10 Female Video Game Characters You Totally Fell In Love With

9. Jade (Beyond Good & Evil)

Over to someone we actually just loved to control, let alone hang out with; cult-classic Beyond Good and Evil's Jade is a character for the history books. Many of us instantly perked up and sat perched on the edge of our collective seats when creative genius Michel Ensel emerged at last week's Gamescom, hoping and praying he was about to show some footage of the confirmed sequel, but it was to no avail. Instead the many who want to continue to experience BGaE's glorious mix of Zelda-like combat and fully-realised Pixarian world will have to dive back into part one. Taking the fight to oppressive alien race the DomZ, Jade is a freedom fighter of sorts with a giant talking pig named as Pey'j as a best friend. If the combination of bouncy, beautifully-animated worlds and a cavalcade of loveable characters wasn't enough to hook you in from the offset, the game's seamless blending of genres and tropes will.
