Video games, like movies, are almost always looking to tell a story.
Using it not for evil, but for justice, change, or the simple right to do good.
Faith Connors from theMirrors Edgeseries is a great example.
And little of her aspiration stems from her own personal incentive.
Behind her honest intentions is a formidable warrior whom we’d ride with into any battle.
And her bravery only serves to highlight why she is one of video games' most noble female protagonists.
Many people were caught off guard, but it was precisely that mystery that made her character so significant.
The reveal of her identity ignited her as the first female protagonist in video game history.
And safe to say, Samus Aran is a significant character that is easily deserving of that spot.
There is simply no adversary in any Metroid game who can compete with Samas Aran.
Many players couldn’t help but sympathize with Joel and Ellie’s adventure.
And the unbearable weight she’s always carrying throughout the first game.
However, it’s Ellie’s perseverance that helps carry us throughout her adventure.
Ellie’s determination is so inspiring that it even constantly ignites Joel’s fire to survive throughout the games.
Her portrayal in theTomb Raiderseries is epic, adventurous, and about as cool as it gets.
Whatever situation she is thrown into, her unwavering determination will get her out of it.
Sometimes even with some lost treasure, as she is a treasure hunter first and foremost.
Lara Croft needs to write a book about mental toughness.
She literally does not back down from any situation and instead confronts it head-on.
