Never mess with a mother who lost her children and suffered blows of love and rejection for she will fight back and protect her family. Lagertha is a shield-maiden, fighting alongside her former husband and fellow Viking fighters. She was once the devoted wife of Ragnar Lothbrok but has since married another after they lost their second and unborn third child.
8. Pam Poovey (Archer)
Pam Poovey grew up tough, since she spent much of her childhood being teased and humiliated by her sister, and went to college by participating in an underground fighting ring where she may have killed several people. To sum it up, this is one tough lady.
9. Lara Croft
Who would dare go to ancient, hazardous tombs and ruins around the globe? Only a tough, weapon-wielding woman. Only Lara Croft.
