Appearances

Is there anything elaborating on what "additional voice work" refers to? Also, is Craden's work cited in an RS? Not an issue if not.
Sadly no, it was mostly overlooked in any discussion with articles focusing on McGowan's work alone.
Did some cleanup
Conception and design

It may be worthwhile to clarify what Cassidy's personality is
Fixed. Fixed the ref placement too.
I can probably assume why the marketing team was opposed to a WOC protagonist, but is there any verifiable info about why?
Sadly not that I was able to find.
"Her legs have metal plates on her knees and boots, spurs on her ankles" Are the metal plates on her knees and ankle spurs part of her body?
Clarified that these are on her clothes.
Is the motion-capture artist particularly good at kicking?
It's never mentioned, just that kicking was added to make her different and due to the motion capture actress doing so well.
Is there a need to clarify "villainess"?
Not sure about this one, removed the quotes around evolve though. I don't think it needs to be wikilinked.
Did some cleanup
Promotion and reception

Consider a way to attach TheGamer source to more directly and immediately verify the claim that these are promotional
Done.
I feel like some parts of this section could be placed in the below section, unless you're fairly strict about analysis being a "deeper analysis"
I'd rather keep them separate because there's bits that work discussing more about the race and representation in the game's story (it's still weird that this one character got more discussion than so many in that regard I'll be honest), and the sexualization which revolves a good bit around the whole Playboy thing.
Did some cleanup
Analysis of racial themes

"Additionally, where Tala's story illustrating her desire of power as more deserving, when she achieves it she strictly continues Lazarus' agenda, where by contrast Jericho is able to choose his own destiny as either a free man or a conqueror." Should split this sentence, as it is a bit long in the tooth. The first half of it is also a little confusing what it means.
Rewrote this and the following sentence to be clearer.
Did some cleanup
