Another FromSoft badass, Lady Maria from Bloodborne! My favorite fight in the game, it feels like a dance weaving between her attacks. She has one of the most tragic backstories of any FromSoft character, which is saying a lot

Guts from Berserk. Man this guy's had it rough. Watching him struggle through all the horrid experiences he goes through is difficult, but watching him change and grow is so engaging. Losing everything and everyone but not giving up and continuing to fight and make new allies, such a badass.
