Here's What 10 Female Video Game Characters Would Look Like In Real Life
These ladies are killing it.
1. Lara Croft, the Tomb Raider series
This is the best Lara Croft I've ever seen, and there are a whole lot of people dressing up as Lara Croft out there. Croft is one of the most enduring and iconic video game characters of all time, and she's an especially strong and badass representation of female game characters. This cosplay was done by Eve Beauregard, who's got a real talent for authentically representing all kinds of characters.
2. Anya Stroud, "Gears of War 3"
Anya Stroud was the first playable female character in the Gears of War franchise, showing up in "Gears of War 3." She's known for being an intimidating, badass female character.
3. Faith Connors, "Mirror's Edge"
Faith Connors is the star of "Mirror's Edge," a parkour video game set in a dystopian future city masquerading as a utopia.
4. Chell, "Portal"
Except for a few brief reflection glances, you don't get much of a chance to see Chell, the protagonist and first-person playable character in "Portal" and "Portal 2." However, I get a feeling this is exactly what she'd look like.
5. Chun-Li, the Street Fighter series
Her kicking is so perfect, you might actually think you're playing "Street Fighter" for a second. This is absolutely perfect.
6. Princess Zelda, "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess"
7. Cortana, the Halo series
This is a tough one to pull off, since Cortana is mostly a holographic/voice character - but she totally nailed it. Cortana is the familiar voice that follows Master Chief through the Halo franchise.
8. Samus Aran, the Metroid Prime series
Strangely enough, many people don't realize Samus Aran is a female character, but she most certainly is and she most certainly is a badass. This Samus costume is 3D printed and it's absolutely perfect.
9. Elizabeth, "Bioshock Infinite"
Elizabeth is a fascinating game character from one of the most emotionally riveting, intellectually stimulating and highly rated games of all time. She's basically like a movie character, and that's awesome.
10. Kitana, the Mortal Kombat series
Kitana is a terrifying and awesome, but most importantly this cosplay is super original. Bravo.
