Game of Thrones: 10 Times Girls Run the World in Season 6

How She Slays: Brienne might be the most loyal warrior in the entire Game of Thrones universe. After dispatching Stannis Baratheon — an act of revenge as consolation for the devastating loss of Renly Baratheon — Brienne dutifully swears to protect Sansa Stark at all costs. She acts as a noble protector all season; she helps Sansa get safely to Castle Black, she provides support during a charged meeting with Littlefinger, and she even stands up to her old friend Jaime Lannister in the name of honor.
