CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@ami_angelwings My #FavCharacterG is Grey, from Void Strangers. I don't wanna speak too much to it, but she's just such a rich character and the game explores her personal struggles and relationships staggeringly well. She's just has a ton of interiority that makes her a really fantastic to see more of as you progress through the game

@ami_angelwings Frieren is probably my #FavCharacterF since there's something about a character like her watching life pass her by because she's so single-minded and effectively culturally different from the people around her, that then realizes that the world is happening around her all the time and there's joy to be found in that. She (and the show) are so contemplative and thoughtful and that's had a very tangible effect on my life

@ami_angelwings my #FavCharacterE is Emil from the Nier series, he's just such a tragic character but I don't think that tragic-ness DEFINES him so much as it informs him? He's just a lost boy thrust into a world that never cared for him, and he finds so much purpose surrounding himself with people that see him for who he is and there's a sincerity to that that's really powerful. Not to mention that he's queer character that has to reckon with an unrequited attraction that adds onto the fact that it feels like the world was never on his side, but even with nothing going his way he still fights and pushes on because he has his little family.

I dunno, I think that's beautiful

@ami_angelwings My #FavCharacterD is Deku from MHA. There's something about a vulnerable boy that grows through his fear and inability into someone deeply capable and strong that never forgets what it feels like to feel sad and alone, and reaches out to everyone that I find really compelling.

So many other characters like him are Good for little stated reason, but Deku really explores that archetype in a way I find it hard to not be moved by.

@ami_angelwings I replied to this the other day but I'm going through to stay caught up and I'm amending my #FavCharacterB to Beat from UNBEATABLE. There's something about a character that gets dropped in an unfamiliar circumstance and gets told "the things you love don't matter" and pushing back violently against that external pressure by making art and finding purpose that I find extremely compelling. She's just an extremely well realized character and I love the way she's portrayed a lot.

@ami_angelwings my #FavCharacterC is Clairen from rivals of Aether just on account of being my favorite character I've ever maimed in any game I've ever played. I wish it were more complex than that but it isn't, I just love her

@ami_angelwings someone else replied A2 from nier automata and I think I agree, she has a really compelling emotional arc in the time you spend with her and I just like her a lot. Especially in the supplemental material
