Amaturasu, female gods in a wolf form count right?

It's a race between Mona Sax and Alyx Vance.

My favorite has to be Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy. Why? A Couple Reaons:

1:She's Not A typical shallow, always-gets-captured-in-the-games-she-decides-to-show-up-in, character like Peach or Zelda.
2:Like Bastila in KOTOR she holds a great dark secret about the main character (in this case Cloud Strife) thats revealed in the middle of the game just when u think the game's almost over, thus starting a whole new adventure-thing for redemtion
3:Unlike Samus Aran of Metroid, she doesnt need a big power suit to get the job done. In fact unlike most characters in video games, she doesnt need ANYTHING except her body to kick ur f@$%&# ass!
4:She doesnt exploit her sexuality. Noble, but also very disappointing for most fans or underage kids because trust me, she has a LOT of it. Thank SquareSoft for that.
5:.........Okay The Obvious Reason Also Regarding reason number 4. If u dont know wat Im talkin about, just search her up in Google and ull find out. -_-

I'm with the Phoenix Wright thing, but more towards Maya.
NOT for body...but because her character is really good.
"Hmm...I wonder what that sign says? BUR...?"
"It's partially concealed. I can't quite guess what the rest of it says."
"Hamburger?"
"Why would anyone write Hamburger that big?"
"Maybe for the World Hamburger Festival?"
"I doubt it."
"...Maybe it said Spaghetti?"
"But...it says BUR..."
"Well maybe it was a typo!"

I thought Ema Skye was a better sidekick plus she returns in Apollo Justice!

The only time I like Maya better is when she's possessed by Mia.

I'm going to be mocked for this but, mine is Asuka Kazama from Tekken.

C'mon guys. Or am I just lonely and confused?

The reason I choose these two is because they aren't bad-ass action girls, which is annoying as fuck. Also, they're hot.

Wait. Wait. You say Yuna from FFX-2 because she ISN'T a bad-ass action girl?

Could I borrow your copy of the game? I think I played a different version. FFX-2 had Yuna ooze 'bad-ass' action girl as bad as Lara Croft. It was a little bit revolting at times.

April Ryan, from The Longest Journey.

What? Officially the most whiny character in videogame history April Ryan!?

 

[Thaliur]

I liked Amabel Swanson (from Penumbra: Black Plague). If there's any need for reasons here they are:
She's a scientist, most likely a viral biologist, that means she's smart.
She is reasonably tall.
She seems to like joking, even in dire situations. Sense of humour is very important for me

Also, I like Rayne.
She's beautiful, strong, slightly evil, and sarcastic.

Yes, she's the generic manly/brutal female instead.

 

[OverlordSteve]

my favourite female video game character is Franziska Von Karma

This. All the way.

My personal favorite would have to be Samus Aran from Metroid. Simple reason really, she has one of the coolest suits of armor I've ever seen (short of Warhammer 40k Space Marines) and makes a living blowing stuff up. That and the fact that she useually goes around killing local wildlife (seems that she also has something against peta...I like that).

I also find it interesting that when it comes to the topic of sexism in gaming, people are very quick to deny Samus' femininity since she happens to be a strong female character (and protaganist, thats even rarer) who acts alone and litereally kicks ass under the pretense of her wearing full power armor throughout the game (that would undermine their arguement though, wouldn't it?).

Well-said.... Samus is definitely fantastic and downright cool. If she didn't have the ability to freeze enemies, though, I think she'd only be 75% as cool

She's not manly/brutal. She's tsundere. She's cold hearted and brutal to everyone except the person who she loves so huggy-muggy much. Eventually the power of the one she loves thaws her otherwise ice cold heart and she actually acts like a human being to other people.

Not really. :/ She is still extremely feminine. Not to mention the fact that throughout the entire freakin game (Final Fanatsy VII) she's trying to get Cloud Strife which was both sweet, but sometimes annoying.

Plus she's dead sexy which I sadly admitted. Dont believe me, check this out.

Barring that, whichever ones keep their mouths shut.

The only vocal sounds Samus makes are pain/sex moans.

i have to say, i have a particular fondness for Ivy from SC. the motion physics of the 360 version... woah...

Sheik, from OoT. Loved a helping Zelda for once.
