** In the VideoGameRemake ''VideoGame/MetroidZeroMission,'' after escaping Mother Brain's explosion and [[spoiler:getting shot down by space pirates]], Samus spends a rather short time in her skintight [[SpyCatsuit Zero Suit]], doing a lot of crawling around. Zero Suit Samus would become a fighter in the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series starting with "Brawl", where she uses a ''lot'' of SheFu, as well as a [[WhipItGood laser whip]]. And she'd only become more attractive in later entries.

Sexy Walk was renamed/retooled into Supermodel Strut by TRS.


Games with main characters of this type will often incorporate [[SheFu jumping and flipping acrobatics]], LeParkour, and possibly BuxomBeautyStandard figures with JigglePhysics. This can be somewhat pointless, as the parts that jiggle are usually not visible in the default camera view.

* Lara Croft of ''Franchise/TombRaider'', and all its sequels, is the TropeCodifier with her infamous bustline. This was [[ExaggeratedTrope played up more and more]] with each sequel until ''VideoGame/TombRaiderLegend,'' a ContinuityReboot in which her proportions took a downgrade to "normal but athletic." And while the reboot makes her proportions more sane, her ''clothes'' are still oftentimes overly skimpy. Lara got another alteration to her model as soon as ''VideoGame/TombRaiderUnderworld'' came out. Whilst she was still fairly realistic, her boobs had definitely gotten a little bit larger. Which seems odd considering it's supposed to take place immediately after ''Tomb Raider: Legend'', which first introduced her more modest figure. The second reboot which turns the series into survival-adventure, once again puts her back to a more realistic set. Creator/ConanOBrien's [[http://teamcoco.com/video/clueless-gamer-conan-obrien-reviews-tomb-raider "review" of the second reboot]] hangs a massive Lampshade on her Third Person Seductress qualities.

* The Witch Elves in ''VideoGame/WarhammerOnline''.

Just staying true to the TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} universe, of course. They at least ''try'' to justify it in-universe: they don't wear bulky, heavy armor because their fighting style is based on [[FragileSpeedster running and jumping around while stabbing things]]; the large amount of skin (along with spells/pheromones) can be [[DistractedByTheSexy disarming to their enemies]]; and finally the only reason their entire society is devoted to [[WarGod Khaine]] instead of [[SenseFreak Slaanesh]] is that Khaine is at least conducive to a well-functioning military. Not to mention the fact that they literally [[BloodBath bathe in blood]] as part of [[ImmortalityImmorality a magic ritual to maintain their youth]]. The more of it they can [[BloodSplatteredWarrior get on their bare flesh in battle]], the better. Of course, this is more "the creators explaining the solutions" rather than "the characters solving problems."

Lightning is the sole playable character and has the capability to wear various costumes, including one based on [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud's SOLDIER outfit]]. WordOfGod has admitted to giving Lightning a FanservicePack in this installment for whatever reason.
** Even before ''FFVII'', female protagonists tended to be rather skimpily clad, but since they were also tiny SD pixels, no one noticed. The standard outfit for a SNES-era FF heroine was a one-piece bathing suit and some shoulder armor (e.g. Rosa, Celes).
** The future DS remakes and the CG artwork make this more obvious.

Note also that a Third Person Seductress does not guarantee the success of a game; many of the examples below sold poorly and are the [[IncrediblyLamePun butt]] of much snark concerning their protagonists when it's perceived that the developers were [[SexSells banking primarily on sex appeal to sell their product]]. Characters of this nature in multiplayer games can also become unpopular due to perceptions that unskilled players pick them for fanservice, rather than because they can play them effectively. On the other hand, there are entire [[GameMod modding]] communities dedicated to making characters like these even ''[[VideoGamePerversityPotential more]]'' fanservice-y with custom skins, so it's unlikely to die out anytime soon.

* Lara Croft of ''Franchise/TombRaider'', and all its sequels, is the TropeCodifier with her infamous bustline. This was [[ExaggeratedTrope played up more and more]] with each sequel until ''VideoGame/TombRaiderLegend,'' a ContinuityReboot in which her proportions took a downgrade to "normal but athletic." And while the reboot makes her proportions more sane, her ''clothes'' are still oftentimes overly skimpy. Lara got another alteration to her model as soon as ''VideoGame/TombRaiderUnderworld'' came out. Whilst she was still fairly realistic, her boobs had definitely gotten a little bit larger. Which seems odd considering it's supposed to take place immediately after ''Tomb Raider: Legend'', which first introduced her more modest figure. The second reboot which turns the series into survival-adventure, once again puts her back to a more realistic set. Creator/ConanOBrien's [[http://teamcoco.com/video/clueless-gamer-conan-obrien-reviews-tomb-raider "review" of the second reboot]] hangs a a massive Lampshade on her Third Person Seductress qualities.
