    She's an A.I. so I would say no.

    but you referred to her as "her", technically that counts i guess :D

    Jill valentine...................what a woman!

    When I was playing these games as a kid, I would normally play the male character but usually due to the female character making the game easier to play I would end up putting aside my childish rule of no way am I playing as a girl! But the funny thing is that those female characters were much more interesting than the male equivalents. Jill Valentine was vastly more interesting compared to Chris Redfield who was just the standard 'action man' character. I would think that even though 'Berry' rescued her a lot, she was kind of like a Ripley character for a zombie apocalypse. Additionally, although I never played the sequels I prefer the first game over all as the mansion setting was very unique, the design of the mansion was amazing, I really like the occult/Lovecraftian undertones to it, it has a very old-world feel with the emblems that you use to unlock the door for example.

    Another great female character who again stood out as the best was Blaze in Streets of Rage. Again, initially she was easier to play with but she also was the most interesting character.

    Strong stats, but she got the short end of the stick in many ways.
    Sir Fratley is never gonna remember her properly, and she'll have to repopulate the Burmecian race.

    Didn't care for her as a character at all, or the guy Red.
    Maybe it's been so long since I played it...will have to revisit it.....saying that...I bought it on PSN...but get some stupid error on my PS3 when I try to play it....video format incompatible or something.
