Snake's love interest in the original Metal Gear Solid, Meryl Silverburgh, resonated with fans at the time because she defied the damsel in distress archetype that most female characters were forced to take on at the time.

But of course, this role-reversal didn't stop Kojima from treating her just like he does all of his female characters, and the developer even gave Meryl a distinctive bum wiggle that can not only be seen as she walks in the game, but actually functions as a small plot point at one moment in the narrative.
