The character for this week is:

Samus Aran

The right woman in the right place for the wrong reasons. When Samus was a child, her family was killed on a Space Pirate raid on the colony they lived in. Luckily she was found by group of Chozo, a wise and friendly alien race, who brought the orphan on their planet Zebes, where she received her training and her Power Suit. Samus swore an oath olf revenge against all Space Pirates, which would lead her to become one of the most revered bounty hunter of the galaxy, devoted to freeing the universe of the pirate menace. Little does she know that this quest will pit her against some of the fiercest aliens in existence, to border the undoing of her own will, and eventually saving the galaxy.

Games: Metroid (series), Metroid Prime (series)

Trivia: Samus was originally intended to be a man, but developers decided she would be a woman after deciding to loosely model her after Ellen Ripley from the Alien movies. Strangely enough, one of the main villains in the series is called Ridley.
