[@james-robertc.f.9942]

He's sooo nice! Playing the BL route and seeing him react to losing Lonato is so sad but great in terms of being interestinf but he knows he must move on. It's part of why I hate his Catherine support. Catherine just teaches him to indulge her masochism and ruin him. God I hate it so much.

Leonie is actually top tier when she shuts the hell up about Jeralt. There was a paralogue with her where she doesn't mention Jeralt even once, and her actual personality and capabilities really shine.

[@kurimiaisukurimu]

@Merciless Freak I think she's great. Like when she patches up a torn up bag, it looks ugly but she doesn't care cuz it still works and doesn't wanna put it to waste. The way she casually addresses a giant god monster as "Mr Magic Beast". How humble she acts when she actually gets her hands on The Inexhaustible. She really shows how a Commoner who doesn't care much for deities would think and act.

[@thedontpanic]

The writing really does her a disservice when a lot of her monastery dialogues just HAVE TO mention Jeralt. There are still some good moments when she does talk about Jeralt, and I think that part of her still adds to her character positively, but the emphasis the game places on it is too much too often.

[@abnormalsaniaa]

@@thedontpanic if you look at her support with other people especially people outside of the golden deer house she almost never mentions Jeralt. This is just another case of someone not liking a character off the bat so they never indulge in the character’s deeper personality which is understandable but makes you miss so many things. Leonie is actually a really good character. She has no weaknesses which makes her in my opinion one of the best units in the entire game and she genuinely is really nice and considerate to others. Super passionate about their interest and always eager to learn more and grow. Her supports with others reflects that. Wish people didn’t degrade her to a Jeralt simp even though it’s easy to do

[@rock9154]

I really wanted to like Cyril, yunno? But in the end he has two personality traits (one of them is liking Rhea and the other is working hard) which add up to very little. The writing IS him, so I'm not inclined to find him more interesting because of his tragic backstory. Honestly, he just serves to make Rhea more interesting and that's about it

[@Prezzix]

@@rock9154 In JP he is a tsundere as well, they completely removed that from the EN version it seems

[@strawberryymango]

Personally I still like Cyril because I feel despite his bluntness he still looks out for others and cares for them outside of Rhea. (Ex: Ashe, Lysithea, Claude, Petra) I guess as someone who’s an immigrant I related to some of the stuff he went through in terms of suddenly being in another country plus the shit Hilda said to him in their C support. I think it was more on the writers than Cyril himself because they have a good plot line for him that correlates to Claude. His situation his extremely screwed up from being a child soldier, to being a slave, and feeling you’re indebted to someone who doesn’t nearly care for you as much all up to the age of 14.

[@DERyuga]

Cyril is really good, and I think he is the most interesting in Golden Deer and through his supports with those characters (especially Lysithea). The fact that he's an Almyran comes up way more there and Claude will even kind of jokingly champion him for his cause of unity and it works surprisingly well. He has a bit more to his personality than most give him credit for and I think just because he appears as a simpler character doesnt mean he's a bad one. He honestly is one of my favorites because of what I stumbled upon on accident with him, Claude, Lysithea, and just the subtleties in his character. Him still wanting to be a wyvern rider because that was a tradition back home was really touching and it shows that he still has that link to his culture/homeland despite the fact that he resents them for being orphaned. I believe while he appears one note because of his blind gratitude to Rhea, he's got a lot more to him than a lot of the other "I love Rhea" characters

[@a_peridox]

Also I don't think I've ever seen anyone question the fact that Rhea never taught him how to read or write, so he's pretty much a slave but he doesn't see it like that

[@FuyuYuki92]

Personally I feel like Sylvain is one of the characters the writers put most depth in, a clear S tier and my most favorite character of all time. Unfortunately I feel like the fandom easily misses the most interesting parts about him, and the depth the writers have actually given him, because it's not as clearly communicated as with other characters like Dimitri or Bernadetta. He's received quite a few exceptions that aren't explicitly pointed out, so I don't really blame anyone, but least people actually take the time to "read" into this. He's still pretty popular, but also highly misunderstood which makes me a little sad. But wow boy do I love him.

I’m just happy he likes Marianne, Claude, and Bernadetta.

[@SilverxWingx]

Not every character needs a deep meaningful story. And even those three have their own motives and little backgrounds. Ashe is a thief turned adopted son who had a tragic childhood providing for his little siblings and who has no choice but to watch his father figure die and even contribute to it, Petra is a kidnapped princess who was forced to adapt to a different culture and a different language all this while having a metaphorical knife at her neck and Ignaz, well first he's a good son who is putting his family before his own desires and it's great that throughout the game he realises that he matters too, his desires and his passions matter and he shouldn't have to give them up for his family.

[@strawberryymango]

@@SilverxWingx Oh I personally think Petra, Ignatz, and Ashe are interesting characters and their kind and sweet personalities makes them really good people in my eyes. I think Prozd didn’t bother to think much more of them beyond first impressions which I can’t really fault him as much as that’s sad to me. Plus I noticed from his videos he tends to favor female characters more so Ashe and Ignatz were doomed from the start. Also compared to characters like Edelgard, Felix, or Dimtri they aren’t as obviously complex at first so if they don’t grab your attention they come off as more one note.

@@SilverxWingx there’s so much more to felix though. he doesn’t even spite dimitri for what happened to his brother, he’s disgusted with dimitri’s bloodlust which was only apparent to him for the longest time. and he hated his father for writing off glenn’s death as something honourable rather than the tragedy it was. i think the key to understanding felix is first understanding why he’s a “shithead tsundere”, as he clearly wasn’t one as a child. felix is a realist whilst also simultaneously being one of the more sensitive characters in the cast (which he even implies himself) and it gives him a level of depth that makes him both relatable and lovable. the guy’s a lot more than just a tsundere and both his supports and dialogue in AM make that very clear

hanneman's personality is literally >obsessed with crests >obsessed with keeping things tidy and clean >argues with manuela constantly >???

[@pearsemolloy9656]

@@whimsicalchronicles8798 In his supports with Edelgard he divulges the true reasons for why he is so interested in crests and it’s because he actually hates them due to the suffering they cause and how they’re abused by the nobility. This stems from a personal experience of his sister dying due to her having a crest and being married off for political gain. He also hates how crests are used as an excuse to keep crestless and commoners at the bottom of the social hierarchy. He devoted his life to researching crests with the aim of doing away with their significance by allowing everyone to have access to crests so they are no longer special to achieve a similar effect to Edelgard seeking to get rid of them entirely. His supports with Lysithea, Marianne and Dorothea show a much more empathetic and emotional side to him as well. It’s easy to write him off at first glance as a boring scholar obsessed with crests. But by delving a bit deeper you can see he’s surprisingly layered.

And I only realized this in Hilda x Cyril’s support conversation, it’s one of my most favorites but also underrated in the game

Advocating the genocide of an entire nation is not “slightly racist”. Ingrid is actively racist while Hilda is subconsciously racist. That’s why people overlook it.

I like Lorenz because he does have a character arc. You think his rigidity is because of his snobbishness, but it's the opposite. He sees being a Noble as this duty and obligation. He even states he wishes he could marry for love, but traditions dictate marriage is more of a political tool. And while he butts heads with Claude, people forget that Lorenz was going to lead the Alliance before Claude came into the picture. He doesn't see Claude as a usurper, but as someone who is not prepared to lead nor understands Fodlan and it's people. But he lets that go when he realizes Claude is capable and more importantly, a good person. Lorenz is a good dude, even if he has a foot fetish.
