Samus Aran has got to be my ideal video game protagonist:

• is mostly a blank slate for the player to project themselves onto
• doesn’t talk
• looks like a hot human woman
• is actually a bioengineered living weapon who has fused with multiple eldritch entities to the point that even she doesn’t know what she is
• is beholden to no one and works completely alone
• always stoic and undaunted
• terrifies her enemies
• is unstoppable but in a way that’s high tech and femme and graceful all at once
