50 influential fictional women in nerd history

Eleven

When Stranger Things first started to make waves, fans quickly realized how important Eleven was to the story. A little girl who seemed to have pretty incredible powers, Eleven was an experiment, and we all felt for her. No matter her circumstance, we wanted to help her.

Flash-forward to 2018 after season 2 has premiered, and we’re all still just as obsessed with Jane Hopper. This little girl went from “pretty” to “bitchin,” and most viewers felt like proud mothers watching her. It’s fascinating seeing how many people love Eleven.

In a show filled to the brim with interesting characters, we all wanted to know more about Jane and then her eventual father/daughter relationship with Jim Hopper. Maybe it is because Eleven says so little yet still takes our hearts away.

Or maybe it is because her love of waffles is relatable. Whatever the case may be, we were hooked, and we wanted to make sure that she was protected at whatever cost. Granted, she could definitely protect herself, but still, that doesn’t mean we don’t want to help her out. Eleven is a great character to look at because she’s one of the few that both men and women love without abandon. She’s our child in a lot of ways and we all want to protect her.
