In The End She Isn't A Princess Or A Rebel Or A False Saint Or A Pawn - Tumblr Posts

1st of a series of video game ladies that are personally significant to me, as a woman who plays video games.

So of course the first one I did had to be Ashe. Ashe is the fine line between righteous vengeance and power-driven vigilante... in a pink mini-skirt. She's a contrast to a lot of other characters from the Ivalice games - someone who builds their own happy ending, on their own terms, without selling their soul to do it. But never does that seem like it's a given, either.

FFXII has a lot of important dudes, but one thing about it that always stood out to me is that Ashe's choice is really the fundamental choice of the whole game. Her decision in the end is the climax and the crux of the entire story.
