* ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'':
** In ''VideoGame/DragonQuestII'', the Princess of Moonbrooke wears pink.
** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestV'': Nera Briscoletti wears a lot of pink, and as such is touted as very beautiful and ladylike.
** One minor antagonist from ''VideoGame/DragonQuestXI'' is Avarith, a [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Professaurus-type]] monster with predominantly pink scales who is also one of the few female villains in the game.
* The favorite color of Kasumi, the central protagonist of the ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive'' series, is pink, and most of her casual and alternate clothing features pink in it.

* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'', Lenna's hair is pink.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' has Aerith's iconic pink dress and matching hair ribbon. She's the token WhiteMagicianGirl, but her personality isn't super feminine, she has a quick wit and some tomboyish streak.

* ''Franchise/MassEffect'' introduces the character Ashley Williams in a pink uniform. Since it's a ''uniform,'' and Femshep doesn't wear pink, the color probably indicated unit affiliation rather than gender or [[NonuniformUniform fashion choice]], and Ashley's lost unit ''all'' wore pink. It could also be a manufacturer's mark, since all armour made by that particular manufacturer is in the same pink-and-white colour scheme.

* [[PrincessesPreferPink Princess]] [[PrettyPrincessPowerhouse Cookie]] and [[CherryBlossomGirl Cherry Blossom Cookie]] from ''VideoGame/CookieRun'' wear pink and have pink hair.
