        abstract = {Female characters in films or video games especially Middle Eastern one are often sexualized and misportrayed. This Call of Duty: Modern Warfare video game is defying the trend by portraying a strong and masculine middle eastern female character. This research focuses on the portrayal, shaping, and the implication of masculinity of Farah Karim. This research uses qualitative method and Female Masculinity theory by Judith Halberstam. This research also uses Film Theory by Amy Villarejo to understand the scenes. This research aims to reveal the portrayal of Farah Karim?s masculinity. This research reveals that Farah?s masculinity was shaped because of violence she had since she was a child. She lost her parents because of war, was imprisoned and tortured for 10 years, and experienced wars since child. The image of masculinity of Farah Karim can be seen from the way she dresses, being powerful, her ability to hide emotions, and enrolling in the military. Farah?s masculinity was implicated in the video games to change the perception of women in general and particularly middle eastern women in video games.}
