Lists about the most memorable fictional characters in film, TV, and literature that will stick in our minds forever.

Characters We'll Never Forget

Some of the greatest characters in literature are women and girls, but which ones are the very best?&nbsp;From the evil to the undeniably perfect, the always strong to those who those who <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fictional-characters-who-never-give-up/ranker-characters" target="_blank">never give up</a>, these are the greatest female characters from literature of all genres. This list includes the best female characters of all ages, like the youthful girls Matilda (Matilda) and Hermione Granger (Harry Potter) to the ever-so-adult Evelyn Couch (Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe). We&#39;re even ranking <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fictional-characters-who-are-immortal/ranker-characters" target="_blank">immortal female characters</a>, like Galadriel from Lord of the Rings and the goddess Athena you read about in Greek mythology.

Why do female literary characters stay with readers long after they&rsquo;ve finished reading the novels these characters are featured in? Often, it&rsquo;s due to the intimacy with which readers have come to know a character. Jane Eyre (and all of her desires and feelings), for example, becomes so real to readers that they feel as if they&rsquo;ve met and understood this amazing female character. So many people relate to fiery, independent Jo March that her marriage at the end of Little Women feels like a betrayal - something <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/jo-professor-bhaer-relationship-little-women/bailey-brown" target="_blank">the 2019 film adaptation addresses head-on</a>.

Other times, readers love female characters in literature because of the audacity of their actions. Scarlett O&rsquo;Hara (Gone with the Wind) was exceedingly bold for a woman of her time, while Madame Defarge (A Tale of Two Cities) is an exemplar of tireless villainy. Some of the most popular female literary characters manage to embody both wholesome and defiant, becoming reflections of the complex nature of women.

For the wide range of personality traits we find in these <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-female-tv-characters-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">great female characters</a> (and the audacious actions they&rsquo;ve performed), these women have earned their titles as the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-female-movie-characters/ranker-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best female characters</a> in literature. They may be young or old, charming or black-hearted, but they are all memorable. Whether you love them or love to hate them, all the famous fictional heroines are here in this list of the best female characters in literary history.&nbsp;

Game of Thrones

All across the Seven Kingdoms, people are getting burned. And not just by dragons. Insults fly across the realm, whether your mother was a whore or you have no honor. No one is safe from a verbal lashing or quick put down. What are the best insults ever thrown down on Game of Thrones or in <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/real-meaning-of-game-of-thrones-prince-that-was-promised/stephanroget?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">A Song of Ice and Fire</a>?

Some characters are known for their sharp wit and frequent barbs. Tyrion Lannister is the most prolific insulter in Westeros. He can take it just as well as he can dish it out and is never wanting for a great comeback.&nbsp;Insults must run in the Lannister blood, as Cersei can also be relied upon for an epic burn. However, she usually lacks the wordplay and artistry of Tyrion, choosing instead to hurt her target as deeply as possible.

Many GoT insults focus on the target&#39;s birth. Was your mother a whore? Get ready to hear about it for the rest of your life. But nothing is off limits and there&#39;s no shortage of classic jabs at another person&#39;s looks, pointed statements about one&#39;s talents (or lack thereof) on the battlefield, and sarcastic mentions of a man&#39;s lack of honor.

Vote up the absolute best insults from Game of Thrones - either the HBO series or the George R. R. Martin books. If your favorite put down isn&#39;t here, add it below, and be sure to check out more <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-to-watch-if-you-love-game-of-thrones/watchworthy" target="_blank">shows like Game of Thrones.</a>

This list of the best, most interesting characters from HBO&#39;s Game of Thrones&nbsp;series has been voted on by tens of thousands of GoT fans. Though the complicated study of power dynamics in the fantasy kingdom of Westeros may not have too many identifiable or even sympathetic lead characters, it has nonetheless produced a wide variety of compelling, entertaining and outsized personalities, from the brutal boy king Joffrey Baratheon to his diminutive but ingenious cousin Tyrion Lannister to their rivals, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/all-members-of-house-stark/ranker-of-thrones?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Stark family</a> of Winterfell and the &quot;Mother of Dragons,&quot; Daenerys Targaryen. But which characters are the true fan favorites, providing the most memorable moments and unexpected plot twists? While it&#39;s inevitably that a certain Bolton is likely to get heavily downvoted based on the true evilness of his character, hopefully some of the more nuanced &quot;not purely evil&quot; characters will maintain high rankings based on the opinion of true fans (like yourself, dear reader!).&nbsp;

HBO&#39;s Game of Thrones&nbsp;show is based on the Song of Ice and Fire&nbsp;cycle of novels by fantasy author George R. R. Martin.&nbsp;Martin has said that the series was partially based on the real &quot;War of the Roses&quot; that engulfed England in civil war in the 15th Century. Those conflicts concerned a rivalry between the houses of Lancaster and York, whose names clearly provided inspiration for the rival families of Lannister and Stark in the GoT universe. While this list is focused on characters from the TV series, voters who have both seen the show and read the books will probably vote somewhat differently given the additional nuance they will bring to their opinion of this unique ranking. This list ranks every major Game of Thrones character from best to worst, and given how many fans have voted on it, it&#39;s the definitive ranking of GoT&nbsp;fan favorites

You could make a pretty good case for Leslie Knope's passion, Liz Lemon's wit, and Rachel Green's attitude. Or, if people really want to talk about strong independent women, we have listed ladies like Susie Greene from &quot;Curb Your Enthusiasm&quot; and Xena (the Warrior Princess). Some seem to think even Nancy Botwin from &quot;Weeds&quot; is a good female role model on television -- perhaps for her business sense. TV can make a difference in the culture, as shows can set standards and aspirations for young women, or men, with the remote control.

List of TV's most memorable characters, of all time, chosen by the Ranker community. What makes a character live on in the public's memory, even years after the original run of their respective TV programs? In some cases, it's the amount of depth that the show's writers, actors and other creators were able to bring to the character over the course of many years. For many of the greatest TV characters of all time, audiences feel like they get to know personalities like Dexter Morgan from &quot;Dexter.&quot; Even after the show leaves the air, they may not want that relationship to end. (Thankfully, they don't have to, as many shows live on for years after their cancellation on DVD and in syndication.) The best TV characters are ones that you feel like you know and that you'd want to be friends with.TV has brought many famous characters to life who have been extremely compelling, even if they are not entirely likeable. Viewers may not wish to know dangerous, shadowy figures like Tony Soprano, Vernon Schillinger, and Omar Little in reality, but following their exploits safely from the comfort of your living room can be appealing. Likewise, people who might be aloof or downright unpleasant in real life - think &quot;Mad Men's&quot; Don Draper or Al Swearengen of &quot;Deadwood&quot; - can prove charming, even admirable, when seen at a distance, with the subtext and intricacy that a top long-running TV show can provide.Who is the greatest TV character ever?

It&rsquo;s always wise to remember that the journey is just as important as the destination&mdash;a lesson especially pertinent to fans during the&nbsp;final season of Game of Thrones. Whether or not the series did a competent job of concluding its various storylines is a controversial topic, but few would argue that the character arcs of Game of Thrones themselves stand as some of the most compelling in recent television history.

When a long-running and/or popular&nbsp;TV show adds a new character to the ensemble, some TV snobs might scoff. It&#39;s considered a sign that a show has lost the spark that made it special. Adding a new face is a&nbsp;desperate attempt to inject new creative energy into the series, these critics assume. And yes, TV history is full of late additions that did derail the show. (Looking at you, <a href="https://www.theloop.ca/the-highs-and-lows-of-cousin-oliver-syndrome-tvs-most-shameless-ploy-for-ratings/" target="_blank">Cousin Oliver</a>.)

But sometimes, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-tv-characters-who-werent-in-the-first-season/randy-miller" target="_blank">a new character can actually save the show</a>. There are also plenty of examples of late-to-the-party additions that became just as beloved as the core cast, and sometimes even more popular.

Your Favorite Odd Couples From Game of Thrones

The Best Game of Thrones Odd Couples

When reading the Game of Thrones books, you can imagine just how hot these characters are. When watching the TV show, you&#39;ve got the proof right in front of your eyes. Even if you&#39;re happily married, or in a stable relationship, if these babes were real... you just might be out the door.

The characters on this list are lust worthy for a variety of reasons. Some, like Ros and Shae are just plain hot. Ygritte would gladly show you the ways of love. Brienne&#39;s hotness comes from her awesome&nbsp;sword fighting&nbsp;and battle skills. A few characters on this list, like maybe... Cersei, are lacking in the personality and decency departments, but come with all sorts of royalty related perks (and some really good genes).

No matter how much you love your wife or girlfriend, there are sure to be at least a few GoT characters you&#39;d drop her for in a second. The women of Westeros and Essos are just too irresistible.&nbsp;

HBO has put out some of the most innovative and character-rich original series ever.

That&#39;s showbiz, folks!

Anyway, thankfully HBO is HBO. Without it we wouldn&#39;t have Tony Soprano, or Tyrion Lannister. We wouldn&#39;t have Stringer Bell. Stringer Bell, you guys!

The People in Your TV

Some of the best TV shows - the ones that eventually soar to critical acclaim and garner millions of die-hard fans - don't always hit the ground running. It can be pretty hard to find your footing that first year. In fact, there are a lot of TV characters added after Season 1 that went on to become integral to their shows.One of the most tried and true methods that showrunners use to stabilize a shaky first season is introducing new characters. A new character can energize a lagging plot line, or even lead to a new plot line entirely, taking the show in directions that may not have been originally intended.Not all new characters work. Many are summarily dismissed. But some of these new characters feel so enmeshed in the fabric of the show, it's hard to believe that there was a time when they weren't a part of it at all.This is a list of the greatest <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-hated-tv-characters/matthewcoleweiss?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">television characters</a> who weren't in the first season.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD.

No series finale can resolve everything. No matter how definitive an ending, questions invariably remain - characters with uncertain fates, decisions with uncertain consequences. Game of Thrones&nbsp;is no exception. It gave us plenty of resolution - a dead queen, a new king, a new nobility structure... and of course lots and lots of deaths.

Those who survived now move into open-ended future. Where could those futures lead them? To spinoffs, of course. While HBO has its hands full developing&nbsp;Game of Thrones-related prequel content, the network would no doubt jump at the chance to continue one or more of the stories left hanging at the end of its flagship series. It&#39;s unlikely to ever happen, but if it were, here are 11 theoretical possibilities for what we might see next. As for what would make the&nbsp;best&nbsp;spinoff, that&#39;s up to the voters - because unlike in Westeros (sorry, Sam), this here is a democracy.

Another key battle is on the way on Game Of Thrones. While Cersei has a bigger army, she&#39;s sparked a level of rage in her enemies beyond anything we&#39;ve seen before, perhaps ensuring the &quot;Last War&quot; for the throne will be even more devastating than the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/got-battle-of-winterfell-mvp/christopher-shultz" target="_blank">battle for Winterfell</a>. But who among the forces of good will emerge as the most valuable player in the battle of King&#39;s Landing? Who among Daenerys&#39;s army will strike the most devastating blows? And who will take out <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/cersei-downfall-theory-game-of-thrones/stephanroget" target="_blank">Cersei</a> herself - if not someone from Daenerys and Jon&#39;s alliance, then perhaps one of&nbsp;her supposedly loyal allies?&nbsp;

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD.

Few&nbsp;Game of Thrones&nbsp;episodes have been as consequential as &quot;The Long Night,&quot; AKA the Battle of Winterfell, as a victor was finally declared in the long-brewing&nbsp;war between the living and the dead. It was one of the most highly anticipated episodes in the show&#39;s&nbsp;history, and its consequences rippled&nbsp;all the way to the end of the saga three episodes later. The dust has since settled, so it&#39;s worthwhile to reflect back on the dark, decisive battle&nbsp;to see how some of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-game-of-thrones-characters" target="_blank">best Game of Thrones characters</a>&nbsp;fared against <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/white-walker-fan-theories/lisa-waugh?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the White Walkers</a>.&nbsp;A massive cast of GoT favorites showed up in the Battle of Winterfell, but only one can hold the title of MVP.

And which&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/game-of-thrones-deaths/devon-ashby" target="_blank">Game of Thrones deaths</a>&nbsp;will be remembered among the series&#39; all-time best?

Who Was The MVP Of The Battle Of Winterfell On 'Game of Thrones'?

Game Of Thrones: The Battle Of Winterfell MVP

The first two episodes of the final season of&nbsp;Game of Thrones&nbsp;have been suspiciously calm. No <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dead-game-of-thrones-characters-we-miss/ranker-of-thrones" target="_blank">characters have died</a>, and most interactions have been sweet, surprising, or a mix of both - looking at you, Arya and Gendry.&nbsp;

Still, a sense of doom has lingered over even the most heartwarming of scenes. When we see a character&#39;s arc complete - like when Jaime knighted <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-brienne-of-tarth-quotes/ranker-of-thrones?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Brienne of Tarth</a> - we know that the character&#39;s demise cannot be too far behind. The creators behind&nbsp;Game of Thrones&nbsp;are <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/foreshadowing-in-game-of-thrones/zack-howe" target="_blank">not ones to leave loose ends</a>, and there have been clues as to who will bite the dust as they battle the Night King.&nbsp;

After the divisive fifth episode of Game of Thrones&nbsp;Season 8, &quot;The Bells,&quot; fans were almost certain&nbsp;that Daenerys Targaryen would perish in the series finale. <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/foreshadowing-in-game-of-thrones/zack-howe" target="_blank">Foreshadowing</a> had audiences believing that there would be an epic battle for the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/26-famous-pop-culture-figures-sitting-on-the-iron-throne/chaz-fletcher?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword" target="_blank">Iron Throne</a>, but it turned out to be more of a whisper than a bang.

An unsuspecting Mother of Dragons&nbsp;met her end in the arms of her lover/nephew, Jon Snow, after he said she would always be his Queen. Drogon melted <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/26-famous-pop-culture-figures-sitting-on-the-iron-throne/chaz-fletcher?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Iron Throne</a> and then took his mother&#39;s body away, leaving Westeros without a Queen. In the end, Bran Stark was made king by an oligarchy of lords and ladies and Daenerys - who spent most of her life chasing the throne - never had the opportunity to rule.

Warning:&nbsp;Game of Thrones&nbsp;Season 8 spoilers ahead.

The first two episodes of the last season of&nbsp;Game of Thrones&nbsp;have been unsettling. Yes, there have been moments of levity, like when Jaime Lannister knights <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-brienne-of-tarth-quotes/ranker-of-thrones?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Brienne of Tarth</a> or when Arya decides&nbsp;to have her way with Gendry. Character arcs are coming to a close, and now there is only one thing left to do: battle the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fan-theories-about-the-night-king/carly-silver" target="_blank">Night King</a> and his legions of undead soldiers.&nbsp;

There is no question there will be deaths in the third episode, but <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/night-king-battle-deaths-game-of-thrones/maggie-clancy" target="_blank">who will die in the battle against the Night King</a>? And which of these characters&#39; departures would&nbsp;have you calling in sick to work or school on Monday?&nbsp;

Who Would You Be Most Sad About Dying In The 'Game Of Thrones' Night King Battle?

For eight seasons, we all wondered who would&nbsp;end up with their buttcheeks on <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/26-famous-pop-culture-figures-sitting-on-the-iron-throne/chaz-fletcher?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Iron Throne</a> as the rightful&nbsp;ruler of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/aquaman-what-are-the-seven-kingdoms/jonathan-kantor?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Seven Kingdoms</a> on&nbsp;Game of Thrones.&nbsp;Way<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fan-theories-about-the-night-king/carly-silver" target="_blank"> back in Season 1</a>,&nbsp;Cersei Lannister told Ned Stark, &quot;When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die,&quot; and the subsequent liberation of Ned&#39;s head from his cumbersome body proved how right she was. After that, Cersei&nbsp;spent her fair share of time on the most coveted seat in Westeros, succeeding her husband Robert Baratheon, her demonic spawn&nbsp;Joffrey, and, of course, dear sweet Tommen.

None of them could hold on to power, though, so it wasn&#39;t a surprise when&nbsp;Cersei&#39;s reign didn&#39;t continue unabated. Dany briefly returned a Targaryen to the seat of power, but Jon Snow remained very &quot;Jon Snow&quot; and murdered his lover before she could harm any more innocents.&nbsp;

While the Iron Throne itself is gone (thanks to an angry&nbsp;Drogon) Bran Stark ended up Westeros&#39;s rightful ruler. As Tyrion said, stories unite people, and to Tyrion,&nbsp;no one&#39;s story was as powerful as Bran the Broken&#39;s. Jon&nbsp;made his way back to the Night Watch, Arya Stark went to discover what was west of Westereos,&nbsp;and Sansa Stark served as the Queen of the newly independent North.&nbsp;

'Game of Thrones Fans' Iron Throne Predictions, Ranked

<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/26-famous-pop-culture-figures-sitting-on-the-iron-throne/chaz-fletcher?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">The Iron Throne</a> may be what everyone in Westeros is vying for, but there are definitely other - and perhaps better - seating&nbsp;options to fight over&nbsp;in Game of Thrones&#39;s final season. With the final battle approaching, it seems that somebody aside from Dany -&nbsp;or the Night King if you count his now-zombified dragon, Viserion -&nbsp;should hop up on a dragon.

Despite the show&#39;s penchant for a grisly demise, there are still plenty of characters left that could take the reins of Drogon or Rhaegal. And take note: this is not somebody riding a dragon with Daenerys&nbsp;behind the wheel, this is a person doing the actual flying.

Vote up the characters you think have the best shot at flying a dragon in the show&#39;s final episodes.

Game of Thrones isn&#39;t exactly known for being very nice to its female characters, but when you get right down to it, the ladies of Game of Thrones&nbsp;are some of the most badass, powerful <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-female-tv-characters-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">women on television</a>. They&#39;ve got dragons, magic and battle skills, and they know how to get what they want. Each of these characters is awesome in her own, special way.

From the Mother of Dragons to the Mother of Demons, all those who mess with the ladies on this list get what&#39;s coming to them. Some, like Yara Greyjoy, are in command of their own men, while others quietly control events from the background.&nbsp;And don&#39;t underestimate even the youngest women listed here - Arya Stark might still be a child, but she won&#39;t hesitate to own you with her sword-fighting skills - just ask the Night King.

TV Quotes

HBO&#39;s Game of Thrones was one of the biggest shows on television, but it wouldn&#39;t be much of anything were it not for the incredible characters fighting against or alongside one another to sit upon <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/26-famous-pop-culture-figures-sitting-on-the-iron-throne/chaz-fletcher?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Iron Throne</a>. Looking back over the eight seasons and 70+ episodes, it&#39;s difficult to recall what some of the first words spoken by GoT characters actually were.

A character&#39;s opening line can help to establish who they are in just a short period of time, and while many of the first words spoken by the core cast aren&#39;t all that telling, some of them might surprise you. This list comprises the core characters from the show with their opening lines. When their first uttering was a simple greeting or name, it has been combined with the following sentence, but otherwise, these are the first lines spoken by the main characters on Game of Thrones.

A Song of Ice and Fire

Who has the most chapters in the Game of Thrones books? Each novel in the&nbsp;A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin is written from the point of view of a different character. Tyrion Lannister has the honor of most Game of Thrones chapters, coming in at 49. He&#39;s followed by Jon Snow with 42, and then Arya Stark, who not only has 34 ASoIaF chapters, but holds the distinction of being the only character with at least one POV chapter in every book so far, including a preview chapter from The Winds of Winter.

Some other important statistics to help inform your <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/game-of-thrones-conspiracy-theories/lisa-waugh" target="_blank">Game of Thrones fan theories</a>:

<ul>
	<li>Cersei does not have a chapter at all until the fourth book,&nbsp;A Feast for Crows.</li>
	<li>Davos Seaworth has MORE chapters than Cersei does.</li>
	<li>Bran has the very first chapter of the entire series, which could point to his importance (get your <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/bran-stark-theories-predictions-trivia/lisa-waugh" target="_blank">Bran theories</a>&nbsp;here).</li>
	<li>Catelyn has a pretty high number of chapters, especially when compared with Bran and Sansa.</li>

The Raven has brought you the latest Game of Thrones list and it’s full of SPOILERS!&nbsp;Season six of Game of Thrones sees the evolution of many main characters. After many wars, assassinations, and savagings, our characters are wiser and tougher. If they’re still alive that is. Just about every character has been touched by the events of five seasons, except for maybe Littlefinger. That guy’s teflon.&nbsp;Sansa has gone from puppy love to having a PhD in sadomasochistic matrimony. She’s survived the brutality of Joffrey and Ramsay Bolton and still have to contend with Petyr Baelish’s weird obsession with her. But one thing’s for certain, she’ll never pick up a Westeros Tiger Beat again.&nbsp;Arya was always a tomboy, but she’s graduated to assasin status as she finishes up her training as a Faceless Man and ticks more names off her list. Forget long winters filled with White Walkers, Arya is coming for you, Cersei.&nbsp;Bran has grown up, ready to seer his way through the mysteries of the Seven Kingdoms. He’s a solid sidekick to maester-in-the-making and fellow sleuth Sam. And what of Tyrion? Our wine-swilling, whore-loving Half Man has grown more serious, having secured a spot on Dany’s side of the world. His wisdom is certainly valuable to anyone wishing to sit on <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/26-famous-pop-culture-figures-sitting-on-the-iron-throne/chaz-fletcher?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Iron Throne</a>.From season one of&nbsp;Game of Thrones to season six, who’s had the most dramatic transformation? Let’s ask the Three-Eyed Raven, shall we. &nbsp;

Game of Thrones&nbsp;featured one of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/game-of-thrones-scenes-hidden-meanings/lisa-waugh" target="_blank">most intricately woven plots</a>&nbsp;in television history, which means it was easy to get lost amidst the expansive narrative and its far-flung cast of characters. There&#39;s only so many Stark siblings one can reasonably keep track of at a given time.

That breadth never dampened fans&#39; collective enthusiasm - not even during the lengthy intermission between the&nbsp;final two seasons as the series&nbsp;entered its endgame. But for late arrivers and repeat viewers, this should serve as a handy guide for where everyone left off after&nbsp;Game of Thrones&#39; penultimate season, leading directly into its six-episode capstone.
