15 fan-favorite Netflix Original characters, ranked

4. Eleven — Stranger Things

When the character first appeared: Eleven was introduced in the very first episode.

A little about the character: Eleven comes into the lives of Mike and his friends to wave Will Byers from the Demogorgon. She quickly proves herself to be anything but ordinary, powered up through superpowers that help her protect the Earth from the Upside Down. So far, we’ve only seen a small amount of what she’s capable of doing.

Why the character is a fan-favorite: It’s hard not to love a child. You want to immediately believe their innocence. The problem is, TV shows often leave you fearing the worst and sometimes, finding the right actor isn’t possible.

We had no idea which side Eleven would be on at first. Nor did we know what she was capable of. The uncertainty led to excitement, and she quickly became the most interesting aspect of this super weird, intriguing, and dynamic show.

Eleven didn’t understand the world when she was first introduced. We watched her grow into the kind, sweet, and loving young lady she is today. And that’s pulled us into her character even more. This is a character that we’ve seen remain loyal, even to those who were ready to cast her aside at first.

She’s not afraid of danger, nor to put her life on the line. She is the epitome of strong female characters and Millie Bobby Brown is an actress to keep your eye on.
