For this list I'm sticking strictly with characters that were mostly fully written and have their own personalities pretty much set by the game's creators, rather than personalities that were completely player-determinant (ie....Revan in KotOR, The Nameless One in Planescape Torment, etc.)

• Manny Calavera - Grim Fandango
• GlaDOS - Portal & Portal 2
• Chloe Price - Life Is Strange & Life Is Strange: Before the Storm
• Alex - Oxenfree
• Morte - Planescape Torment
• Riley - Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals
• April Ryan - The Longest Journey
• Cate Archer - No One Lives Forever 1 & 2
• SHODAN - System Shock & System Shock 2
• William "B.J." Blazkowicz - Wolfenstein contemporary series (New Order, Old Blood, The New Colossus)
• Monkey & Trip - Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
• Jolee Bindo - Knight of the Old Republic
• Solid Snake - Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 4
• Peabody & Atlas - Portal 2

• Alyx Vance - Half Life 2 + Episodes, Alyx

Alyx is a great one. A lot of good characters in HL series. Her dad also

Ichiban
Female voice actor for your Sunset OD toon. Yes it counts. Generic character technically but didn’t feel that way.

My top two.

Yuna FFX.

If I ever finish FF13 (one day I will) I really like Lightning and Fang. I do like FF-13. I’m about 24 hours in and to where the game “opens up”.
