Women's Month (Video game edition)

[Ayen]

It's Women's History Month, and I admit I was woefully ignorant that this was even a thing until a few months back, but as I have mentioned before I decided to use this time and contribute in the ways I know how. With video games.

What are some video games you played that had playable female characters and who among them were your favorite? Now most people when they think of women characters in games their minds often go to Lara Croft and Samus Aran since they are the most well known, but there are more than that.

In addition to Lara and Samus we have Jill Valentine, Clare Redfield and Rebecca Chambers (Resident Evil), April Ryan from the Longest Journey, Bayonetta (though I still haven't played that game yet), BloodRayne (BloodRayne), Faith Connors (Mirror's Edge), Zoe Castillo (Dreamfall), Meetra Surik (Star Wars: KOTOR II), Alexandra Roivas (Eternal Darkness), Terra, Yuna and Lightning from Final Fantasy of course and while Shepard has no canon gender I find the Mass Effect a lot more enjoyable with FemShep. And that's just out of the games I've been exposed to.

But they don't just have to be playable characters, they can be any character that stuck out to you in a video game so have at it.
