Emily Scarratt as Carol Peletier
Why it works: Empowered, intelligent and able to take matters into their own hands, the fly-half and Carol put the good of the team ahead of the individual no matter what. Carol transitioned from an introverted, defenseless survivor to one the shows most powerful characters by proactively establishing her independence.
Scarratt was never known as one of the quickest or most technically gifted players, but her intelligence, effectiveness and dedication allowed her to accumulate over seventy caps for England.
