    Kerrigan's character was received positively by both critics and fans. The online publication WomenGamers.Com described the character as "one of the most convincingly tragic and enjoyably 'evil women'... ever seen in a computer game", citing that although Kerrigan could easily be classified as a "bad girl stereotype", her troubled and conflicted life give her more complexity than it might first seem, resulting in the character eliciting "both sympathy and hatred from the player".

    In their review of StarCraft, IGN drew note to the evolution of Kerrigan's character through the story, labelling it as unforgettable and describing her transformation as "chilling". IGN ranked Kerrigan the fifth most memorable villain in gaming, listing the various exploits she committed after becoming infested, including conquering the Zerg race, infesting many worlds, and betraying her allies.

    First reader's poll by GameSpot put Kerrigan as the second-best villain in a video game. The survey compliments the character for Kerrigan's drastic transformation, her fierceness and her manipulative political abilities. A second poll taken in 2010 rated Kerrigan as the best video game villain. Kerrigan was also rated as one of the fifty greatest female characters in the history of video games by Tom's Games, describing her "sexy, sinister and sympathetic" personality as amounting to one of the "most fascinatingly complex and memorable characters of all time".

    Complex and conflicted personalities are always interesting, are they not?

    There is a bit of the warrior in every female, in my opinion, held in tenuous balance by the nurturing side of her nature.
