Female Characters In Gaming: Past, Present, and Future

The history of female involvement in video games has been a rocky one. Back in the proverbial day it was unheard of to find a girl that enjoyed playing video games. If you did know a person of the finer sex who played video games, it was like finding a diamond in the ruff. These days though the taboo of the situation has lifted, and evolved. Which has inevitably led to female characters in video games to evolve, somewhat.

He’s actually a lady, and lack of strong female presence

In video game’s stages of infancy, you never saw females in the lead role. Sure, there was Princess Peach who always found herself kidnapped by a lizard or Princess Zelda who needed to call in her boy-toy Link to save the day. But the roles of females were anything but heroic. It wouldn’t be until a certain space bounty hunter came along that females were taken seriously in the limelight.Metroid

Metroid released in 1986 and at the time the game had received a warm welcome. The open ended exploration, and puzzle solving nature of the game carved out a niche that hadn’t been used in gaming. Sure, there was alien blasting and platforming involved but this game had you using the old noggin for progressing forward. The mind games wouldn’t end there as the mega surprise was saved for the end — the character you had been using the whole time was actually a girl. GASP.

It might seem trivial now, but back in the mid 80′s it was a highly progressive move on Nintendo’s part. Although you didn’t technically know the sex of the avatar on screen, pre-disposed notions led many if not all to assume Samus was a dude. Once the power armor came off, Nintendo solidified it’s place in video game history as presenting the first female video game lead role. Who kicked serious ass to boot.

Unfortunately, it would be quite a while before the next heroine would come along to take over where Samus started. Until then gamers had the likes of Mega Man, bad ass dudes with guns in Contra, and more Mario saving the princess to keep them tided over.

Fighting Games – Allowing female characters to sneak in and kick ass

Just because it would be a long time after Metroid before a female had a “lead” role in a game, doesn’t mean that strong female roles were completely absent . This idea was readily apparent in the fighting  genre. In 1991, the now iconic Street Fighter II was released in arcades around the world. It was met with praise, while at the same time introducing a now popular female character by the name: Chun-Li.Chunli

Unfortunately for Chun-Li she was surrounded by a dude fest, as she was the only lady who could be selected in the original iteration of the game. I was never a personal fan of her fighting style, but that doesn’t detract from her status as one of the original women of gaming.

The idea of allowing one female per fighting game continued on, with the most prevalent title being Mortal Kombat. Unlike the father avenging Chun-Li, Mortal Kombat’s heroine  relied on her sexuality to combat opponents. Sonya Blade was still a bad ass (special forces commando, actually) but her special moves relied on her sexuality as well. One of her moves blew a fatal kiss at her opponent, thus making Sonya the first ‘femme fatale’ of gaming.

As the fighting genre grew so would the roster of ladies involved in duking it out. Along with Metroid, the fighting genre was a key component in the early days of gaming to allow for females characters to get in on the fray.

Ok ladies, you’re in…as long as you’re voluptuous and the lust of 13 year old boys everywhere

Samus carried the moniker of ‘tough ol’ broad’ going into the SNES generation, but another would step up and carry on the ideal: Lara Croft. While Samus was anything but sexy, the world of 3D modeling allowed for Lara to show off some goods while traversing through levels. Thus began the era of overly endowed heroines, and in many ways still carries on today.

The original Tomb Raider game released in 1996 on the PC. Looking back it’s hard to imagine how anyone saw Lara Croft as a sex symbol, in game at least:

The graphics are archaic by today’s standards, but the idea of Lara Croft’s perfect body proportions were still able to be shown. Then of course you have her tight shirt, and way short shorts. And she was packing heat none the less, so of course any heterosexual male pined over this heroine. To her credit, Lara was more than just T&A. Her games had an adventure setting to them, and puzzle solving was a heavy feature. So, there was brains to go with the looks.

Lara Croft became the first buxom babe in gaming, and unfortunately led to a massive saturation of overly endowed females in video games. Here is a gallery of my favorite T&A characters throughout the years:

The future is looking brighter, and still sexy

All of this history has now brought us to present day. There are still a high volume of voluptuous females out there, and we still love them. However, there has been a subtle shift in female presentation in gaming. It’s as though a lightbulb has gone off in developer’s heads — we can still have sexy ladies in games that aren’t completely about huge chests, and barely clothing.

A perfect example of this evolution can be found in one of my most favorite recent games – Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. The game follows the story of  two female leads: Zoe Castillo and April Ryan. Both characters are involved in a highly in-depth story that is based mostly on characterization and plot development.

Both Zoe and April aren’t eye sores to look at, but compare them to the pictures above and it’s obvious that they are proportioned more correctly. To the size that it wouldn’t be too improbable to find two women out in the real world who look like this:

Zoe and April represent a shift that can be seen in other games out there. For other examples, research: Faith (Mirror’s Edge), Alyx Vance (Half Life 2), Jade (Beyond Good & Evil).

I hope that those who read this don’t misinterpret me. I have a fond place in my heart for the titilating females of gaming, Bayonetta really looks to take us to a new level with a heroine who wears nothing but her hair. And as she pulls off moves in the game, more of her body is shown off. The point is that not every game needs to have our women sporting double D’s, and attire that has said double D’s popping out of their chest.

Looking back in the history of gaming, it’s amazing to see the evolution of characters in general. While today I wrote about ladies in gaming, guys are represented just as insane sometimes too. As we move forward I hope that our characters mature with us as well. And perhaps one day we’ll find the great medium of sexy and smart all rolled into one.

    Nintendo made good with Samus, but don’t forget Sega!

    Their contributions came with Golden Axe and Streets of Rage. Tyris Flare and Blaze paved the way for female leads in beat-em-ups. A huge leap from the girlfriend that just got gut-punched in Double Dragon. Those chicks kicked ass and took names with authority.

  2. Jake Says:

    I remember my character in an online game which is a girl, a girl archer. That was so strong and i really miss it.

  3. Ralph Says:

    My favorite is Angelina Jolie who is the “Tomb Raider”. She is so cool.

  7. Josh Says:

    It reminds me of the day when i was still gaming in online. I could see a lot of girl characters with different armors they wear.

  8. Custom t-shirts Says:

    Chun paved the way for girls in 2D fighters. 20 years after SF release she is still going strong in SF4!

    I think female characters were more prevalent earlier on in Japan, since they have an anime culture already featuring many female characters.

  21. Corporate Events Venues News Says:

    For those who may not be aware, the term “pop music” is short for “popular music.” For many, the phrase “pop music” would refer to such artists today as Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, or the Jonas Brothers. However, they are only a small representation of what would be considered modern “pop music.”

    Most female characters look impossibly gorgeous even in heavily customizable games like MMOs. How do you female gamers feel about the video game industry’s perception of women (both in terms of appearance and personality)?

  26. Call Center Services Outsourcing Says:

    Yeah, I think females are highly sexualized in video games nowadays. Like sure they can punch and kick and stuff but that just seems like a sidenote.

  27. Day Spas Melbourne Says:

    I’m going to a party where you have to dress up like a character from a game, I need something quite easy, so please could anyone tell me if there are any female game characters with brown hair, preferably short, and with a fringe?

  62. creating a webpage Says:

    Rein was born into the powerful Mikamo Clan of Sunagakure, their bloodline limit giving them abilities similar to vampires. While on the other hand the Clan was feared from others as well as its own village, Rein’s father was a highly respected subordinate to the Fourth Kazekage while her brothers worked for the Sunagakure ANBU. But all the respect and esteem only applied to the main family, while Rein was considered to be a hybrid, being descended from the clan leader of the Mikamo and the daughter of the enemy clan leader Magoko. Arina Magoko, Rein’s mother, got killed by her own father when he found out about her love to Kenan Mikamo and swore to kill the offspring of their love. However, Rein was the one to change the plans of her grandfather and killed him when she was eight years old, avenging the death of her mother. Ever since, she lived with her father and grew up with the children of the Fourth Kazekage while she still has to live through disrespect and unacceptence from her own as well as the Magoko Clan.

    I watch a lot of anime, and play a lot of video games. The thing that I notice is that all the female characters are pigeon toed.
