I'm figuratively mesmerized by your icon -- who are they?

That is Elizabeth Weir, the commander of Atlantis in Stargate: Atlantis, and she is fighting The Nice Young Men in Their Clean White Coats in a hallucinatory dream world which is trying to convince her that Atlantis never happened and she dreamt all of it.
