It's rare to see a barbarian character that's not just a barbarian from a tribe and all that.

Ok, name one tough female barbarian or warrior we can have a romance with in any video game (who is not Cassandra Pentaghast).
If it's so rare to see female barbarians who don't act like barbarians and don't look like barbarians, surely there must be loads of women who are just stereotypical barbarians, righ?

Personally, I can only think of one woman, and she doesn't even meet both conditions.
(Amiri from pathfinder.)

I'm not thinking of barbarian women specifically, just barbarian characters in general. In any sort of rpg if a character has the barbarian class, they're almost certainly a barbarian in terms of culture as well. Holga from the D&D movie, Amiri, Grog and Yasha from Critical Role, barbarians are consistently culturally typecast in a way that most classes aren't. Speaking about warrior women in specific though you're very right, they're sparse on the ground. I agree with you on that point, but I disagree that Karlach fails to qualify. I've barely seen much of her and she's already honestly stuck herself firmly as my favorite companion. Also actually, Lae'zel is a romanceable warrior. Sure she's skinny, but she's an alien from a race who are all skinny and lanky, males and females.
