In this men dominant world, we usually see women as weak, simple or sweet. And even the fictional world shows them helpless and feeble. But, a few television series are changing this image of women and making us believe that they can also be a strong, fierce, and complete badass.
Here are our top favourite badass female characters who are defining the strength women hold within them.
10 Most Badass Female Characters
1. Lagertha (Vikings)
Lagertha is the most badass and dangerous character I have ever seen in television history. She is strong, beautiful and a great leader whom you always want to be on your side.
If we talk about her role in Vikings, she is the greatest shield-maiden of her time and the first wife of great Viking leader Ragnar Lothbork. She fought various battles in the series and won most of them.

2. Carol Peletier (The Walking Dead)
Carol Peletier is one of the main characters of AMC’s original series The Walking Dead. She is someone who doesn’t seem a threat to anyone, but she is very dangerous and unpredictable.
Carol always lives between normal people and acts like them. She only turns on her fighter mode when needed. And these qualities make her the most badass character of the series. She saved her group more than once.
3. Daenerys Targaryen (Game of Thrones)
Daenerys Targaryen is the most loved and inspiring character on this entire list. She is a mother of three humongous dragons and a rightful heir to an iron throne. Her charm, compulsion and aggression make her one of the most badass female characters in Game of Thrones.
4. Katherine Pierce (The Vampire Diaries)
If anyone asks me what is the synonym of badass bitch, then I will say it’s Katherine Pierce. Because she is the most selfish, influential and bad character I have ever seen on TV.
She is a vampire girl who creates all the mess in The Vampire Diaries. Apart from her villainous character, she is beautiful as heaven and always takes advantage of that.
5. Tokyo (Money Heist)
After the incredible ending of Money Heist, we all know who is Tokyo and how badass her character is. At the start of the series, she was a bank robber who is on a run.
But after meeting the Professor, she became a part of the biggest heist of all time. Her intelligence, aggression and badass dialogues amazed us so many times.

6. Maggie Greene (The Walking Dead)
Maggie Greene or Maggie Rhee is another badass woman from The Walking Dead. It is not possible to summarise her whole character in one sentence, because she is very good at so many things.
Maggie is a born leader, beautiful, kind-hearted, but also violent when needed. And the most important thing, she always takes her revenge. So, she is not someone you wanna mess with.
7. Jessica Jones (Jessica Jones)
Jessica Jones is the only character on this list who is a Marvel superhero and has a whole series dedicated to her. She is a character who didn’t have high moral values and lives a life on her own terms.
Scared of her powers, many people try to recruit her to their side, but Jessica only moves when she wants. She always gets her things done, doesn’t matter which path she chooses.
8. Polly Gray (Peaky Blinders)
I don’t need to say anything about Polly Gray because she is from the Peaky Blinders, the most badass show ever. She is an aunt of Thomas Shelby and the second leader of the Peaky Blinders group.
Her character is very fierce, intelligent and compulsive. She handles most of the tough business of the Shelby family.

This list can’t be complete without Arya Stark, because she is one of the most badass female characters in the legendary series Game of Thrones. This character is popular for her transformation.
At the start of the series, she was a little innocent girl who used to play normal children. But when life took her everything, she start her own journey and become a trained assassin.
10. Maeve Wiley (Sex Education)
Maeve Wiley is another badass character who is known for I don’t give a fuck attitude. The speciality of her character is that she is not violent but still can scare you with her angry looks.
Apart from that, she is very beautiful and every boy on campus wants to date her.
