What an exciting ride this was!
Last week, we posted an article asking you, our beloved readers, to tell us which recent female fantasy character was the sexiest in your eyes.
Well, you certainly responded in droves — more than 4000 of you voted (and more than 140 of you commented!). Turns out everyone has an opinion on this issue!
And so, without an further suspense, we here at the offices of TheTorchOnline.com give you the winner of the Sexiest Woman of Fantasy 2010 Contest!!
Here she is …
The Dowager Duchess of Thrice
The Dowager Duchess of Thrice made waves throughout the world of fantasy when she appeared in just one episode of Legend of the Seeker, entitled “Princess.” A combination of soft, feminine noblewoman and coy, fan-waving sex kitten, she made all of our geeky hearts leap into our throats, and sent shockwaves throughout the Midlands.
And so we crown her the Sexiest Woman of Fantasy, 2010.
Oh, I’m just kidding. The actual winner is …
Kahlan Amnell
Since the very first episode of Legend of the Seeker, we were all given a special treat, and that treat was named Kahlan. Brought to life by the luminous actress Bridget Regan, Kahlan was a multi-faceted woman, one who shined with beauty and virtue, and yet was a brutal warrior from a similar mold to her predecessor, Xena.
Yet unlike Xena, Kahlan strode about not in armor but a beautiful, feminine white dress, and her most effective power in battle — “confessing” — essentially caused her opponent to fall helplessly in love with her. Of course, over time, we witnessed Kahlan becoming more and more a hardened warrior, even adopting a more aggressive leather costume, which I affectionately refer to as her “Star Trek hooker outfit.”
Throughout two seasons of adversity, Kahlan triumphed over baddies and her own hormones alike, as she couldn’t consummate her relationship with her true love, Richard, lest she inadvertently confess him. But with the final episode, we learn the purity of their love overcame her powers, and they can now be free to express their love however they see fit.
And what’s sexier than that?
But for those of you who have been following the poll, it should be noted Kahlan just eked out a win (literally one percent more votes) over the runner-up, who, interestingly enough, shared the stage with her for a whole season, and just her name invokes images of sexuality. (And leads me to believe we had a lot of Legend of the Seeker fans voting.)
Cara
From her first appearance in last year’s season finale, Cara, as played by the gorgeous Tabrett Bethell, was a force to be reckoned with. Seemingly taking inspiration from Catwoman, Star Trek’s Seven of Nine, and X-Men’s Mystique, Cara put her sexuality out there, while at the same time showed her true colors as a decent, loving human being behind all the eye-rolling and sneering.
Other high-rankers in our poll include two characters from Spartacus: Blood and Sand — Lucy Lawless’ Lucretia (at 17%) and Katrina Law’s Mira (at 9%) — and an animated character, Dragon Age: Origins’ Morrigan (voice of Claudia Black), at 4%.
So there you have it, Torchlings. The results of the Sexiest Woman of Fantasy 2009-2010.
Be sure to come back later this week and vote for the sexiest male character!

It’s Kahlan then cara for me too. Kahlan is gorgeous and oozing with female authority. Be it a confessor, a mord-sith or a hooker. Love Cara too for she is so straight forward, sassy and attention catcher. Hail to the LOTS. More seasons please.
just saw the men’s results… so basically Seeker has the 3 sexiest people in fantasy in 2010 and it got cancelled!? wtf mates?
Nice win Kaylan, Cara was a close second, should of been a tie, you both deserve it. Lets be writing those networks, get the addresses off the legend of the seeker site, also you could send to syfy, their e-mail address is feedback@syfy.com, show them how many we are and want a third season.
Yes, Kaylan is the winner, but I think it should of been tied. Also lets get on these networks for letting a great show go, it’s not gone yet though, maybe we have a chance. Sign up for the legend of the seeker site, go on there and get the addresses of those people that control the networks, write them, e-mailing will probably just get them to delete, it will probably end up in their junk or spam mail, and they won’t see our fan messages at all.
Good win Kaylan, she is great in that role, I really like Cara also. Lets bring our show back for another season. I hope the network people are listening to all the feedback they are being given about this show.
I agree, Kaylan and Cara are about tied, but alot of good it does, those networks just don’t know what they have, to cancel a great show like that, or is it cancelled, people write the networks on the legend of the seeker site and get them up and moving so we can have a third season, this show is to great to let go, syfy, shame on you for not picking this show up, the merchandise alone, come on. There are so many people from around the world who want this show back.
LEGEND OF THE SEEKER!! If I say it over and over and over again maybe someone will HEAR our heartfelt quests to renew the show for Season 3! Our ladies rock don’t they! *wink* #Gay4Tab Say it PROUDLY! Go Cara!!!
#Gay4Tab INDEED! :D I love her so much! I’m so glad she was up their next to Bridget! :)
And I agree, there is no shame in loving our Tabrett! Go girl!!
The Dowager Duchess of Thrice! Woohoo! Kidding …
Should’ve been Cara all the way. Kahlan is just … meh.
Love Cara, But the Mother Confessor’s Con Dar rampage in the finale was sex personified.
Love Cara, but the Mother Confessor’s Con Dar rampage in the finale was sex personified!
Of course the Confessor won, but heh, Cara and Kahlan are both amazingly sexy, strong and interesting characters.
I knew it! Kahlan deserves to win! GFK!!! I like Cara but Kahlan > Everyone in my book!
Bah Kahlan is the loveliest but Cara is the sexiest no matter what this poll says :p
Legend of the Seeker Forever.
Cara is not lovely enough? May I suggest you watch Extinction, Unbroken and Princess again? ;) Cara > Kahlan in every way, as far as I’m concerned. :)
In Unbroken, she was another alternate personality. In Princess, she was acting. Only in extinction she was really herself.
Cara however shows very briefly her lovely side with Leo before he gets cooked by Nikki (wOOsh).
But on the whole Legend of the Seeker saga if I had to put sort of counters, for me it would go:
Lovely’O'meter = Kahlan
Sexy’O'meter = Cara
Also I think you take lot of risks by telling a Mord Sith that she is lovely, adorable, cute,…… :p
Yeah, I’d end up with an Agiel between my ribs but I’d risk it. :D
You have a point but Kahlan doesn’t interest me that much, I liked her in the first season but then Cara showed up and since then: Kahlan who? :D She is nice but no competiotion for Cara. And Cara is lovely in her own way, and showing it for a longer time so rarely just makes those moments count more, to me at least. :)
Oh, will Bruce Spence be on your Sexiest Male of Fantasy poll? :P
probably only as a write-in, alas!
Damn, I had hoped Cara would win, but ok, in my eyes she’ll still be the 1st!
Awesome! I love Kahlan and she so deserves to win! I also have a bit of a love affair with Cara too, so I’m glad she came in close second. Those Seeker ladies are knockouts! I’m also a Xena fan so I’m happy Lucy Lawless got third : )
the same for me !
Bridget Regan deserves to win, she is truly a knockout! LOVE her!!
And yet Legend of the Seeker got canceled? WTF. also, Cara > Kahlan
Aw, last I saw they were tied. I was hoping it would turn out that way.
YES! Kahlan is the clear winner in this one folks. Although, I do adore Cara as well … Kahlan is always #1.
ok, a little disappointed…. because my obsession right now is Cara (Tabrett Bethell) but helloo! Kahlan is a worthy winner for sure! Glad that the two of them got the first places ;-)
Go Seeker Ladies! :D
I really cant believe that Kahlan got that. Cara worth it for sure !!!! Well done Tabrett in our eyes you are FIRST !!!!!!!!!
Damn it… :( Tabrett and Cara is still the #1 for me and I’m sure for many other Seeker fans too!
