Yes, no matter what many people say that "I'm better off controlling a man", there exist women presences in games we’ve played that have come up with more manliness than many, smarter or with her own character and acting, have won over even the most skeptical. Or, at least, in many games because they really are weakest, because the game must be like this they make you see through their own perspective and bond with her trying to help her. Of course some are impressive on their own and catch your interest.
Here I’ll present my 10 favorite up until today.Ι am waiting for your choices
1)Εllie(Τhe Last Of Us,2013)
Before the game came out, I’d ordered the Joel Special Edition, thinking that little brat will only be there to be saved in various parts of the story…As it turns out I couldn’t be more wrong! Ellie, trained by the Fireflies, not only helps in many parts but also manages to win you over with her rebellious personality, some times more girly, others pretty smart, but down the road she comes to a point of having to take matters into her own hands, having to find medicine for Joel. In that part she truly acts more manly than many others who would cower and that is the reason she has won, along with Jill, the most respect for women characters in video games.
2)Jill Valentine(Resident Evil,1996)
Yes, she is my most favorite heroine and the first I admired in video games this much. Not only in the Resident Evil 5 and Revelation games but in the first one with the beret (the normal Jill) and in Resident Evil 3 (not only her appearance there, but for the great game in combination with Nemesis). Elements which are amazing on Jill are that she didn’t show her breasts or other body parts (My name is Lara Croft) and she won you over with her feeling of justice, her strength and eagerness to serve S.T.A.R.S..It’s not a coincidence that her nickname is “The Master of Unlocking”, looking at how easily she could get locked doors open.
3)Aya Brea(Parasite Eve,1998)
The gorgeous female cop which any man can’t miss. But it’s not just that. Ava possesses courage, determination and many extra abilities like Full Energy, Liberation etc which make her a force to be reckoned with. Her tragic story about her sister, the mitochondria which differ in relation to the most people around her and the creepy Christmas atmosphere make you bond with her ‘till the end. A real heroine, saves and protects millions of people in the end.
4)Chun Li(Street Fighter)
Chun Li is timeless, that’s why there’s no specific year. We met her in Street Fighter II in 1991 and it was bound to stay forever in the hearts of many. In my first look at her I was stunned at how much her legs seemed as worked out as those of a footballer hehe, but she was very likeable and dynamic. Also, the first woman in a beat ‘em up game, and the best until today. Many came and went, Cammy, Makoto, Karen, etc but none liker her. It wasn’t a coincidence that her winning message was “I am the strongest woman in the world”. She wins you over with her abilities, in combination with her appearance.
5)Emily(Deadly Premonition:The Director's Cut,2013)
The Sheriff’s helper and the newest citizen in town. Emlity is this relatively innocent person in contrast to what’s going on around her and this is seen in her face. Of course she’s not one to cook, but she’s very important in supporting you in everything you’re doing and you know she’ll give your soul for the company’s success. She wins you over with her appearance, but because she doesn’t come out as an “I’m beautiful”. She has eyes showing a very kind soul and that is her biggest plus. One of the most beautiful and humble presences in video games.
6)Mai Shiranui(Fatal Fury,1993,KOF)
Yes, she is one of the women that caught my eye because of her looks. I really like Mai’s appearance, beautiful and daring with her fans and scantily-clad. I was never a King of Fighters fan etc. but every time I see her, I find myself spending a lot of time gazing at her and so until today she remains a special character..
7)Clementine(The Walking Dead,2010)
We met Clementine from the first The Walking Dead game when the main character Lee found her locked inside her house while waiting for her parents. A scared and gutless little girl, until Lee helped her to survive on her own. He taught her how to walk among zombies, how to be fair and how to use a gun. And like that Clementine became one of my favourite heroines in videogames. A character striving for justice, sometimes she has the flaw not to openly take sides, but especially loveable that makes you happy to protect her and check at any given time if she’s ok.
8)Morrigan(Dragon Age: Origins,2009)
Or else the witch’s daughter, we met her on Dragon Age: Origins and she had an especially mysterious character. From the beginning she motivates you to know her better. A personality with a very well hidden femininity, which, once discovered, excites you .She has a lot of qualities that every type of man would want in a woman. If she listened to a type of music that would have to be heavy metal or rock. In the game she intensely shows her fondness and dislike for other people, her jealousy and of course she has magical powers that prove to be very helpful.
9)Mio-Mayu Amakura(Project Zero II:Crimson Butterfly,2003)
The twin sisters of the best game of the series that offers top-class Japanese horror. From the beginning of the game their bond, like all twins have, is so special that makes you feel like you are one of them in a way. One of them cares for the other and can’t go on without her. It’s the true love that these sisters share that can lead them even to death together or to the tough decision that one of them must take for the other. They are not that dynamic as characters but they are eager to learn the truth. Naturally they get scared of the various ghosts they come across with and they try to survive using their camera. This horror they experience truly makes you grow close to them.
10)Fiona Belli(Haunting Ground,2005)
After her family’s traffic accident (the premeditated one) Fiona finds herself in a medieval castle trapped in a cage almost fully-naked with a mysterious man next to her chopping meat. What could be more horrifying witnessing that through her eyes and start her adventure? This way you immediately grow fond of her and try to help a scared and hopeless girl trying to survive. She has no weapons, she’s not a wannabe model, she’s just a simple, beautiful woman trying to hide in order to survive from her pursuers. Her love for animals, like Hewie, her little dog whom she frees, makes her even more likeable. She is scared as a character, but her need for self-preservation is transferred to you and you feel the need to keep her safe from every danger. She’s also very sweet, but unfortunately the circumstances do not allow her to show this attribute very often.
