"Who would you pick?" Topic

So in the spirit of women's history month, what female character from movies or television would you pick to go into battle with? For a more limited scope let's leave out any super heroes, so no Wonder Woman, Bat Girl, Catwoman, etc. Someone could do a separate thread on that. I am going with Zoe from Firefly/Serenity.

Ellen Ripley.

Joan of Arc.

Uma Thurman/The Bride from Kill Bill

Xena

Or perhaps MiLady DeWinter
She would off the bad guy before I even arrived

Wynona Earp, with our without Peacemaker

Red Sonja. Calamity Jane comes to mind as far as real people go.

Gotta go with also

Zoe is a good choice.

Leela of the Sevateem.

Sofia Al-Azwar, Halle Berry's character in John Wick III.

Ziva David from 'NCIS' although Xena and Red Sonja are also good choices.

Jim

2nd Leela of the Sevateem.

Prime C. J. Parker I'll just sender her and her red swim suit running across the battle field which should district my enemies enough for me to get in some D&D style thief sneak attacks in.

Seven of Nine if I can add scifi

Historically Lt Loreta Velazquez – seemingly a soldier who played many roles

Aeryn Sun from Farscape.

Princess Dejah Toris

Samatha Carter from Stargate. Smartest person in the room and likely the best shot as well.

Bo Katan Krytze- what's not to like?

Or maybe Sabine Wren!

Sergeant Rita Vrataski from Edge of Tomorrow

Emma Peal from Avengers.

the Rani of Jhansi

Cara Dune (Gina Carano) from the Mandalorian, with blaster rifle.

I second Samantha Carter – the only woman who, in a pinch, could fashion a weapon able to destroy a small city from a broken toaster oven.

B

A second vote for Aeryn Sun.

BB

Susan Ivanova for space battles. Motoko Kusanagi for skirmishes.

That's most of the wargaming I get into, so I guess I'm covered.

Joan of Arc

I'd pick Zoe as well.

I had to look up several of these! I was kind of surprised not to see Alice from Resident Evil or Sarah Connor.

Another vote for Samantha Carter from SG1

Arya Stark
Rita Vrataski
Xena

Chani, daughter of Liet.

She is a Fremen, what more could be said?

With her I shall know no fear.
Where she has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

No doubt about it, Emma Peel.

Ms Perkins from John Wick

Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz 'The only man in Prussia'

Aethelflaed en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ęthelflęd

Helen Mirren:

Honor Harrington

Hillary Clinton

Well she scares the hell outa ME!!!!!!

O-Rin Ishi, Lucy Lui's character in "Kill Bill".

no doubt, Ziva David, followed by Helen Mirren and Emma Peel.

Lagurtha

Little My.
