Either Lady Maria from Bloodborne or Alucard from Castlevania.

Samus Aran
Best armor in the biz.
This is now my answer
That illustration is damn good.
To my own surprise, I actually didn't have an answer in mind at all when I saw this thread. Thought about it a while and I'd be tempted to use one of my favorite Pokemon designs (Rhydon, Gyarados, or Lilligant). I also really liked Rhea a lot from Three Houses. So one of those four, but I also think I'd probably come up with a better answer if I thought about it hard enough.
Bloodborne Hunter.
All the clothing sets in the game are amazing but this set is probably one of the most iconic.
Queen from Suikoden III.
Look, there are far too many characters in videogame history for me to have one "favorite" or even a meaningful top fifty. But this is a design that has stuck with me and doesn't often come up in conversation (because she's a relatively minor character in an unloved entry in a dead series). I'm sure the pants have something to do with it. They weren't super common on jRPG females back in the day.
its Pikachu, unless you're going to say that's not a character.
not many characters are maxed out on both Cute and Cool at the same time.

Splatoon's Inkling Girl (specifically the OG Splatoon 1 version)
It's just a perfect depiction of a sporty kid in the summer with that punkish teen attitude. It's still such a new design at like, 4 years old, but I find it more iconic and memorable than designs I've been exposed to for like 20 years, lol. (Also the Splatoon 1 ink tank color palette fit the vibe of Splatoon better than the 2 variant, imo)
2B and 9S are both pretty incredible designs. I mean I was already going to buy and love the Platinum/Yoko Taro game anyway but I still remember feeling like I'd never been sold on a game harder in one single frame than when those designs dropped.
The best boy in video games.
A perfect pink plush of perfection, and he wears many many cute hats to further elevate his perfect design.

He's using the expression. Make him stop.This mother fucker right here.
I think he goes by Tequila Sunset.
Yup, this is it for me as well, specifically the Super Metroid-era illustrations. I love the way her arm canon opens up to fire missiles.
I can't choose one favorite, but I love Athena Asamiya as she appears in The King of Fighters '95 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Marisa Kirisame from Touhou, it is such a simple design but Zun makes it work. Maybe it helps that unlike other people I actually like his art style.

My favorite is petty much all the alien races in Mass Effect, specifically the Geth/Legion
Some others that come to mind:
Manny Calavera - Grim Fandango
Pyramid Head and the Mannequins - Silent Hill
Red - Transistor
Anubis - Zone of the Enders 2nd Runner
Ico & Yorda

I find it difficult to differentiate the actual design from how you feel about a game or story or a character's personality.
I love Arthur in RDR2, but people will claim it's just because I love the game and story.
I love Lara Croft as well, but people will claim it's just because I'm a man.
I guess if I'm going by the design alone I would choose... hmm... maybe Kirby. Because he's so simplistic in looks but so complex in his capabilities. Earthworm Jim is great as well, but you could only choose one so I'm going with Kirby.
