but the feminine/masculine aspects have somewhat blurred. I'm thinking of other androgenous females and Quan Yin comes to mind. She transcended the feminine/masculine aspect (is what I learned from my mother's buddhist tradition), yet she is often characterized as a goddess of compassion, as if to attribute compassion into being a feminine thing. I sense a sisterhood w/ Caroline, who seems to be an aspect of a lot of us (born biologically) female.
