I just love watching some badass woman go all berserk and kick the guys' (and other girls') asses.  Especially when they laugh and call her things like 'little girl' first.  This is a live-action list of those women.

Criteria:

-Must be in a fantasy or period piece (exceptions where time-travel or feudalism is involved).
-Must wear some type of armor (cloth, fur, etc. armor acceptable).
-Must actually be capable of fighting (not just wearing armor for show).
-Must wield a weapon other than a gun (i.e. a staff, a bow, a sword, etc).

They are listed alphabetically according to the movie or show they appeared in.  If you can think of anyone I've missed, feel free to leave a comment.
