* ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'':
** Baiken has always been among the most recognizable characters the series has but was never too much around the cream of the crop like Sol, Ky, Dizzy, etc. However over the years, she has grown more and more popular for her design and personality that by the time of ''Xrd'', newcomers and outsiders were interested in Guilty Gear solely for Baiken alone, to the point that [=ArcSys=] is very confident in lending Baiken for other video game series as a guest, and as a selling factor for separate DLC in ''Guilty Gear'' itsself. Baiken also plays a central role in ''STRIVE'''s story DLC [[SimultaneousArcs Another Story]], when in past games she tended to have more of a solo arc largely independent from most characters.
** However, Baiken barely even holds a candle to the likes of Bridget, who has arguably been ''the'' breakout character of the series since her debut in ''XX'', thanks to her cute design, as well as the humor revolving around it, even originally being the trope namer for UnsettlingGenderReveal. However, her reintroduction in ''STRIVE'' truly cemented her status as a breakout character with her being retooled from an effeminate young man made to wear feminine clothing, to a full-on transgender woman; a decision that, while initially controversial, resulted in her gaining a ''massive'' surge in popularity, especially since the ''Guilty Gear'' series was already incredibly popular in the LGBTQ+ community. It's gotten to the point that Bridget is now the de-facto face of the series, eclipsing mainstays such as Sol and Ky.

* Naoto Shirogane from ''VideoGame/Persona4'' also proved popular enough to get [[Literature/PersonaXDetectiveNaoto a spin-off novel, which was later adapted into a manga]].

* Maeve from ''VideoGame/{{Paladins}}'' isn't important to the lore, being a neutral party who isn't part of the main conflict between the Resistance, Magistrate, and Darkness, but her cute design led to her being the most popular character by far, which in turn resulted in her getting [[RevenueEnhancingDevices new skins]] much more frequently than any other Champion.
* Naoto Shirogane from ''VideoGame/Persona4''also is the last of the main characters to join the team, but despite the reduced screentime that entails, she proved popular enough to get [[Literature/PersonaXDetectiveNaoto a spin-off novel, which was later adapted into a manga]].

* ''VideoGame/AHatInTime'''s Snatcher and Vanessa had no role outside of the Subcon Forest level (and Vanessa only appears in one chapter), but they quickly became some of the most memorable characters due to Snatcher's hilarious LargeHam personality and amazing boss battle, and Vanessa's level [[SurprisinglyCreepyMoment being pure horror in an otherwise lighthearted game]]. Snatcher became the host of the ''Seal the Deal'' expansion's Death Wish mode, while Vanessa has a prominent role in the ''Vanessa's Curse'' expansion.
