Cersei Lannister is the resident bad girl of the Game of Thrones ladies, ’nuff said. Does she have dragons or training as a knight? Perhaps not, but Lena Headey’s plotting, political aristocrat will betray anyone and anything for her children, and the reason we love to hate her is that Cersei knows how to follow through. If you’re still not buying it, in the last season’s finale, she killed off almost all her enemies by blowing up the very place where she was to be tried for conspiracy: a little excessive, some might say, but with few enough loose ends to reveal Cersei as a master of strategy.
