This makes sense, however its pretty well-established that heroic characters fight the animals rather than hunt them. Hercules wrestles some legendary lion in one of his labours, King Ashurbanipal kills a lion with a spear from a charging horse cavalry-style, Saint George fights the dragon in plate armor from horseback. The game is meant to be action-oriented, not medieval version of Deer Hunter - that would make most players fall asleep ;-) |
Would she also have to fight human bad guys ? Bandits, rival hunters, run into the occasional marauding horde pillaging an innocent village or peasant cottage and feel the need to fight them off ?
Being attractive she would also better be well armed and armoured if travelling alone in dark places and face various challenges in addition to hunting monster animals.
Since this is fantasy you have a lot of possibilities as far as culture is concerned and a woman warrior/huntress might be on the fringes of acceptable social behaviour. ;) In parts of Europe at certain times she might risk being burned as a witch or be disrespected or assumed to be a prostitute or of low moral character. She might have to fight to teach lessons to those assuming that she would be easy prey or easily bullied.
Adding some of these elements might be interesting plot points or back story to consider.
