For me, it was always Optimus Prime from The Transformers movie.

This is all spoilers, spoiler tagging doesn't really work so proceed with caution

Several from the Misborn series really hurt. I think Vin's death most affected me, but Kelsier was a hard one to swallow as well.

I think the biggest impact though is probably from Swan Song? Sister Creep hit me so hard. I read the book young and I'd never read anything so bittersweet and hopeful but so painful. It really stamped some new emotions in me I think.

Or, gosh, almost anyone in Bly Manor, but especially Dani.

I started reading Dragonlance novels around 10 years old. When I got my hands on the third main one (IIRC), one of the main characters who's a knight died and that impacted me for quite some time.

When the older character in the first(?) book dies, it hit me like a ton of bricks the first time around.

Tinkerbell and all of her friends dying in Tinkerbell and the Neverbeast.

If you know, you know. If you don't, it's an 'unconventional' explanation.

Rose from Please Like Me. Probably partly because my mum also has bipolar.

Oh this was such a rough fictional death for me, too.

I think it was because I was hopeful for her character.

Alzire Maheu in Germinal. Thinking on it now maybe that's one of the reasons I'm pro union

It’s a constant stream but most recently it was Swindler from Akudama Drive because she didn’t deserve anything that happened to her.
