She stands straight and tall. Her gaze is steady, her manner forthright. She doesn't mind sticking her nose into trouble. There was a man in her life, but a fateful journey has kept them apart for many years. A workplace romance is out of the question. She's not Kathryn Janeway. Stunning in leather, she favors suede. She is a true believer in fair play, and a champion for the innocent. She has many admirers, but justice is her passion. Those who scheme for wealth and power must fear the tread of her high-heeled boots. She's not Kira Nerys. She is open and friendly to all, without prejudgment. Her smile is given without calculation. She lives for adventure, and thrives on risk. She plays to win, and isn't above a little celebration. She never takes herself too seriously. She's not Jadzia Dax. Her beauty is legend. Her attire might be considered provocative... or scandalous. Where you see a puzzle, she finds the solution. If it comes down to a fight, she strikes the telling blow. Her final act will shatter a relationship, and leave millions in stunned denial. She's not Seven of Nine. She precedes Number One, and survives in Mystery. Who is She?
Diana Rigg played Mrs. Emma Peel, on The Avengers, in 51 episodes, beginning in 1965. Mrs. Peel's husband, an explorer, was lost, and presumed to be dead. Then, at the end of one episode, he was found and he returned to England. Mrs. Peel said good-bye to Steed, and left The Avengers. You don't forget something like that.
