The anti-hero is an increasingly popular character archetype that has been expanding in recent video games. To put it simply, these are the main characters in the story but lack the basic qualities and attributes of a hero, similar to the case of Deadpool. And the world gaming industry also has many “women” who have been very successful in such roles.
Lae'zel in Baldur's Gate 3
Baldur's Gate 3 is the best game of 2023 and its character building plays a very important role. The most prominent one is Lae'zel. When players first encounter Lae'zel on the nautiloid in Baldur's Gate 3, they will have a sword held to their neck. Lae'zel may come across as rude and violent, but that comes from her devotion as a Githyanki warrior, one desperate to prove herself to queen Vlaakith.
Lae'zel herself always has the guise of a mean, selfish person, but in reality, she is very diligent in caring for and saving innocent people.
Yennefer in The Witcher
No need to play games, if you just watch The Witcher on Netflix, many people will surely understand the complexity of Yennefer. As a witch, Yennefer refuses to conform to the stereotypes of a conventional witch.
She herself has also done many jobs outside the moral framework just to keep herself alive and protect Ciri based on her complicated relationship with Geralt.
Ellie Williams in The Last of Us Part 2
The Last of Us Part 2 has been so successful in building an extremely attractive story, and the most prominent one is Ellie. Ellie has never had an easy life and discovering she is humanity's only chance at curing the Cordycepts virus has caused the world to fall into the post-apocalyptic era as it is now.
Ellie's journey in The Last of Us Part 2 is full of revenge and actions that make it difficult to sympathize with countless victims. But in the end, at the end we understand that it was all because fate forced her to make that choice.
