Ripley

Ripley is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Alien franchise, portrayed by Sigourney Weaver. She is known for her intelligence, resourcefulness, and resilience in the face of terrifying extraterrestrial threats, particularly the xenomorphs. Ripley's character has become an iconic symbol of female strength in science fiction, as she evolves from a warrant officer in the original 1979 film 'Alien' to a fierce warrior and protector in the sequels. Her famous quote, 'At least the aliens don't screw each other over for a percentage,' highlights the series' exploration of human morality and corporate greed, especially in the context of the recent adaptation 'Alien: Earth,' which shifts the focus from alien threats to the darker aspects of humanity.
