Life is Strange first launched in 2015, and has been a staple in the episodic choose-your-own-adventure videogame format since. The series has since spawned numerous entries including a sequel and spin-offs. Though indie music and superpowers are commonly associated with Life is Strange, so is its host of spectacular characters. From interesting protagonists to difficult decisions, we all love figures like Max Caufield, Chloe Price, and more.

But with so many characters in the series, it also means that a few have slipped through the cracks and perhaps don't get the appreciation they deserve. Whether it's due to not having as much screen time or maybe being overshadowed by others, we believe these characters deserve more love from the fans.

Spoilers for Life is Strange, Life is Strange 2, Life is Strange: Before The Storm, and Life is Strange: True Colors below.

8 Nobody Does Rivalry Like Victoria Chase

It may come as a surprise, but bully-turned-possibly-friend Victoria Chase has always been denied the care and consideration she deserves. Although she bullies the lovable protagonist of Life is Strange, Max, some snooping around and understanding of her character reveal this is likely due to her own insecurities. The right choices can also get her to open up and show a young and misguided woman who will turn out to care about Max and be apologetic for her behaviour.

The worst part is when Victoria ends up getting kidnapped (and possibly murdered) by Mr. Jefferson. However, it's revealed in Life is Strange 2 (for those who sacrificed Arcadia Bay), that Victoria survived and is now an art gallery host, who clearly admires Max and Chloe. Despite being a bully, the trauma Victoria went through was far from what she deserved, and her character development into a kinder person can often be overlooked.

7 Reginald McCallister III Has A Sad Tale

A tragic character in Life is Strange: True Colors, Reginald McCallister III is an eccentric fellow who lightens up any room he's in with his humour and kindness. But throughout the episodes, we learn about his strained relationship with his daughter, his clear alcohol problem, and his widowed status.

He may come across as an oddity when first introduced but the writing for him does great justice in constructing an interesting and heartwarming character. He has his own woes that can be understood and empathised with.

6 Ryan Lucan Deserved Better

When compared to Steph, it was kinda obvious that Ryan had little to no chance as a romance option. However, that doesn't mean he isn't a great friend to Alex. But what's more concerning is how his feelings tend to be dismissed by fans.

He loses his best friend, finds out his father is a fraud and a murderer, and can possibly be left all alone if Alex (and possibly Steph) decide to leave Haven Springs without him being romanced (which is likely). Ryan is a sensitive soul who deserved far better than he got, and could really use a little more love for everything that he went through.

5 Jacob Hackerman Was Important

From one sensitive soul to another, Jacob is from Life is Strange 2, and is first introduced as a shy young man. He is later revealed to be a survivor of conversion therapy due to his sexuality. The character opens up an important discussion into the ramifications of conversion therapy and religious zealotry which tends to be overlooked in comparison to the main characters and plot, which is to rescue Daniel from the same community that Jacob escaped.

Though he appears in just a couple of episodes, Jacob really helps move the story along, touching on some serious topics. He deserves to stand out more as a well-written character from Life is Strange's sequel.

4 Nobody's A Better Mother Than Joyce Price

Joyce Price is the mother of the popular character Chloe, a caring and strong figure who tries her best after the loss of Chloe's father. Joyce got a lot of love when Life is Strange originally launched, but that seems to have fizzled out — even with confirmation of her death due to the sacrifice of Arcadia Bay ending.

Much like the other characters on this list, Joyce has been through a lot and can sometimes be underappreciated. Many forget that though Chloe lost a father, Joyce lost a husband. However, she has to remain strong and work hard to support what's left of her family.

3 Charlotte Harmon Teaches Us About Grief

Life is Strange: True Colors continues to showcase one tragic character after another. Charlotte Harmon has to deal with her boyfriend's death and being relegated to being a single mother once again. Charlotte demonstrates incredibly complex feelings of anger, guilt, depression, and so much more that come with the feeling of grief.

From an incredible performance by voice actor Exzinia Scott to writing that gives us time to process Charlotte's feelings, she is a stellar character that for some reason just never gets mentioned in most discussions of the game.

2 Alex Chen Was A Fantastic Protagonist

It's odd to believe that a protagonist could be underrated, especially when Max Caufield is so beloved. But Alex Chen, unfortunately, fits the bill of being underrated — even though she has led her own game.

Whether it's because people misunderstand her character and the discussion surrounding the experience of the adoption system, or people just label her as "boring", Alex comes across as a strong and personable character with some really great quotes. Not to mention her powers are perhaps the most unique in the series so far, making her just that much more of a great character to play as.

1 Sean Diaz Is The Saddest Protagonist

It's even odder for there to have been two underrated protagonists, but Sean Diaz fits the bill. The protagonist of Life is Strange 2 is set with the heavy task of guiding his brother Daniel after the death of their father, and the discovery that Daniel has powers. It's interesting that the sequel focuses on a non-powered protagonist, leading some to overlook Sean.

However, he has tenacity and courage that is almost unmatched in the series. He tries his best in a world set against him, leading to a ton of interesting choices in what path he goes down.
