10 Badass Women In Modern Video Games
6. Faith Connors - Mirrors Edge Series
Faith Connors is a runner, an orphan, and a rebel.
Since losing her parents at such a young age to The November Riots, she had grown up quick, and it shows. She is a very capable and self-assured young woman. Acting as a ‘runner’, Faith illegally delivers packages across the rooftops across the city of Glass. Whereas in a lot of games, the protagonist is thrust into their role, often reluctantly, Faith embraces hers.
She is a thrill seeker, a daredevil and she loves what she does. Also able to handle herself when it comes to combat, but really shining when it comes to parkour, there are few who could outrun Connors. Beginning Mirror’s Edge Catalyst as nothing more than a runner delivering packages, she eventually stands up against the all-powerful Conglomerate.
She is a symbol, a beacon of hope for the downtrodden across all of Glass. Her desire to see change in her city is inspiring and her fearlessness is what makes her so admiring.
