Feel free to post your own examples...

I'm just going to do the deed and post it now before you get a thousand people posting it over and over. One of my favorite character leitmotifs has to be the Joker's leitmotif from The Dark Knight. To those who don't know what I'm talking about, it's the first minute of this following link. It just embodies chaos perfectly.

By this thread, I'm assuming you want us to avoid the very obvious, very literal leitmotifs, like Darth Vader/Imperial March, Frodo/The Shire Song, etc.

Apparently I'm not the only person out there who saw Captain Jack Harkness and thought of the chorus of "Captain Jack" by Billy Joel...
