The Red Dead Redemption saga first began when Rockstar acquired Angel Studios, who was working on a title called Red Dead Revolver for Capcom at the time, as well as the rights to the IP. And while Rockstar's other franchises like Bully and Grand Theft Auto often focused entirely on the exploits of male characters, Red Dead Redemption has been a series where Rockstar has shown an ability to craft truly fascinating and memorable female characters. The criticism of Rockstar's female characters in other franchises has been well-earned, but the women of Red Dead have proven to be some true standouts in their long history.
