Inigo Montoya

Dread Pirate Roberts

Shoshanna Shapiro
In the HBO series Girls, Shoshanna Shapiro (Zosia Mamet) is a bubbly and innocent NYU student who’s often dragged down by her much more cynical friends. Her hyperactive speech patterns often get her confused with someone high on cocaine. Sho’s hair do and fashion sense are one of a kind.
Ragnar Lothbrok
In Vikings, Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) starts as a farmer whose ambitions lead him to join raids in England. Through his successes he soon becomes one the most feared Norse raiders of Europe. Of course, Ragnar’s costume wouldn’t be complete without his trademark hairstyle.

Ashley Spinelli
Spinelli is the substitute ringleader of the Recess gang. If you couldn’t tell by her clothing, she’s a tomboy who prefers to use her fists and threats to solve her problems. And don’t even try calling her by her first name, Ashley – she goes by Spinelli.
Princess Carolyn
In BoJack Horseman, Princess Carolyn (voiced by Amy Sedaris) is BoJack’s agent and on-again-off-again girlfriend. Oh, and she’s also a pink, anthropomorphic Persian cat.
Vincent Adultman
In BoJack Horseman, everyone is seemingly oblivious to the fact that Vincent Adultman, who likes to hang out in bars, is actually three kids in a trench coat with a broom for one hand and a mannequin hand for the other. Princess Carolyn even goes so far as to date this “stud”.
Shae
In Game of Thrones, Shae of Lorath (Sibel Kekilli) is a prostitute who becomes involved with Tyrion Lannister. As with all relationships, theirs has its ups and downs like having to hide from Tyrion’s father who wants to kill her, having to avoid Cersei Lannister who is trying to turn her against Tyrion, and having to compete for Tyrion’s attention after he’s forced to marry.
