GOOD Female Support Characters

Tennenbaum from BioShock (not many video game characters evoke genuine sympathy from me, but she pulled it off), Ashley and Liara from Mass Effect, and Ruby from Dark Cloud (not much to offer plot-wise but she's effective in combat). I didn't see many current-gen characters so I figured to balance the timeline a bit.
While they aren't support characters (they're leads), I want to give a shout-out to Samus and Maia from Summoner: A Goddess Reborn (a game I logged an indecent number of hours on). Though Samus doesn't really have much plot around her, both are very strong characters that endeared themselves far more effectively to me than a lot of men.

God I hate to do this to anyone, but you're just asking for it.Indigo_Dingo said:

I kind of liked Sheena in Tales of Symphonia. I found her nicely flawed and powerful all at once. Overcoming her demons to become Totally Awesome was good. And unless you were deliberately trying to set her up with Lloyd, no Obligatory Love Interest bullshit. Well, Zelos had a thing for her, but it was never serious between them.
I also think Midna was KICK. ASS. She was the reason to play that game.

Uh.. Cloud Strife.
(Yes I know hes a dude.)
Alex is good.
I liked Presea, the little girl with the pink hair from Tales of Symphonia.

I'm sorry but there's not even a competition when you bring Alyx Vance into the picture. She's "Tha Best" end of story.
But closely followed i think I'm gonna have to say is Xana from Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, that was like the best female support characters EVER (except for Alyx ofc)
This will probably get me ALOT of hate but still,
I liked all the female support characters in Mass Effect and actually felt there was NOT ENOUGH dialogue there (bring on the hate baby! ^^)
I would easily have wanted atleast 3-4 times as much personal dialogue(the conversations on the Normandy between each Main Story mision) in Mass Effect and maybe even a bit more still...
What? It help immersion!
And then there's alot of interesting support characters in Baldur's Gate II which i really liked. Just pick some female characters out of there, there's plenty of them. ^^
EDIT:
Oh and Cortana ofcourse. Like some people here already mentioned.

Ah, yes, yes she does.TomNook said:I will say this, she looks damn good in her electro-bikini.Eldritch Warlord said:Both and duringAboveUp said:
Plus, you kinda care about her.
Just a minor sidequest character but Mazoga the Orc, from Oblivion. I just did the quest the other day.
Basically she forces you into doing a quest through sheer force of personality.
And not only that she actually comes on the quest with you and doesn't just hang around with you then death charge off a cliff. No, she kicks bandit ass. I felt like the support character because for once she was the one with the quest, she was the one walking into danger. I was just there to lead her to some stupid rock and then sit back and watch her kill things. I took the opportunity to practice my marksmanship and headshot some bandits.
How great is that, for once someone in The Elder scrolls series actually tells you to hang back while THEY do the fighting. That never happens. They always want you to do the fighting for them.

While probably not giving the kind of female support you're thinking of, Kreia from KotOR 2 was awesome as a supporting character.
no... it is THE anime that relies on bright flashes and yelling over character development and identifiable situations.Indigo_Dingo said:
