Oh this is fascinating and tricky as some of them might be spoilers

For Will, its a scene in the Paul Creswick version where as he's to be hanged and he asks for a sword to die like a man and then the surprise and joy he shows in being saved. Here's the scene, my Will is Stuteley here.

With Charles, this is hard as but I think actually the moment with the two Charles in Days of Future Past gets who Charles is. Here, the focus on hope and compassion which to me is Charles. He cares and wants the best as his own mutation shows him all the pain around him.

Quentin's defining moment for me keeps changing as new books come out but it all comes down to him adapting and being at Toby's side and bantering.

“He's going to be okay," said Quentin. "He has to. He's Tybalt. You'd be all weird and irritating if he wasn't around."

"Weird and irritating?" I raised an eyebrow. "What gives you that idea?"

Quentin shrugged. "That's already how you get when he isn't around.”

Sameth's another where I need to search out the right quote, but the one on his journal is a favorite as he sums up all he does as 'making things'. Also this moment where he realizes who he's meant to be.

“...I've been thinking that it's as if my ancestors are saying it's all right to make things. That's what I'm meant to do. Make things, and help the Abhorsen and the King. So I'll do that, and I'll do my best, and if my best isn't good enough, at least I will have done everything I could, everything that is in me. I don't have to try to be someone else, someone I could never be.”
― Garth Nix, Abhorsen

This quote sums up Moist's attitude to everything.
“Never promise to do the possible. Anyone could do the possible. You should promise to do the impossible, because sometimes the impossible was possible, if you could find the right way, and at least you could often extend the limits of the possible. And if you failed, well, it had been impossible.”
― Terry Pratchett, Going Postal

Ivan is best shown in Brothers in Arms for what will be his next OOM. He's being used as bait for Miles in a terrifying spot, once he's rescued, he goes back in there even though he hates it because he needs to.

For William, the last scene at the train, where he faces off against Ben and lets out the horses or actually any point after he leaves the hotel. He won't let his father face what's out there without him.

Tumnus' honesty to Lucy and for Jane, in Becoming Jane, her choice to say goodbye as its the right thing to do.

Demeter's is how even in her grief, she for a time tries to help the family she's staying with.
