I guess it isn't so much a character as a class, but ever since the first FF on NES I have liked the Red Mage. The versatility, the style, the idea of being able to do just about anything.
This has carried over into many other games I've played through the years. My first D&D character was a Ranger because I wanted to be good with swords and cast spells. When I later discovered Warmages, Duskblades, Magi, etc I gravitated more toward those to fill the Red Mage feel I craved. In Elder Scroll games I play a Spellsword style character, swords and spells and good sturdy armor.
If I had to choose a specific character though, I'd have to say Rydia. Her style (green is my all time favorite color), her tragic story, her power, the amazing growth we see her go through as the game progresses. I've always felt a strong connection to her as a character, and not just because she's a badass summoner.
