4. This "Lady" made her debut in the promotional trailer of game X released in
2021. Despite only appearing for a few seconds, this giant lady set the
internet on fire as soon as she appeared, spawning many memes and also
many game mods. Most of which were not very decent, to put it mildly.
In the game, she is designed to be a "bewitching vampire" who stays in a
grand castle. Although she looks like a fair and tall lady, her actual form is
that of a grotesque monster.
The plot of X (briefly) is of a Father trying to retrieve his infant daughter who
was taken forcibly from him.
Name X and the “Lady” in question.

struggling the most. X then came up with an idea to release Xbox Games. 3 such games
were released.
The one in consideration is called Y. Y is a Spy-Action game in which the player is
dressed in royal attire (just like the company mascot) and the aim was to sneak
around and surprise people with the company's iconic product.
This game was rolled out in the stores for $4 and also was included in their Value Meals.
Surprisingly, this was a huge success owing to a 40% increase in quarterly sales for the
company. The name Y is an amalgam of the company's name and a word used
