Female bad asses

Okay considering it was International Women's Day yesterday, I've decided to compile a list of 5 awesome female video game characters. These are not a top 5. Just some awesome people. I know the day is over, but still I had assignments to do. Uni work > Blog right now

Samantha Byrne (Gears of War 3)

Samantha Byrne is here because of the fact she literally came out of nowhere between Gears 2 and 3 and literally made it hell for the Lambent and the Locust. Her father fought at Anvil Gate and has the same name as her. Not to forget she saved Marcus' life by running over a stranded with a bike in the Karen Traviss novel Anvil Gate. If you wonder why it's not Anya here. She changed her face and hair too many times.












Jenny (The Darkness II)

Okay this one comes with a massive spoiler warning. If you don't want to know the end of The Darkness II then do not read on.

Jenny may die in the first game, but since then she has been chilling in The Darkness' imprisonment. Not cool enough yet? How about this.. This chick is host to The Angelus. The complete opposite to The Darkness, she can only have human hosts, represents light and has been waging a war with The Darkness since before Moses. She uses Jenny's body to trap both Jackie and The Darkness in hell. If you think it should be Angelus and not Jenny, then simmer. It's Jenny's body.









Cortana (Halo)

Okay so pretty much the only reason I added her was because of Halo hype. She is still awesome in her own right though. How many women do you know what have the co-ordinates of earth inside her? or have to be destroyed if the covenant capture her? None.. maybe one...
She has seen the fall of Reach, The destruction of all the Halo rings and has even been in both Master Chief and Noble Six (not in a rule 34 way.)
She even spoke to Gravemind the Flood (kind of) leader. Who knows what he really is. Stupid Flood.









Ashe (League of Legends)

Okay, I'm going to be honest. I needed one more idea before I could unveil my ultimate! I play Ashe a lot in League of Legends. With the ability to attack quick and get crits over 500 with the right build she is awesome. She's also a Frost Archer, I don't know many of them..















Commander Shepard - Fem Shep (Mass Effect)

So with my copy of Mass Effect 3 expected to arrive in more respectable hours of the day. My ultimate female bad ass over here is Fem Shep. She's been a Spectre, she brought back her entire team from a suicide mission (or if you're Loz lost most of them.) Fought the Reapers, punched reports in the face AND invented the Shepard Shuffle. She keeps it real








I know it's the male Shepard but still!
