My retro favorites are Rikku (especially in FFX-2) and Celes from FF6. Rikku's the type to light up a room, and it turns out I have a thing for quirky, techie girls from persecuted minority groups which would later come up with Tali'zorah in Mass Effect. Of course, Rikku's more daughter goals than girlfriend goals now that I'm older. Awkward.

With Celes, there have been better, deeper portrayals of depression in RPGs since, but back in the 90's I really appreciated seeing a character that isn't boundlessly confident and has trauma to work through. Love her story.

I also really liked Aranea from FF15. Still feeling robbed that we never got her DLC.
