The 10 Best Female Protagonists of All Time

March 29, 2013 by Cameron Wright

Cameron Wright takes a look at 10 of the best female protagonists in games.

#1 Lightning

Lightning is a character that had her youth stolen from her. She wanted to grow up with a normal life, but circumstances forced her to take care of her sister Serah by living a life in the military to support her. Lightning resents Serah for that and makes Lightning one of meaner Final Fantasy heroes. She’ll often find ways to ditch the rest of her party any chance she can. In a series known for its outlandish character designs, Lightning is subdued. Her jacket covers most of her, letting a hint of the life she wanted peek through with her long pink hair. Lightning’s lean character design follows through all the way to her combat, as she strikes with grace and speed on each attack, rather than standing still and taking the brunt of hits.
