10 Strongest Female Characters In Video Game History

10. Commander Jane Shepard - Mass Effect

Commander Shepard, regardless of looks or gender, is truly a paragon of what a sci-fi protagonist should be.

Not one to let the interstellar politics get in the way of keeping the galaxy safe, Shepard does whatever is necessary to get the mission done. However, this is a rare case of the voice actor elevating the character above the norm.

While the male counterpart to Jane is perfectly serviceable, the acting of Jennifer Hale truly gives the female variant a much broader range of emotions, allowing for far more nuanced deliveries to better fit the situations that arise.

Shepard is always a badass in any telling of the story, it is safe to say that the games would have been lesser if anyone but Hale had voiced Jane Shepard.
