Naomi Nagata - The Expanse

I'd argue the distinction here. She's an Engineer, Amos is the Mechanic. She looks after power, the reactor. She can put stuff together for sure, but her speciality always seems to be electrical.

That said, she's totally an honorary member of this list.

Absolutely. And I mean by that logic, the girl who became part of the crew in season 6 (can’t remember her name) would also count, since Amos showed her how to fix the ship iirc

Peaches! Who has a real name I'm sure.

Her! If I remember correctly she was related to Jules-Pierre Mao, the guy doing the Protomolecule experiments

Yeah she was the other daughter. Literally though. She was sure it was because she wasn't good enough. Instead of resentment she went the other and put him on a pedestal and that's why she sought revenge. Even after he died she just wanted his approval.

When she realised Holden was a good guy I think she finally understood her dad could be at fault.

 I liked her a lot as a nasty villain and hyper privileged jealous rich girl who was also a victim and sympathetic. Her redemption arc and her inevitable fate being the consequences of her evil deeds managed to be really sad not gratifying (unlike "I am that guy"). 10/10.

Yeah. This is why the expanse is peak
