10 Most Badass Female Characters From Animated Shows

10. Cheetara - ThunderCats

The greatest heroes and heroines are the ones who rise above the greatest of adversities. And the ThunderCats are the literal definitions of that. Witnessing the horror of their home planet being destroyed, the only surviving members of the species escape to an alien planet where they hope to rebuild their civilization. And they wouldn’t have gotten very far without the woman of the house.

Cheetara is in many ways the wisest head in the group. She isn’t over-zealous courtesy of her own powers, doesn’t suffer from leadership complexes and rarely gets outsmarted in a fight. The latter mostly because enemies can barely see her.

Blessed with the powers of super speed, because you know Cheetah and all, she runs rings around most of the evil-doers who dare cross the ThunderCats and never wastes a second of emotion until the job is done. Except that one time she falls in love with a bad guy but come on now everyone’s got a heart.
