1. Shelby Miller, "Roanoke"

I absolutely loved Roanoke, really. I thought the plot was fascinating, it was an interesting twist on the Roanoke legends, and I absolutely loved whole "show within a show" thing. I don't completely hate Shelby in this season. but the true standout was Kathy Bates as "The Butcher" and "crazy actress who played The Butcher," and compared to her everyone, including Rabe, just sorta falls flat.

2. Aileen Wuornos, "Hotel"

Don't get me wrong, Rabe did a BRILLIANT job playing the famous serial killer, but we only got one episode with her! That's not enough!!

3. Nora Montgomery, "Murder House"

Nora Montgomery is kind of an awful person. She's spoiled, entitled, neglectful, and willing to kill to kidnap another family's child. BUT she's a fascinating character. She is desperate to have a child, while also not caring about the children who do come into her life. She spends most of her (onscreen) afterlife confused and in denial of her death. In a season full of terrible people, she's one of the most interesting ones to watch.

4. Sister Mary Eunice, "Asylum" and "Freak Show"

Technically, this should probably be number one, I know. The fact that she plays a dedicated nun who ends up possessed after an exorcism gone bad so wonderfully is proof of that. The sudden switch from innocent nun to evil, possessed villain is played BRILLIANTLY. This is the season where Rabe's talent truly shines. She really is brilliant, and Sister Mary Eunice should be her number one character. . . .

5. Misty Day, "Coven"

. . . Except Misty Day exists! The animal-protecting, Stevie Nicks-loving witch stole the hearts of American Horror Story viewers everywhere. She had an incredible witchy-boho style that I am obsessed with, she sang along with Fleetwood Mac's "Sara" (AKA one of the greatest songs ever), and cried when her Fleetwood Mac record was broken. She's sweet, strong, funny, and she literally brought herself back from the dead after being burned at the stake! She's pretty badass, but also relatable, as she spends much of the series looking for her "tribe."
