This work aims to analyze the existence of the tragic heroine in the game Valkyrie Profile. For that, some points need to be marked, such as the characteristics of a heroine, what characterizes the tragedy, and how these two elements are presented in the game. More than that, to ensure that the characters analyzed are well constructed, their depth and development are considered, as there is a problem with the feminine in games, which sometimes reduce these characters to a sexualized and superficial persona. Thus, the methodology considers characteristics that will be analyzed in the characters to verify the tragic heroine archetype. The selected characters are Aelia, Jayle, Jelanda, Lorenta, Lyseria, Mystina, Nanami, Shiho, Yumei, and Lenneth. They fit as round characters and have a well-structured narrative, like heroin or virgin, in addition to experiencing the tragedy from the perspective of the tragic situation, the tragic conflict, or the tightly tragic world view. They have similar characteristics, however, they also have particularities regarding the relationship with the tragic.
