The Top Ten
1 Samus Aran (Metroid) Samus Aran is the protagonist of the science fiction action-adventure game series Metroid by Nintendo. A galactic bounty hunter, Samus is usually equipped with her Power Suit, giving her access to weapons she uses to battle her enemies.

Yeah I didn't know until Smash Bros Brawl campaign.

I used to think she was a guy befor I saw she had breasts under her suit

2 Bayonetta (Bayonetta) Bayonetta, real name Cereza, is a fictional character and protagonist of the video game Bayonetta and its sequel, developed by PlatinumGames and published by Sega and Nintendo respectively.

She took down monsters that could have squashed her like a bug! How much more badass can she get than that?

She also killed god

3 Daisy (Super Mario) Princess Daisy is a fictional character in the Mario series of video games, in which she is the princess of the fictional region of Sarasaland.
4 Jill Valentine (Resident Evil) Jill Valentine is a fictional character from the Resident Evil series first appearing in the first Resident Evil game in 1996 as one of the two playable characters, she would also go on to star in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.

She is really good.

5 Faith Connors (Mirror's Edge)
6 Chell (Portal)

Destroying an all-powerful AI to save yourself from an underground science laboratory only armed with a gun that makes portals (no bullets) all without having to say a word and keeping your clothes on which is (sadly) rare for female video game characters. Chell is the best!

7 Lightning (Final Fantasy)
8 Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) Lara Croft is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Square Enix video game franchise Tomb Raider.

She actually completed went through an entire island killing crazy fanatics armed with guns with only a BOW AND ARROW! Not to mention thst just hours ago, she was impaled by a rusty metal rod though the abdomen. She deserves a spot at least in the top 3.

The first games on the PlayStation are my favorite games ever and even the newest ones are really good and Lara is a badass.

9 Ellie (The Last of Us) Ellie is the deuteragonist of The Last of Us, the playable protagonist of The Last of Us Part II and The Last of Us: Left Behind, and the main character in The Last of Us: American Dreams.

Should be top five at the least!
