16. Doctor Aphra
Doctor Aphra is wild and a walking disaster. She is fun and walks the line — often going over it. But Doctor Aphra is also her own woman who thinks of creative ways to get out jams and also knows how to get what she wants.
She managed to get out of the worst situations including face-to-face with Darth Vader. There are not many who could say that and she has done it more than once.
Aphra has escaped killer droids, bounty hunters and everything in between.
What is great about Aphra is that she is always up for an adventure. She also doesn’t pick sides other than her own. She is willing to work with whomever would give her the best credits.
Yet, throughout all her crazy antics she also has time for a little love. Doctor Aphra is not perfect as she lives in the grey area of life, but her moral ambiguity kind of makes it fun. She might take it a little too far sometimes, but who wouldn’t want to live a life where you make the rules.
Doctor Aphra lives be her own rules and we would not want it any other way.
