Spoiler Alert. Videos might contain spoilers!
10: Gwen Cooper from Torchwood. As I am writing this I am waiting in hope for another series to be green lit and she is yet to return to the small screen. But from what we got so far, we have a tough, diligent and compassionate member of special ops team Torchwood . I find that any character who can overcome being hunted by aliens, extra-dimensional entities and the Government deserves my respect. Starting out as vulnerable, she steadily became a badass fighter for Earth, no matter the cause, but always saves for those she loves most and those in pain. Plus, you gotta love that Welsh accent.
9: Michonne from The Walking Dead. Might seem a bit strange to see a character whom I placed so highly on my Top 10 Favorite TV characters not one year ago, but, well ... I guess evolution (or I changed my opinion, either way). Yet I can not deny my intrigue in her character. I'll tell you right now, in case of any misunderstandings, I have missed the entire last series so I have a lot to catch up! But her distant, cold nature, holds an underlying sadness and mystery. True she may look like some badass with a katana, but if we watch a little closer, we will learn so much more. Right now I am content with just the mysterious stranger persona.
8: Alice from The Critic. She may look, sound and act like small town southern gal, trying to make her way in the Big Apple. But don't let that fool you, that's honestly who she is. And that's the best compliment I can give her, she's a honest, all American woman. To tell the truth, she is more real than most of the women of this list and she's animated! And she's not just a comic foil for the main character Jay, she is his moral compass, a sense of real love in his life and has a great sense of humor. But it really annoyed me when she was dropped from the web series as another woman Whom Jay has lost. She really boosted Jays liability and made the show worth watching.
7: Mary Morstan-Watson from Sherlock. I was planning on choosing a character from Sherlock who was endearing and likable, as well as interesting, like Irene Adler. But this goes solely to Mary. The fact she is played by the real life wife of Martin Freeman (Watson) their chemistry is just ... elementary (sorry, I could not resist). Actually it is just adorable, like Peter and Gwen adorable. She was much more developed than her role in the novels or other adaptions, having a story arch, a mystery and actually assists Sherlock. I think she is the only woman, other than Molly or Mrs Hudson, whom he actually likes. And the audience and fans loved her too and were heartbroken to find out her secret in the finale. Not to mention finally ending will they or won't hey theories on a homosexual relationship among the fans. Not bad for a women who came between Sherlock and John.
5: Echo from Dollhouse. Not just pretty face, even though it is her primary purpose to be so. Starting out as a somewhat quirky doll (more so than the others), she gradually aroused more and more suspicion as she amassed more and more uploaded personas until her own subconscious broke through. Working from within the dollhouse to bring down the Rossum corp. she is a woman on a mission to free those who are trapped in the system. What really makes her stand out from all the others is her portrayal by Eliza Dushku, as well as the the original persona breaking through, Eliza also plays the role of the many personalities uploaded, whether it is a teacher, a master thief, an assassin or a girlfriend, each person is as compelling as it is memorable.
4: Catwoman from Batman the animated series. I just love the way she is presented Within the series, as a conflicted, seductive and enjoyable villain. True she may be a thief and her cat fetish may be OTT sometimes, but her Chemistry with Batman is just sublime. To me she is the true love of Bruce and Batman, and I look foreward to her appearance on the upcoming Gotham. She was one of the first femme fatales of the comics and thankfully she has earned the respect of many in the comic book community. What really sold me was the voice courtesy of scream queen Adrienne Barbeau. There is something so classy and romantic about the way she phrases certain words and I am glad they allowed her to contribute to the action and story, With many episodes concentrated on her relationship with Batman. It was a nice touch also to have her be an advocate for animal protection and become a socialite, schmoozing her way onto our screens.
3: Clara from Doctor Who. You see, I already like this character, but she is painfully underdeveloped. So what happens when we get at least one more series alongside what is assumed to be the darkest incarnation of the Doctor since 2005, only time will tell. But her unyielding loyalty, enduring charm and quick wit is a promising character in the making ! ... She is just lovely. There are two types of woman in the world for me; cute and hot, she is cute. Someone who has the looks, but prefers to flaunt her charm and wit instead, the type you want date in the long term. She has brains and friendly personality and has the potential to be as endearing as Elizabeth Sladen. I like to see her being helpful, I like to see her being clever and most of all I just love her sense of humor.
2:. Katara from Avatar the last Airbender. Why does everybody overlook her? To answer this question I decided to compare her against Toph, a fan favorite. If we were to take their power away and leave them as ordinary girls, we would have one character who is crabby, moody and literally left wandering blind. The other would be a strong willed, supportive and fierce character. Her motherly instincts aside, she possesses a need to help others, whether she has the resources to or not. She is powerful with her water bending and has her limits, she is often concerned for those she cares about, especially Aang. While it may have started out as unrequited puppy love, it transformed into a tender and romantic relationship, something only Katara could have provided, no matter what the fan fictions say.
1: Rogue from X-Men / X-Men Evolution. Oh yes, in my opinion, Rogue is not only on of the best female characters, X-men and superheroes of all time, I think she is one of the best characters of all time. What she has, the rest of the characters on this list have tried duplicate. Like Skye, she Struggles to prove herself, like Echo, she is fighting to maintain control over her destiny, like Katara, she is tough, yet caring and like Alice, she is just a woman who is southern home perfection. Her conflicting feelings on romance and safety, her tortured upbringing and such a heartbreaking ability that will never allow her the experience the joys of a single kiss. And all this has formed one of the toughest X Men just south of wolverine (literally!). I find there are two forms this character can take, but many more can still apply, and that is being the feisty, humorous optimist in spite of her tortured life or the relatable reclusive, who feels the need to take care of herself and fight her own battles. Each one is a brilliant role model to look up to and not only that, but she is as hot as hell, with her emerald eyes, curvy body, tousled auburn hair with the white bangs / streaks, she is the ultimate femme fatale. I also love her strength in Both mind and, more impressively, body. She Could kick my ass any day, with a quick quip and a truck to the face, I believe Rogue has the potential to become one of the most powerful superheroes of all time. Just please, please Bryan, give the girl her own movie. She is one badass Southern gal who I want to take out to dinner.

6: Skye from Agents of Shield. While the series may be considered Generally lackluster among the audience, to me it's saving grace was Skye. My first thoughts were quite ... negative to say the least. But as the series went on, she became more and more interesting and important by the second. Her relationship with Coulson is very much father/daughter, her relationship with Fitzsimmons is almost sibling like and her relationship with May is ... kinda strained, but now fully professional. Usually, Whedon writes his female protagonists as tough feminine figures or innocent and quirky. Thankfully we got the better of the two combined. She is smart, witty and out to prove herself, just how I like my leads.
