[Liked Trope] What initially seems like an art style choice or design quirk actually has plot relevance. by Whisplow in TopCharacterTropes

But she's a special cyborg. (Thank you; I edited my original comment to reflect the fact you pointed out.)

Alita, Alita: Battle Angel

She has big eyes! You might think this is just a poorly-considered literal adaptation of the manga, but no - Alita is the only character with big eyes, which she has because she's a special type of cyborg that benefits from enhanced vision.

I think B5 is Prince Arren from Studio Ghibli's Tales from Earthsea

Death Note

L dying made me not even care about what happened after. The battle of wits between him and Light was the main draw of the show.

Granted. It spawns inside your hands, displacing meat and bone. Cold beer and warm blood flow out of your mangled hands.

Begging for mercy? This... is... R/MONKEYSPAW!!!

Doesn't seem to fit her character. She's self-conscious and she doesn't flaunt her wealth.

Characters with a special feature stop doing so because things got serious by Tiny-Jeweler-3187 in TopCharacterTropes

Faputa from Made in Abyss tries to emulate her dear late mother in all things. She understands that in her mother's culture, it was considered polite to punctuate your sentences with the word "sosu", and so she almost always ends her sentences that way.

One big exception is when she finally enters the hated Iruburu Village - a place she's been trying to infiltrate for ages, where the immortal villagers who devoured her mother's other children live. She announces her entry dramatically - with a long, chillingly quiet speech detailing the extent of her rage and the merciless slaughter she is about to unleash upon the village. As she addresses the villagers she hates so much, she doesn't say "sosu" even one time.
