Most memorable NPCs outside of main scenario or sidequests?

[Ar4093]

Canadane, can you add onto that, im interested.

mine is going to be a cliche response, but the little miqo'te girl. she spawns at night in idyllshire waiting for her parents.... wtf SE T_T

I'm not sure which one it is, but one of the NPCs in Idyllshire says the girl's parents still haven't returned from the Answering Quarter.

There's a FATE in the Hinterlands called "Sun Bear, Sun Bear, What Do You Eat?", its description reads

It is said that once a sun bear acquires a taste for the flesh of man, it will eat nothing else. Two missing Miqo'te lovers who were last seen in the Answering Quarter─an area now overrun with violent sun bears─suggest that taste has already been acquired.

Why, SE?
