10 Video Game Side Characters With INCREDIBLE Stories

10. Melie - A Plague Tale: Innocence

A Plague Tale: Innocence, first and foremost, was a great game that deserved all the accolades given to it. A major part of what made it so great were the fantastic characterizations contained within the game. The banter between player character Amicia and rogueish sidekick Melie is a high-mark on an already great game.

Melie is headstrong, competent, outspoken, and filled with a moral ambiguity. Through the course of the game she aids the player several times and also disappears for a time to rescue her brother, Arthur, and at the end she goes on her merry way to continue her own adventure.

We still don't know what Asobo Studios plans for an eventual sequel, but with the de Rune family's story arguably completed we'll certainly accept a Melie-based game. We'd also delight in a prequel showcasing Melie and her brother's trials and tribulations as thieves and corpse-robbers during the opening of the plague and English invasion.
