REY ! - Star Wars: The MaRey Sue Awakens ( contrary to many I liked the film and think Daisy Ridley was wonderful as Rey )

Miss Marple - Agatha Christie
Alice Morgan - Luther
Cameron Phillips - Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles
Dana Scully - X-Files
Samantha Stewart - Foyle's War
Sharon Valerii - Battlestar Galactica

Good call on Ripley, one of the best.

EDIT

Oh how could I forget Mah Queen !

Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, Mother of Dragons, Burner of Kings Landing and Incinerator of the Ickle Chijjuns. - Game of Thrones

I’m sure Daisy Ridley is a fine actress, my problems with her character are almost completely with the script

Yeah I get it but it's only a formulaic popcorn film after all, we aren't going to get Shakespeare.

Ripley's my favourite.

The character of Mrs Moore in A Passage to India is another.
