Terra and Samus are good ones as well. FFVI had a great cast of characters, including the most amusing thie- I mean, Treasure Hunter, ever.
Who's your favourite female video game character?

- Start date
I cant believe nobody has mentioned the chick (God, I cant even remember her name) from the original Far Cry. Crytek did an awful, half-assed job at making an attractive heroine for the player to lust for.
"Hmm, this scene calls for plot explanation. I better strip down to my bikini and wash myself here in this waterfall."
Although the voice acting was top notch; who could forget memorable lines such as:
"I'M GOING TO SHOOT YOU... IN THE FACE!"
"SUCK IT DOWN!"
"BITE MY ASS!"
Mmm, such were the days of 2004.

April Ryan (The Longest Journey) - The most down to earth and real female character ever, imo.
Shiki Misaki (The World Ends With You) - She's really cool, plus her backstory is pretty darn interesting.
Tifa Lockhart (Final Fantasy VII) - Tifa just oozes charm.
Rinoa Heartley (Final Fantasy VIII) - She's a very playful character and I found her charming.
Yukari Takeba (Persona 3) - Yukari felt very genuine to me, and her banter with Junpei is priceless.

Totally a broken record, being half my posts involve these names:
Bastila and Exile. Two hottest jedi's of the old order. Also two of the most deadly.

Bridget....... Oh wait.... Nevermind..... -goes in corner and questions masculinity-
But seriously,

Virginia Maxwell gets my vote, she's a great character because she's extremely flawed, fails at everything for a while because she is childish, she then matures then actually becomes capable of doing things, says a few cheesy lines, shoots stuff with her pistols, then gets the crap beaten out of her by a demon, but that's besides the point. She's a well built character compared to most these days, even if a bit annoying in personality at times.
And the only reason I didn't vote for Alyx is to spite her, because in HL2E1, I hated having to push a car in the way of the ant lions to turn the cranks, while Alyx just shot at them pointlessly with her pistol, when I could've taken my gravity gun and juggled them while she opened the damn door, the only thing I hated in the game xD
And Chell is (most likely) a human, remember in Portal, GLaDOS says. "The regularly scheduled test chamber was not available." Which was most likely a lie, but she used it an excuse for turrets.

Alyx Vance from Half-Life 2
Not a big boobed clueless bimbo, has a personality that stands out, and I get very attached to her character while playing.
Thats whats so great about HL2 and its episodes as well, it succeeds at bringing me emotionally attached to all the characters more than any other video game i've ever played.

Kreia from Kotor 2. One of the most compelling and fascinating characters in years.
Lenneth from Valkyrie Profile. All hail the goddess.

Well, according to the background of Portal, she was the young daughter of one of Aperture Science's Technicians.cainbrain post=9.70852.706792 said:

KOS-MOS from the Xenosaga series is one of my favorites, followed by Aerith, Tira, and the first Club owner from Bloodlines.
Could you call a character who is a computer but happens to have a female voice a female character? AI and machines are neutral/genderless and thus are neither male or female regardless of apperance or voice (this would also mean that Cortana from Halo isn't a female character either since she/it is a hologram/AI program).Bane07 post=9.70852.706954 said:
Tifa Lockhart from FFVII, Miranda Keyes from Halo 2, Gaia from God of War 2, or GLaDOS from Portal.
I'm sure all the ladies love you. ¬¬HalfShadow post=9.70852.705881 said:
My favourite is either Samus Aran or Heather Mason. Samus for her ability to kick anythings ass, regardless of being corrupted with an otherwise poisonous substance, BEING ON FIRE, having a parasite suck her brain fluid out, BEING ON FIRE, walking through a literally corrosive atmosphere, fleeing marauding creatures with scythes for arms or- lets face it, the best deterrent ever- BEING ON FIRE.
Heather Mason for that part where you walk into a bathroom and interact with the toilet. A little message comes up asking if you want to leave it alone, or stick your hand in. Should you choose the latter, Heather will begin to reach forward, before stopping, turning towards the player and saying "Ugh, God! What kind of sick person DOES that!?"
That and her apparent indifference to bleeding decapitated mannequins wins her second place.
I like Branwyn form Bladestorm, I just love her accent.
Also Shakti from the same game, for her version of the saying "When you get to Hell tell them I sent you".
She says "When you arrive in the afterlife, be sure to inform them of who dispatched you there" in her Indian accent.
For some reason that just tickles me every time I hear it.
I also have a soft-spot for Tali in Mass Effect.
Also, does Shub-Niggurath from Quake count? She's female, just not a very attractive one.
