10 Strongest Female Characters In Video Game History

War changes people. It doesn't matter who you were before, war makes sure nobody involved comes out unscathed.

While the same can be said of Valkyria Chronicle's female lead, the way she changes is very subtle and believable, given the situations of the games themselves.

Not only is she on the front lines, fighting off an invasion from a much larger country, but did so while seeing her hometown ravaged as she helped the last residents evacuate. Alicia's resolve in the face of overwhelming odds is admirable on its own, but throw in the empathy she shows to even the enemy belies a very strong character.

Add into it that she is a descendant of the Valkyrur and the mental struggles she goes through in coming to terms with her power and its seeming pyrrhic nature, and she is not only a very likeable but very compelling character.
