I find it funny that, to my knowledge, Laura is the only one to fulfill the concept. She starred in 3 games as 3 different characters in 2 separate series.
She even predates Lara Croft if you want to count her various commercial appearances as being an actress.

Kid Dracula backwards @alucardx60.bsky.social · 3d

I prefer the REAL first digital actress 😤
