American Horror Story: 10 Best Minor Characters

3. Amazon Eve

One of the most important and uplifting themes of Freakshow was the togetherness of the Freaks, and the lengths they would go to look out for and protect one another. It's shown time and time again throughout the season, and the character who embodies this theme better than all others is Amazon Eve.

The actual stage name of actor Erika Ervin, Amazon Eve has every good attribute any audience member could hope to see. From her protection and close relationship with Ma Petite, her support for Penny after her abuse from her father, to the way she dealt with Dell's attempt to murder her, Eve showed that she was strong with her values as well as her physicality.

She was also not someone to be trifled with mentally either, catching onto the schemes concocted by Elsa and Dandy before they became common knowledge to the other Freaks. Whilst the likes of Paul and Jimmy were prone to bursts angry outbursts over the course of the season, Eve was so often the calming influence on the pair, understanding the bigger picture at play and encouraging a more level-headed approach.
