Ada Lovelace Day

azuriteI've just found out about and pledged to be a part of Ada Lovelace Day on http://findingada.com.
I've decided that for my technology & women-related post, I'd like to talk about video game heroines. So, to all you video gamers out there: who are your favorite female characters in any video or computer game, ever?
That can be Lulu from Final Fantasy X, Catherine from the Myst series, or even Flo from Diner Dash! Name her, the game, and why you like her, and I'll do a collective post featuring these lovely ladies and then some on Ada Lovelace Day.
Not enough female game characters (or the women that play them!) get attention in today's world, and I hope I can contribute a little to ALD by posting something like this. So help out, join in, and pledge yourself! It can be a blog post, art, a musical composition, a YouTube video...anything!

Actually, Blizzard usually does women pretty well; the female race models in WoW are a good testament to that, IMO, both in range of body-types and in the stunning lack of "chain-mail bikini" armour models.
One of the reasons I'm such a big Blizzard fangirl. :P
