Laura Croft voted most iconic VG character in Bafta awards!

Board 8

"What is so iconic about Lara Croft is the fact that she is [a] female lead in a video game," she says.

"She's all about girl power and female empowerment. She's at the forefront, she is what the adventure is."

And then Samus is nowhere to be seen lol. Heck, I'd take Aloy or Chelle.
It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.
