Why The Walking Dead Has the Most Badass Women on TV Right Now

Sweet Tara might not seem like a badass, but she definitely is. She has come a long way since her debut in the series, and it's been glorious. Once her tough-girl facade comes down and she moves on from her guilt for her involvement in the attack on the prison, she begins to blossom. She takes on more responsibility and gains maturity during her time as a runner for Alexandria. While she can be naive at times, it's that same desire to believe there's still good in people that makes her valuable in an otherwise-distrustful group. And even with that innate goodness, if Tara has to fight, she's going to go hard and she's probably going to fight dirty. And that's the kind of badass that is going to make it in the apocalypse.
