One of the most enigmatic members of Foxhound, Sniper Wolf makes for a constant thorn in yours' and Snake's side throughout Metal Gear Solid, responsible for the one of the most heart-wrenching moments in the entire game.

Like many bosses in the MGS series, Sniper Wolf's is exciting and challenging. Though future sniper bosses like The End would ramp things up with an exciting game of cat-and-mouse, the duels between Snake and Wolf feel all the more epic thanks to a battle of simple finesse and skill. It's pulse-pounding excitement to see who spots who first, and damage trade-off is hefty. Outside forces like Snake needing to steady himself with Pentazemin also adds a nice layer to the fight. The stakes on the line gives the battles weight making victory satisfying.

And yet, despite Wolf's antagonistic intentions and doings, her ultimate defeat is one of the saddest goodbyes in the series. Next to Ocelot, Sniper Wolf is the most deeply-layered member of Foxhound, developing an unlikely relationship with resident geek Otacon. Of course, it crosses over into Stockholm Syndrome (which Snake mentions), and you can definitely interpret it that way, but I think that makes it all the more interesting. Maybe love can bloom on the battlefield. She lets him feed her wolves and even gives Otacon her handkerchief. And Otacon is deeply broken by her death which does influence his character later in the series.

Whether you love Sniper Wolf for her great boss fights or the character dynamics with both Snake and especially Otacon, there's no denying there was a lot of care put into her personality and it shines through whenever she graces the screen.
