Hit the comments, and add them to the list!
Claire – Outlander Maybe it was her experience as a nurse in the war, but despite finding herself in one of the most unique experiences out of anyone, Claire always portrays herself as in total command of her feelings. Sure, she’ll fall apart later, but she puts on a brave face.
Desna – Claws Desna watches over her brother who needs extra help, and that might be what has made her so brave. Even facing death in the face didn’t turn her to a puddle. She always asks for what she wants and does what she can to raise up everyone around her.
Wynonna – Wynonna Earp Wynonna is just another gun-slinging Buffy-esque ass-kicker holding up her end of a deal thrust upon her by destiny. A fearless girl battling demons according to her destiny is exactly the type of badass we love around here.
Laura – American Gods Alright. Laura is dead now, but even when she was alive, she was huffing bug spray in her hot tub and taking risky chances in cars that sent her to her death. Dying made no impact and battling demons in pieces is easy peasy.
Jane – The Handmaid’s Tale The bedroom is Jane’s haven, and she can break, but in public, she will be as stoic as a single tear will allow. Nobody will get the better of her as she fights to survive the hellish Gilead created by men. She will prevail – whether only to flee Gilead with her daughter or to help overthrow the heinous government remains to be seen.
Dariela – Zoo Former military woman Dariela ran face first into the line of fire many times, and now that she has a child of her own – one of the last to be born on earth – there’s no doubt nothing will stop her from keeping him safe.
Eleanor – The Good Place Another dead girl who showed no emotion upon learning of her fate, and even less when she discovered she was in the wrong place and one mistake could have banished her to hell. Eleanor is stronger than your average chick!
Maeve – Westworld Technically a robot, Maeve was one of those who emerged like a butterfly fully sentient and capable of making decisions. I don’t believe for one second every one she made was programmed, but the man in charge would like us to believe it anyway. Maeve heroically went back into the hell where she was created without a hint of fear.
Camila – Queen of the South Camila Vargas runs a drug cartel and bows to no man, that includes her husband who just happens to be her biggest rival. Camila knows that a woman needs to be more barbaric than any man to remain in power. Loyalty is her prized possession. She surrounds herself with loyal soldiers, and anyone she even suspects of being a traitor ends up with a very short lifespan.
Diana – Younger Diana’s game face is brilliant. She can be absolutely terrified, but she looks exactly the same as she does when she’s put out or appalled. Never let ’em see you sweat! The world can be crashing down around Diana and she’ll work even harder to ensure success, providing laughs the entire time.
Harlee – Shades of Blue Has there been a single moment of Shades of Blue when Harlee’s life or those of the people she loves haven’t been in jeopardy? Sure, it can be due to her poor decisions, but still. We want her to come out on top of it all in the end!
Daenerys – Game of Thrones Dany started out in one of the most unsettling of positions on Game of Thrones, being sold to a man whose language she didn’t even speak. Her bravery throughout the ordeal only endeared her to his people and together with her compassion made her a highly effective leader and a woman worth championing.
(Unavailable) Linda – Lucifer Not everyone on Lucifer has seen the full reality of Lucifer himself, but Linda has. The result was she not only continued as his friend, but embraced them all and even put her life on the line for his. She looked past the surface and into the soul of the king of hell. If that’s not fearless, what is?
Lagertha – Vikings A wife, a mother, a warrior. Is there anything this woman cannot do and do successfully? The answer is no. She does everything well and does it all with a fearless confidence that she will do it well. She’s the final constant, so that courage worked well for her.
