For me, maybe Razor from Maniac Mansion, even though I never made it more than ~30 mins into that game. My kid brain didn't understand the funny tingly feeling but years later I realized, "oh duh, hot punk babe".
There was also Princess What's-Her-Name, though she wasn't much of a character.
In terms of characters with actual detailed personality, the first big one was probably Rinoa from FF VIII. I was the same age as her when I played it.
My hunch is you have a thing for redheads.
And latex/spandex. Now that you mention it, this might've been the start of both lol
Congrats, you may have learned something new about yourself today! That doesn’t happen every day.
Jean Grey was a big influence on me as a kid; redheads in spandex… I get it.
rinoa was my absolute favourite ff character ever and the first ff character i ever cosplayed <3
I thought I saw elsewhere in the thread that you're also on Team Quistis. She's great too 😄
oh i am a trepie but rinoa is one of my favourite ff characters ever (rinoa, yunie, aerith, lightning, and clive) :)
