Megalobox tattoo!!!!
Chief-specific hummingbird cause the hummingbird as devotion motif works so well and Chief especially burrowed into my brain.
Quote is from one of the episode titles. "Though you feel powerless, still God offers their image as a stepping stone."

Gotta go with Terrangima. Beautifully expressive, epic story, pretty smooth combat, gorgeous music, interesting level gimmicks... but v unclear interacting progression systems, bad difficulty spikes, and a ROUGH endgame cause Quintet ran out of time

My other go-tos were mentioned so I'm gonna say Hornet counts!
During Silksong she's finding blueprints and remnants of devices and makes new stuff out of them or does her own craft restocking when she rests

Digging past the obvious answers, Shade running the Ghost Ship in Trials of Mana was a highlight for me, even if it's ridiculously difficult

FF9's Blank
We get like *nothing* about his backstory so like... is my dude a Frankenstein, a zombie, just a dude whose had tons of injuries? Some other nonsense????? More Blank content is the main reason I'm hoping that rumored remake is legit

Tales of Phantasia's Chester was one of the first long-haired guys I encountered, and with the blue and the swept back look I was always very taken with his whole vibe

Gotta give it to Kafei! Getting all the timing right for his quest is *hard* but it does lead to one of the shining points in the game, just that moment of "everything's fucked but we're here together" really hit.
Also man just how much do you know of Clock Town's underbelly...

This was hard and I hope my research didn't fail me!
Bomberman 3 gives the villains mechs, which I don't think have returned? Gamepuku made things interesting cause he'd release water streams that would move your bombs around the map
(Or you. Or you with a bomb meaning you were basically dead)

Hard to pick cause everything GBC/SNES/PS1 or older is just in this mental morass of "it exists!" for me, so I might be overlooking something but
Gotta give it to Quintet and the start of their iconic "trilogy" with Soul Blazer

As soon as you previewed this question, I did circle through the BoF casts, but my actual answer absolutely has to be the Secret of Mana Spiky Tiger. Weird attacks, tricky strategy if it's one of your first action RPGs, and a jump in enemy stats. Luv him even if I needed to wait months to beat him

The Story of Seasons dogs! Specifically the Back to Nature one, training for the dog race is sweet, but generally I just love the good round boi.

Playing low cause I had a cold the other week AND it's been forever so my stamina is low but eeeyyyy
(Played 3 sets total, two of which went to extra song, but most of it was what is usually 5s for warm ups, 7 is my baseline, so few scores that made me feel accomplished)
