Best story NPC representatives for each combat job? (up to 5.0 spoiler I guess)

[Big_Panda]

The WoL showcases a new job for each expansion and I started wondering which story NPC would be the best representative for each combat job if we want to shoot a recruitment video.

Here are what I have so far. I excluded job quest trainers since they are not necessarily shown in MSQ.

Warrior: Ardbert, our soul brother from another shard

Paladin: Haucherfant, the man with the smile to die for

Dark Knight: Raubahn, one arm bull

Gunbreaker: Thancred, ex-playboy and doting father

Monk: Lyse, girl in red

Dragoon: Estinien, ex-roommate of Nidhogg

Samurai: Hien, the king without a castle

Ninja: Yugiri, OG dragon girl

Machinist: Hilda, the hound with the gunpowder

Bard: No idea

Red Mage: Alisaie, self-proclaimed (living) bff of WoL

Summoner: Tataru, death by desertion

Black Mage: Y'shtola, enjoys saving the world and dislikes little sun

White Mage: Kan-E-Senna, city leader by day, tree hugger by night

Scholar: Alphinaud, the smartass who talks too much

Astrologian: Urianger, still hoping to be cast in a Broadway show

I'm going to nitpick but Hilda does not wear "lunchbox", and she is not doing constant sideflips. Not really a Machinist representation.
Considering how great difference is between player Machinist and Ishgardian/NPC Machinists, i would say there is no NPC representation yet.

For DRK I'd say Granson
Not technically MSQ but he is a role quest NPC and at least one of those is required for the MSQ so it kinda works
His story arc fits it as well imo

Warrior: Ardbert, our soul brother from another shard

I say nay to puny midlanders.

WAR: I'm going to go with Ardbert because the main NPCs in the WAR are a joke...that whole job quest became a joke after lv50.

DRK: Fray. although Granson would be the next best thing for me. I really liked his character during ShB.

DRG: How can you not choose Estenien?

WHM: Y'stola. just because I like her much better as a WMH.

[Shougun]

Since you left bard open I'd thought to suggest the Wandering Minstrel.

[Canadane]

Wait I've played as many of these characters in role playing segments.
Do they still count as NPCs?

[HakaseNyan]

WHM: Y'stola. just because I like her much better as a WMH.

Y'shtola was never a WHM though? She practiced conjury from Sharlayan. She even uses Collective Unconscious from Astrologian.

[Esmoire]

I can't believe warriors have have to contend with Magnai Oronir and Curious Gorge sullying the image of our proud tradition. What an embarrassment.

While he's technically a marauder, Eynzahr Slafyrsyn is a much more preferable representative. Dorgono too, despite her small frame, knows how to deliver a hit.

Fun fact: Pipin is a Dark Knight
