Ye Olde List of Female Heroes and Villains

[Kurgan]

Inspired by another character thread, here are the female characters present in Classic Hero Quest ('89-'92), (I have not read the novels so I can't speak for them). If I am missing any, please feel free to add to this list (published quests?) !

Return of the Witch Lord: [1989]

Kessandria, the Witch Queen


Japanese Game System: [1991]

Princess Miku

It's also worth pointing out that although Hero Quest's world is only "loosely" based upon the Warhammer world, in that latter world's lore, the Fimir who use magic tend to be female, and since there are magic-using Fimirs (for example in Kellar's Keep) these might be female (despite being called "it" in the quest notes).



Mage of the Mirror (EQP): [1992]

female Elf (Hero)
Sinestra (elven archmage)
Princess Millandriell (uses tile)
Queen Terrellia's Attendants (unclear what is used to represent them)

The Frozen Horror (BQP): [1992]

female Barbarian (Hero)

Published Quests: [Dates ??]

Rescue of the Princess:
Gwendoline, the Princess

Inn of Chaos:
Inn Keeper's Wife and daughter (undead)

The Slave City:
city wives

Hero Quest II: Legacy of Sorasill (PC Game) [1994]

Celeste (Mystic Hero)
Calorflame (Cleric Hero)

[Daedalus]

Since you added a question mark after "published quests", I'm gonna bring up Mildred the Orc wife from The Monstrous Regiment article of the HeroQuest: A Marvel Winter Special. "Oo are you callin' a chap?"
