This was a TOUGHY. I had some conflicts with characters because naturally, a lot of the ones I love started with the same letter, so I did my darnedest to pick and choose. I could have easily doubled up on some letters, but it was H A R D.
That’s what she said.
*Runner-up: Ada Wong (Resident Evil) because she’s, well, Ada Wong.
*Runner-up: Barret Wallace (Final Fantasy VII) and his determination to save the planet.
*Runner-ups: Claire Redfield (Resident Evil) and Carth Onasi (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic) which..you know, actually, they all win, I LOVE THEM ALL.
*Runner-up: Geralt of Rivia (The Witcher) – THIS WAS SUCH A CLOSE ONE. It hurt my heart, but Garrus is easily one of my favorite characters of all time.
*Runner-up: Harry Mason (Silent Hill) & Heather Mason (Silent Hill 3) – anyone who can survive the horrors of Silent Hill is ay-ok in my book.
*Runner-up: Jack (Mass Effect) is such an “I-don’t-give-a-fuck” badass, you can’t help but love her. Hell, I wanna BE her.
*Runner-ups: Laguna (Final Fantasy VIII) and Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) for obvious reasons.
*Runner-up: Nina Williams (Tekken) because she was always my go-to badass babe.
*Runner-up: Revan (but I don’t want to spoil that one) 😉 and Rinoa Heartilly (Final Fantasy VIII).
*Runner-up: Tifa Lockhart (Final Fantasy VII) because she’s so thoughtful and selfless. She would do anything for her boo, Cloud.
Honestly, there are so many inventive and beautiful characters within the video game universe. How amazing is it that we’ve had the opportunity to experience these very unique personalities created from scratch by brilliant minds over the years? ❤️
