[Kairos]

She doesn't look like she needs to be treated like a precious gem, she looks like she's a hardcore fighter who is going through some serious shit. Just like any other game of the same nature.

that doesn't make her a good character

you know what wants me to protect that character I'm playing as, male or female?

being a likable character

making them gritty and realistic, covered in dirt and grime, and almost raped and murdered doesn't make want to play or protect them as much as a well written and designed character.

I'm not saying this new Laura is good or bad. But the "Oh she's been through rough shit and now she's empowered" thing is an old ass trope and doesn't make her a "good female character" because of it.
