I'd agree with this.

While I can see some painting her as weak because for most of the game you're powerless prey, that's more a testament to the terrifying lethality of the xenomorph. Amanda uses her smarts rather than her muscles to stay alive and overcome the odds stacks against her, leveraging her hands-on mechanical skills to cobble together distractions and makeshift defenses. She's tenacious, resourceful, and believable.

She's a good example of how a character can be strong without being a destructive powerhouse.

Every family has at least one weird relative, and you have supplied us with Cortana's strange aunty.

Tifa Lockhart, Jill Valentine, Regina from Dino Crisis and Amanda Ripley. I think all of them are really strong women who go through A LOT and make it all the way to the end of their narratives like absolute badasses.

Thats Amanda Sir. 

Shes, Ellen 

Yikes. That is a terrible render.

Aerith from FF7
Leona from The King of Fighters.

A couple to add

1. Cortana 

2. Bonnie Macfarlane (Of Red Dead)

Edit: Little bit of a potential spoiler there. Not a big deal, but we're very cautious about those things.

Not strictly a gaming protagonist, but as far strong women in gaming go, but this came across my feed the other day and really stood out

Sonya Blade
