cynthia: very og laurencore. 9 year old me thought her design was on another level. she's the first female champion in the series and looking back cynthia is passionate about history (and i love passionate characters)

lucina: an og laurencore character. I love how strong-willed, determined, and caring she is. she has strong personal beliefs and puts others before herself. determined, mature for her age, humble, carries so much on her shoulders despite being so young. and the cherry on top, her eng va is laura bailey

hu tao: she is my gremlin but is serious and passionate when it comes to her work. mature for her age. ALSO found family with peepaw :,) (zhongli)

diluc: suits. i love a character in a suit. but also he carries so much weight by himself. i want to gib him a kith. have you seen his birthday art?

kaveh: cat infected blond boys into my brain. i also relate a lot to kaveh when it comes to art. RATSHAKES KAVEH AND ALHAITHAM

neuvillette: ray chase RAY CHASE. this game finally got me to cry because of him. he's i- i- he's a silly peepaw who deserves the world

aventurine: i think about him everyday i am going to throw him in my pocket he deserves the world. his design and his whole story, the love and care hoyo put into his character makes my brain explode

himeko: i just think she's neat and she repaired the astral express

blade: give me more blade please hoyo give me the LORE

jing yuan: another tragic backstory ;-; he couldn't save his friends and lived with the pain and regret for so long (jy I'll pull for you one day)

tifa: i'm tifa's no. 1 fan she's just WOW her design contradicts her personality. she looks so tough and badass, but she has a gentle and caring personality i love it i eat IT UP.

noctis: ray chase... ray chase... noctis... ray chase you ruined my life... thank you...

ryne: throws her in my pocket (i can't write more bc friends are playing ff14)

aqua: fantastic character. her story is so tragic and she's suffered so much, but i admire her kindness and strongwilled personality

(will update when i finish echoes replay)

alm:

celica:

fernand:

byleth: unpopular opinion but byleth is an amazing character. she could be so much better if there was more focus on her. i love her relationship with jeralt and how he makes her express so much emotion. 3 hopes expands on byleth a bit, but i wish they could have done a lot more

alisaie: ohhh oh man stb is where i said alisaie is laurencore. i love her strong-willed personality and her compassion for her friends and her determination. AND HER SASS. i did not like her when she was introduced back in arr but she's my favorite ff14 character

primrose: let her kill men. such a tragic backstory and a badass. WOMEN
