Trope

Tropes are often seen in any form of media. Although we will be focusing more about the tropes in video games, the overall idea is the same. Tropes in video games or in general are simply put as figures that are attached or portrayed with a common appearance, style, language, voice used throughout a long period of time. There are many types of trope that take place within games, such as the comedic characters or the female characters.

Female Character Tropes
Some brief female character tropes found in games are; the iconic damsel in distress and overall the female style being accustomed to wearing pink or girlish accessories such as princess peach in Mario or having the commonly used ribbon to identify the character as a being a girl such as Ms. PACMAN from the PACMAN series.
