I would like to add to the list:

Maya Septerra Core.jpg

Maya, from Septerra Core

Maya is a the main character of the game, and is an incredibly realistic and rounded character. She's developed enough that summing up her personality in a few lines is extremely difficult. She runs the gamut from independent, caring, angry, and everything in between.

She's one of the first female main characters who I actually remember as a character in a game, and a great one at that.


In fact, Septerra Core: Legacy of the Creator is itself a great game. The combat is incredibly solid, the world and characters are extremely interesting, and the gameplay and voice acting is generally well done. Not to mention it has a wonderfully incredible steampunk feel. And if you haven't played it yet, it's availible at Good Old Games for only about ten bucks.
