That's excellent! It's something I've noticed in most popular fiction of all genres – that, if you're lucky enough to have more than one interesting female character to start with, they are too often written as 'rivals' rather than friends/allies or (rarer still) lovers. I'm bearing it in mind with a fic that I'm writing just now: I am going to develop it so that my main female character has friendships with other women, of other ethnic groups. (The men in the story are mainly family members, so there's no 'romance' going on.)
