20 Greatest Female Video Game Characters Of All Time
15. Jade (Beyond Good And Evil)
Jade is one of those heroines that's almost perfect to the point of fault. Like seriously, if she was in Mass Effect she would have maxed out her Paragon rating by the end of the first mission. In between saving the world and stopping evil from taking away every good thing on the planet, she legitimately works in an orphanage to help the victims of the very war she's fighting in. There isn't a bad bone in her body. So given that, there's almost no way a player couldn't fall in love with the protagonist of Beyond Good and Evil straight away, and her entire character alone is one of the reasons fans have never stopped clamouring for a sequel to this epic cult-classic. Go on Ubisoft, if Shenmue 3 can happen, you can give us gamers one last adventure with Jade and Pey'j.
