Lara Croft is represented as a powerful and iconic character as she is shown as the protagonist in the game however that tends to be a male characters role showing that this also subverts the know identification of a female character  .

Lara Croft also her strange features such as her sexualised body and the showing off the body parts and further more the tight clothes makes her largely attract male gamers as she may be seen as a attractive female character rather then a powerful feminist . This however shows that she may not be the best of role models as her skimpy clothes enforce the stereotype back to intended gaming audience which are males .

Kim Kardashian is another character we can analyse as her success may be aspiring for others who need direction on how to succeed . Her success is shown by her extravagant lifestyle and expensive taste of fashion by creating her game and also making the setting as the famous Hollywood city . This is large factor and point because this city is known for its lifestyle and celebrities therefore this shows that Kim is successful fashion shower . The game also allows you to create your own sense of fashion allowing yourself to be your own role model therefore giving a huge amount of determination and inspiration to yourself allowing yourself to be as successful as Kim Kardashian .

On the other side Kim Kardashian has other facts which may expose her true identity and path to success . Kim Kardashian also uses social life as a important step to becoming success therefore showing that people tend to be more dependent to society rather than themselves . This is important because this lowers someones self confidence as social life isn't the best society for others .
