Legitimately, how else would you say this? "Woman characters" clearly sounds wrong, "characters who are women" sounds unnecessarily long and clunky.

I'd just say "women". characters is redundant when you specify it's in a game.

Broads, dames, birds, etc. Just anything a film noir detective would say
