Hi all, share your favorite strong female character(s) in a game. Anyone you want.
What this thread isn't: OH my god yas queen!!!-characters made by developers for the sake of checking checkboxes for social credit points.
What this thread is: well-written female characters who you genuinely liked, because they have an interesting story, good character development or other reasons.
My favorites:
The Boss - Metal Gear Solid 3
This also happens to be my favorite game. I played it almost 20 years ago and still haven't met a female antagonist who I liked better.
Sadie Adler - Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption 2 touched me on a regular basis but Mrs Adler was one of the greatest characters in the game.
She's a character who joined the Van der Linde gang after she and her husband get homejacked (resulting in her husbands death).
She quickly evolved from a depressed widow in the first chapters to a gun wielding killing machine determined to avenge her husbands death against those responsible.
Jade - Beyond Good and Evil
I think she'd be more famous if the game received the attention it deserved but sadly Ubisoft didn't put much effort in advertising this underrated game.
Jade is a journalist who tries to expose the militia who are protecting the people on her planet. Her only weapon (story-wise) is her camera and her courage and determination to find evidence for a sinister alien conspiracy. I liked how despite several setbacks gave everything to finish her mission.
So these were my favorites. Who are yours?

I liked her even more when I learned her true motives for her defection and how she actually wasn't an antagonist but payed to ultimate price to serve her country as a patriot.

I was really afraid that she'd die in the end of the game considering the fate of 90% of the gang members involved dying.
