10 Video Game Characters Fans LOVE (That You Never See)
5. Miss Pauling - Team Fortress 2
Although Team Fortress 2’s gameplay consists only of shooting each other and completing objectives, the game does have some lore and story to go along with it. Promotional material and in-game content reveal some bits of information about the mercenaries you play as, as well as the enigmatic Administrator who coordinates their actions.
This also includes Miss Pauling, the Administrator’s assistant, who never makes an appearance in the game, not even a voiced one, and yet everyone in the community knows and loves her.
Miss Pauling is a character from Team Fortress 2’s shorts and comics whose job it is to do anything to ensure the mercenary team is fully equipped and ready for action. From making deliveries, taking inventory, and even committing murder, Miss Pauling is a true workaholic who never shies away from her duties.
The frequent antics her unrelenting work drive gets her into have earned her quite a bit of attention, to the point where she’s become a huge part of the Team Fortress 2 story without even appearing in the game itself.
Even the most casual players know of her existence, which is how you can tell she's dominated the title's popularity charts.
