(According to an article made last year there have only ever 13 playable female characters. The list doesn't include fighting game characters for reasons I don't agree with. As such, I have decided to put a spotlight on 14 of these characters, to see what is being dismissed here. There are MORE than that, but I admit, not MUCH more.)
Amanda
Game
Strip Fighter 2, 4
Bio
There are no Bios I could read in Strip Fighter. From what we can tell she's a pro-wrestler from Brazil.
How Black is she?
Well, her Character Select Portrait portrays her as being very black, but her ingame sprites and cover art betray the idea. She's also definitively not black in Strip Fighter 4, which might not even be a "real" Strip Fighter game because they keep straight up ripping characters from other games all willy nilly.
Prominence
Strip Fighter is an obscure mail in porn game for the PC Engine, known for being super bad, and Amanda is the GRAPPLER in that. Nope, not a lot of prominence, there.
Fight
Not a lot of Amanda action around. Huh. Hoping this will get you covered. NSFW probably
Flaws
This is Strip Fighter, and Amanda has an attack where she hits you with her enormous breasts. I think everyone can make their choices from that point and move on.
Pros
If playable "Black and Female" is rare in gaming, playable "Female and Fat" is ULTRA Rare,. And despite the fact they didn't have to because this is a stupid smut game, Strip Fighter 2 got there before Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Virtua Fighter, Star Gladiator, Dead or Alive, Soul Calibur, Tekken, King of Fighters, World Heroes, Psychic Force, Smash Brothers, Darkstalkers, Battle Arena Toshinden...
Hell, pretty much only Playstation Battle Royal and Clayfighter got there at all, and I don't want to be the asshole who says "Ya see, you ARE represented...by a stereotypical opera fat lady and a character with "Fat" in her name." But, tittilation aside, Amanda's as good as it gets, so far.
