Kirsten Bray: Fight Like a Girl

Fight Like a Girl

Kirsten Bray

I created this video game character to challenge female video game character stereotypes, which are explained to your left. Her name is Gladiatris Luminis and she has the ability to manipulate light. Her world has been covered in darkness and she is the only person able to save it and her people. I gave her more average body proportions, such as a wider waist and shorter legs. She is standing in an upright pose looking straight at the viewer to convey her fierceness. She is wearing a bodysuit covered in light armor so she can move swiftly on the battlefield with protection. Her armor has battle scars to show that she has fought before. I code to design a black character because it is a race that is underrepresented in video games. Most video game characters, male and female, are white and minorities are rarely main characters.
