Re: 27
Sadly, I haven't got time to play as much as I used to, and what I do play are RPGs. I can't actually recall anybody else like that.
I also haven't played any FF games before VI yet (though I have played all but XI since), but I've heard about Faris before.
Celes was a general, but secretly yearning to be something softer IIRC (though I might have her confused with somebody else - it's been a long time since I played).
Terra's only fierce aspects were those forced upon her - she was really a caring, loving person.
Tifa's highest hope when growing up was to be saved by a hero (while Cloud, who was the same age, wanted to be a hero). She also spent the game being Cloud's support rather than a terrorist.
Beatrix somewhat breaks the mold, and she still lost her head when she thought she had recieved a love letter, and Freya only became a knight because of her boyfriend.
Ashe is completely different I think (though I haven't finished the game yet, so I don't know); she pursues power for her own sake, to reclaim her kingdom, and isn't afraif to use it. She is nobody's support structure - the party is mainly there to support her, and generally she's got more in common with Square's othe male leads than their female.
Now, I'm not saying these characters are bad; they just have a mindset that puts them in the background and makes them passive. They don't make things happen, things happen to them, and their goals generally don't involve "selfish" things, like being at the top of your field or gaining power.
It's really all in the mindset. It's not always what a character does, but how and why.
These characters also aren't weak. No, that's not what I'm saying at all. Their sort of strenght though, is so overly represented in female characters that I'm starting to wonder if people truly believe that it's the only way a woman can be strong.
