Which Assassin's Creed game stars Aveline de Grandpré, the series' first female lead?

Assassin's Creed III: Liberation stars Aveline de Grandpré, the series' first female lead protagonist.

Liberation was released for the PlayStation Vita in 2012 and is set mainly in 18th-century New Orleans. Aveline is a mixed-race woman and an Assassin who fights Templar influence while navigating the social and political world of colonial Louisiana. Her story also reaches the nearby bayou and the Chichen Itza region.

Aveline has three disguises, each with different strengths and restrictions: an Assassin outfit, a lady outfit, and a servant outfit. This disguise system is central to the game's treatment of identity, class, and movement through society. Liberation was later remastered and included in other releases, but it was originally designed as a portable companion to Assassin's Creed III. Aveline is distinct from Evie Frye, who became the first female co-lead in a major console Assassin's Creed title.
