As exposited in the season opener, Taylor was the team leader before Cole showed up, even having been the only ranger for 6 months, something no other ranger, male or female, can lay claim to. She was very by the book, but as former military, I feel that attribute makes a lot on sense, and she was shown to have a reckless side as well. Taylor was easily the best fighter of the core five, and can hold her own well against Merrick. I honestly feel that she should have stayed leader, as she was clearly more competent than Cole.
Her aggressiveness wasn't just for the battlefield either. She refused to let anyone act superior to or insult her team. This was best shown in 'Reinforcements from the Future' when Eric tried his lone wolf routine, only to have Taylor call him out on his jerk-ass ways. In fact, she was like that with all people; taking shit was not in her DNA.
Taylor Earheart was the lone bright spot in a dismal season, and with her independence and fight skill, she is most assuredly one of PR's most badass women.
