There has been a lot of hub-bub about the color of Mass Effect three's Female Shepperd's hair color. The first box art was a blonde, a smoking hot blonde, but after an outrageous uproar over how "misogynistic" it was...she has been officially changed to a redhead. I am a brunette people but blondes have it bad enough I think it's time we lay the hair color thing to rest. Here are just a few of the Female leads I remembered off the top of my head from video games:
Faith from Mirror's Edge.
Chun-Li from streetfighter 2
Laura Croft from Tomb raider
Ella from uncharted 2
Hildeguard Von Krone
Alyx from Half Life 2
Jill Valentine from Resident Evil
Princess Zelda from Zelda
Notice anything?
Yes, it seems one out of these many influential and notable female video game characters is blonde. And they didn't even make her a sexy blonde. She was awesome no doubt but not bad-ass or over sexualized. It seems blondes are having more fun but us dark haired girls are kicking way more ass. Besides the occasionally off shade of blonde from Final Fantasy Girls, Princess Peach, or some Dead or Alive girls there aren't any blonde bad-ass bitches. Come on people...let the cover art for ME3 be a blondie. We dark haired girls are indeed bad-ass...but we seem to really be hogging the Video game spotlight.
Also Sonya is the only Blonde girl in the Mortal Kombat universe.
