In 1879 the marriage ended, causing hardships to both mother and daughter, who later migrated to Banaras in 1881, with a Muslim nobleman, 'Khursheed', who appreciated Victoria's music more than her husband.

4. X was declared as the first playable human female character

in mainstream videogame by the Guinness Book of World Records Gamers’ Edition in 2013.

GameDaily identified X as the first dominant female, a femme de force who didn’t rely on a male to help her. Many gaming lists have identified her as a badass lady who made other female action stars possible.

X is widely known to use her powered exoskeleton equipped with energy missiles to render services as an intergalactic bounty hunter.

Throughout the series, X executes missions given to her by the Galactic Federation while hunting the antagonistic Space Pirates and their leader Ridley along with the parasitic energy-draining organisms called Metroids.

The reveal of this warrior, X in 1986, well-disguised under the high-powered suit as female in the original series is revealed to be a truly jaw-dropping moment in the history of gaming.

 Whether you see her as a breakthrough for feminism or just another faceless sci-fi warrior, 1986's unexpected reveal that showed women could be more in gaming lore than eye candy for geeky boys was a refreshing and unforgettable moment.

X identified themselves as gang members though having brightly dyed or premed hair, and by wearing school uniforms that they'd altered, by rolling up their sleeve, lengthening their skirts covered in gang affiliated symbols and slogans.
