The Top Ten

Arya Stark (Game of Thrones)

Arya Stark is a fictional character created by American author George R. R. Martin. She is a prominent point-of-view character in Martin's award-winning A Song of Ice and Fire series and a main character in HBO's adaptation of the series, Game of Thrones. Arya is known for her development from a rebellious... read more

So sad how the series ended.
Mothra (Godzilla: King of the Monsters)

Mothra needs to be number 1 now! She's so powerful, beautiful, and amazing. The movie is a huge hit, and Mothra is what every woman should love. She is full of beauty and truly a queen.
She will do anything to save humankind alongside her partner, Godzilla, to defeat the evil King Ghidorah. Bow down to your queen, or you'll be destroyed. All hail the Queen of the Monsters!
She's a million times better than Eleven and even Black Widow. And forget Loud House! Mothra is perfect. Every other female character is so stupid that they are no match for Mothra. Put her at number 1 now!

I'm going to post my comment to say sorry for being so overdramatic and bashing so many people. It's just that Mothra has always been a show stealer, and she is a queen of this decade.
I never watched or heard of Loud House, and Captain Marvel is garbage. To be honest, Mothra has always been the most beautiful creature in fiction. You people just can't take her seriously, even though she's amazing and beautiful.
I will delete all my negative comments and so on. But please respect Mothra and the Godzilla franchise.
Luna Loud (The Loud House)

Luna Loud is the third oldest sister in the Loud House series. Her life changed forever after attending her first concert, which sparked her passion and dream of becoming a rock star. Luna's personality can best be described as wild, caring, and the loudest of the Loud siblings.... read more

People can say all they want about Luna Loud, negative or positive, but it doesn't change the fact that she's possibly one of the best female characters of the 2010s.
She's a rock star, a loving sister, and a great person to be around.

Out of all the Loud sisters, I'm gonna go with Luna. She's definitely the most rocking (no pun intended) of the Loud sisters.
Black Widow (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Natalia Alianovna Romanova, more commonly known as Natasha Romanoff or the Black Widow, is a fictional superhero featured in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is recognized as one of the most skilled spies and assassins in the world and is also a founding member of the Avengers.... read more

One of the best female MCU characters from the Avengers movie.
Eleven (Stranger Things)

Eleven is a fictional character in the Netflix science fiction horror series Stranger Things. She is portrayed by Millie Bobby Brown. Eleven has psychokinetic abilities and plays a central role in uncovering the mysteries of the Upside Down.

I really need to watch Stranger Things.

I never saw Stranger Things.

At 13 years old, Lynn Loud is the fifth-oldest child in the Loud family. She is also the youngest of Lincoln Loud's five older sisters. Lynn is known for her competitive nature and love of sports, often being portrayed as the most athletic sibling in the family.

No more negative things about Rey. She's an amazing character. She nearly killed Kylo Ren, which was badass. So give her a chance.

One of my favorite characters in the series. As the new Avatar, Korra rises to the occasion to restore balance to the world with every threat that comes her way.
Not to mention, she was the first bisexual animated Nickelodeon character, which was followed by Luna from Loud House.
Lara Croft (Tomb Raider, 2013)

In the reboot series, Lara goes from a scared and helpless character to the badass character we've come to know.
Lara literally goes through hell as she makes her way to save her friends and escape the island while facing danger around every corner.
Hit-Girl (Kick-Ass)

Hit-Girl is a fictional character from the Kick-Ass comic series created by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. The series was published under Marvel Comics' Icon imprint. In the film adaptations released in 2010 and 2013, Hit-Girl was portrayed by actress Chloë Grace Moretz.

She may be small, but she packs a huge punch and doesn't back down. She definitely deserves her own spin-off movie.
