I'm really surprised nobody has been mentioning any Killer Instinct characters.
Orchid would make a great addition!

Sakurai has given you the task to select 5 characters for Fighter Pass #2. The theme? Female Gaming Icons from "Different Worlds."

Going to ignore the last rule because I don't know all the spirits and sifting through a database is uninteresting.
The ones I highlighted are my personal preference.
Lara Croft or Aerith
Kerrigan or Sylvanis
Naga Siren or Irelia the Blade Dancer
Sims female or Glitched Sims character (we have wii fit trainer and this would be way better)
Eliza from Skullgirls or Celeste or Hornet from Hollowknight (a thread wielder instead of another nail user is sorely overdue)
Hisako is legit one of the best new characters to come out this decade. I personally wasn't a fan of including Killer Instinct characters on my list.

Carmen Sandiego (Carmen Sandiego)
Carmen is an industry icon, and has been a popular character for a long, long, long time. She's recently been revitalized and remade for a new audience. It's an extremely long shot, and I think there's no chance in hell it's happening. But here we are.
I'm actually embarrassed when I tried to think of iconic character that predated the 90s I could only think of Ms Pacman.
I'm totally on board for Carmen.
1. Shantae
2. Amaterasu
3. Aloy
4. Sheva Alomar (if I had my way; we all know it would be Jill)
5. Lara Croft

Tbh I hope the next DLC packs focus more on actual Nintendo franchises. The crossovers have been fun but they've gone a bit overboard IMO.
1. Agumon/Wargreymon (Bandai Namco)
2. Either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine (Capcom)
3. Heihachi (Bandai Namco)

Whoops misread the thread.
Nina Williams or Lili, Lillymon and Shantae
Terra (Final Fantasy VI)
Sophitia (Soulcalibur)
Arle (Puyo Puyo)
Jill Valentine (Resident Evil)
Estelle Bright (Trails)
Shamelessly stole the Arle idea from this thread because it's great. There are also a lot of good Nintendo choices for this, too (Arms, Three Houses, and Xenoblade 2 have some obvious choices here). Hopefully they're willing to pick some Nintendo characters for the DLC after this Fighters Pass.

Sorry OP, can't stop dreaming about Master Chief's inclusion to suggest some female fighters.
I think what's most obnoxious is how easily some of the characters could have alternate female forms in the same vein as Corrin (whose default really should be female). Pac-man, DQIV hero, Ness/Lucas (Paula/Kumatora), and hopefully Terry to name a few

I don't know if they have stickers , spirits or whatever since I don't have the game but here's five female characters I would love to include in the smash bros ultimate roster
1. Shantae
2. Shiki (The World Ends With You)
3. Kasumi (Dead or Alive)
4. Etna (Disgaea)
5. Katt (Breath of Fire II)

1. Chun-li. Yeah, street fighter is already represented, but she´s like THE female fighting game character.
2. 2B. You cannot have too much 2B in your life. Close up her skirt part so you can´t see the leotard all the time and she´s good.
3. Lightning. Was gonna say Tifa, but Cloud´s already in it and she must not be forgotten.
4. Tracer. I can see her working in Smash.
5. Dixie Kong. Got some Kongs already, throw her in too.
Would be my list. I don´t know which of these already have spirits and i don´t think Sakurai would sit at his desk, think of a character to include, be excited, start dialing nintendo but stop because he remembered there´s a spirit in the game already.
Don´t think Lara Croft, Shepard, Ellie and characters like those would work. They´re a bit too "real". You know what i mean? Like, the games try to portray those characters as actual people, while most of the smash characters are either cartoonish, over top, anime-ish, or mascots. I dunno, just the vibe im getting.

Jill Valentine from Resident Evil
Kasumi from Dead or Alive
2B from Nier Automata
Not gonna lie I really had to rack my brain, there are so few prominent games made in Japan with women in starring roles that haven't been covered already. Lara Croft is the only female protagonist from a Western game that has a shot at getting in I think, but even then dual pistols are integral to her ability-set. I know Joker has broken this trend of "no realistic guns" but he doesn't have his visible all the time so I dunno where the line for that is.

Anyone but Layla pls. I just played through the Fate of Atlantis DLC andI m
Layla Hassan from Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey
She is the new modern day face of the franchise and her gameplay could be her switching "styles" based on Bayek, Aya and Kassandra/Alexios. Hell, make her something like the Dragon Quest hero and give her Aya and/or Kassandra skins.
they make her an irredeemable asshole.
Chun-Li & Dixie are the spirits of your list. But yeah, I'm not sure if they'd be a huge deal in the next batch.
1. Orchid (Killer Instinct)

Pretty much all of her designs are fucking objectifying trash. I'd rather Smash had as little of that shit as possible.
First Party: Twintelle (ARMS)
Reasoning: Extremely popular character from recent first party fighting game franchise, More unique fighting style sets her apart from other people on her game meaning a second ARMS rep after her would not be just an Echo.
Indie: Susie (Undertale/Deltarune franchise)
Reasoning: Toby fox has a foot in smash now, even having an icon for his franchise in the game, Susie is a playable character in Deltarune and unlike the other playable characters in the franchise, she is a fighty character with moves potential.
Capcom: Monster Hunter (MH franchise, but based on her MVCI moveset)
Reasoning: Monster Hunter is already represented on smash with Rathalos, so the next logical step is a playable character, this also would be the Japan hype character, you'd only have to port her MVCI moves into smash, wouldn't be very hard to be honest.
Namco: Sophitia (Soul Calibur)
Reasoning: Let's keep on the theme of fighting games getting representation in smash, Street Fighter and Fatal Fury have characters, Virtua fighter has an assist trophy, Tekken has a costume, so let's get a Soulcalibur rep in the game, Sophitia is pretty much one of the most iconic fighters in the game that aren't popular for being ridiculously over sexualized.
Wild Card: Mary O. (Super Mario Maker)
Reasoning: Sakurai has shown us that there is no limit to what he's gonna include in the game, and much like Piranha plant, this is a character nobody would ever guess, have her fight alongside Yamamura and undo dog and have a moveset based around putting blocks and Mario enemies in the field.
Bonus: Sub Zero from Mortal Kombat with Frost and cyber Frost as an alt.

Wut and WUT?
Anyway ... following your rules.
Lara Croft - If Sakurai can get over himself enuff to bring in a Western Rep that's OWNED by MS he can add the biggest female gaming Icon that also just so happened to be birthed in the West.
Filia - SkullGirls "main protag" which is one of the few times I can actually get behind "the clear mascot" to a fighting game ... cause most of the time it's some generic punch/ sword dude yet Filia is not only unique in the over all sense but also in her game. Sure, it's an indie fighting game that's prob never gonna go anywhere ... but this is my list so fuck you.
Jill - RE's mascot. Capcom already got 3 characters in this game so why not?
Tracer - OW is HUGE ww and Blizzard is a big ass company in the gaming space. She's popped into the gaming scene as this marketable, unique, well designed mascot and could be on her way to being a great gaming Icon down the road.
Cadence - For w/e reason Nintendo decided to let this Indie Game cross over with fucking LoZ so don't @ me on this bro, not a reach at all.
Now, for the list I personally want that doesn't follow those 2 rules ...
Shantae
One of the oldest indies that have stood the test of time with a healthy fanbase that supports the IP. Somehow some way a platformer about a lil brown genie girl has been going strong since the GBC days, devs have been openingly campaigning for her and are more than willing to send her out to w/e game they like, her fan base is strong enough to support a massively successful KS and she's already been acknowledged by Smash ... what more do you want?
Twin or Min- THESE are the people's champions and most popular ARMS characters with way better silhouettes and far more interesting designs and move-set potential. Sadly ARMS falls into the "we're gonna make the "protag/ mascot" of this fighting game the generic all-american-white-bread-basic-bitch-boi even though we can't guarantee people will latch onto him". That's a mistake, you should let that shit come naturally. Feel like that's what happened with Tracer, they followed the fan's on that one. (Also, how rare is it that a Black Woman is the most popular character of a fighting game???)
Would be happy with either or BOTH.
Edelgard
She's the main character of this AMAZING FE game and such a uniquely gray one at that. (The game's main theme song is about her AND song by her and no matter which path you take the story revolves around her actions, don't even @ me on that)
Cooking Mama
We got Villager and cooking can be dangerous AF. Need I say more?
Impa
She's 1 of the 4 characters in LoZ that keeps coming back, let her in
