What fictional character death phased you the most?

Artax was just a silly horse, the deaths of the Rock Biter and his friends impacted me far more as a child.

RIP Tasha Yar. I still feel like that was the first funeral I attended.

I'm not really a TellTale fan, but it's pretty easy to see how
in The Walking Dead basically bought them two or three games worth of goodwill to piss away with fans.

A YMMV thing I guess from the reactions, but I think the twist in this chapter is brilliant. It's very rare to simultaneously catch me off guard and feel fair at the same time. I didn't feel cheated. I felt stolen from.
Nanami, no
LOST:not penny's boat
I was watching that with my roomate and we basically both went 'NOOOO FUUUUCK' at that scene.
My recent ones were from Logan
Logan more than Xavier, partly for just how shocking and sudden Xavier's
Ashi, I actually shed tears which is immensely rare for me. No idea why it hit me so hard.
The Road was a hard read, and it's final death efinitely was a brutal one in both the book and movie.

First reply and all that. This for me too. GoT that is
I was legit shook while the credits rolled, and had to remind myself it was a tv show with a production crew there etc. That hasn't happened to me in my adulthood in any fiction ever.
- edit - also the dude in my avi (from TWD), though that was a bit different. Watched that with friends and it was strange combination of horror and hilarity after he FINALLY had something to say that episode

Dragonlance Novels.
The Death of Sturm Brightblade was such a poignant literary moment to my young reader self. Looking back at it, his death was a beautiful sacrifice for others, but I was pretty shocked and dismayed at the time.
Later, I felt just the opposite about the death of Tanis Half-Elven. It was random and out of nowhere and meaningless. I know they were trying to make a point about the ever-present nature of death and danger...but it sucked for a central character to go like that.

Jimmy's wife.....this bothered me more than any other TV death that I've seen. Was brutal and still stays with me.
Game of Thrones
"Hold the Door." As a book reader I was already ready for the deaths in the show, but this was new, and this was quite the reveal of the meaning of his moniker, and so very sad.
Saving Private Ryan
The Jewish soldier that gets stabbed slowly in the heart.
There was a book that I read as a child whose name I can't remember.
It was about deer and chronicled its life from young to death.
I remember being quite affected by the death of the character by natural causes at the end of the book.
Mostly because of that sense of finality to life etc etc.
When I was older I found the book and looked it up online and generally people called it a crap imitation of another book. So I guess it didn't affect many people like it did for child me.

I seriously feel like the show went considerably downhill after his death.

The direwolfs being killed in Game of Thrones pisses me off more than any character death.

My answere for the OP: the death of the 10th doctor affected me more than any other fictional character. It felt like the show had ended (and given how bad it's turned out sinse, it basically did, BBC wishes they could return to the 10th.
This one is mine as well.
I'm sure there are others that I'll think of minutes from now, but from Breaking Bad
Mike and Hank both were pretty depressing. In a show about people with no morals, these were my two favorite characters.

The Wire

Opie. :-( he went out like a G though!
The Wire
Wallace. None of the other deaths bothered me as much as his for some reason.
Game of Thrones
HODOOR!!!
Comics:
Y: The Last Man
Agent 355! Before I started the series someone told me brace yourself there is a death in the end thats going to hurt. As I read I assumed the death would be Ampersand so I braced myself for that. So 255 caught me completely off guard.
The Walking Dead
Tyrese.

Ooh, yes, that was truly disturbing. But Orlando Bloom? I don't get it. He wasn't in that movie.
Literally the ONLY character I liked and cared about.

Star Trek Beyond, how they handled's death. When Spock sees this picture it really hit me.Prime Spock / Leonard Nimoy
What hit me more in that movie was the little scene with the invisible toast to Anton Yelchin
The first act of this movie is incredibly misleading, like it starts like an oscar bait movie about a guy who has to overcome grief and adversity....then he starts killing everybody.
But yeah, it's set up really well.

A lot of good ones mentioned. So I'll suggest 1 I've not seen.
Firstly boardwalk empire.

Owens death took me by surprise. Happened off screen and when you see the body it's almost a blink and you'll miss it moment.
yeah man, this.
I knew the character would die but
the way she died was so unfair and undeserved.

Everyone. Seriously, I can't believe they brought on the K-T Extinction event as the series finale.
That one hit me hard, but none hit me as hard as
Coltains
Erikson is amazing when it comes to major character deaths. Its not even the actual deaths that hit you the most. Its the reactions of the other characters as they mourn and lay them to rest.
Sadly I spoiled some of the most unexpected deaths in the later books so they didn't have the same impact.
